Why Monitor?

(Conduct study) (Board of Forestry response) (Design study)

  • Expectations

–Forest Practices Act (FPA)

  • Statute, policy
  • ORS 527.710 (7)
  • Emphasis

–Collaboration –Continuous learning –Adapting to new science

slide-6
SLIDE 6
  • FPA rules work as designed
  • FPA rules may not meet stated objectives
  • Additional study warranted
  • No action needed

Potential Board of Forestry responses:

Monitoring

  • Implementation

– Compliance Audit: 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017 – Reforestation Study

  • Effectiveness

– Western OR streamside protections review – Siskiyou streamside protections review

Temperature Shade Desired Future Condition (DFC)

Topics & Geography

Background on Desired Future Conditions

“…to grow and retain vegetation so that,

  • ver time, average conditions across the

landscape become similar to those of mature streamside stands.”

  • Mature streamside stands

– Often conifer dominated – Age: 80-200 yrs old – Provide multiple functions

  • Desired Future Condition (DFC):

SLIDE 10

Western OR Streamside Protections Review:

Are FPA rules effective in achieving the goals for desired future conditions and large wood?

Systematic review

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Why use Systematic Literature Reviews? Protocol: Rigor & repeatability

  • Search methods
  • Literature inclusion criteria
  • Data extraction and synthesis

Methodical input from interested parties

Western OR Streamside Protections Review

SLIDE 12

Western OR Streamside Protections Review: Systematic Review

DFC

  • Forest management and desired future condition (DFC)
  • Range of DFC conditions
  • Species composition
  • Regeneration

Large Wood

  • Forest management and large wood recruitment
  • Range of large wood
  • What is considered ‘abundant large wood’?
slide-13
SLIDE 13

ODF ‘RipStream’ Protocol Questions

  • 1. Trends in overstory & understory
  • 2. Trends in regeneration
  • 3. Large wood recruitment to streams &

riparian areas ODF ‘RipStream’ study

  • 33 sites (Coast Range), Small & Medium F

streams

  • Pre- and post-harvest data

Western OR Streamside Protections Review: Field Data Analysis

slide-14
SLIDE 14
  • Scope and role of modeling analysis (In progress)

– Stand growth, mortality, and regeneration – Large wood recruitment?

  • Obtain more information (Request for Information):
  • What models? Timeline? Cost?
  • Help Board to make decision about modeling

Western OR:

  • Completed Items

–Timelines developed –Outreach: stakeholders and tribes, partner agencies –Field Data Analysis: Overview of methods and analysis –Revised based on stakeholder and tribal feedback

  • Next Steps

–Complete Data Analysis (Spring 2019) –Compile stakeholder feedback from RFI (Spring 2019) –Present findings to the Board and options for modeling (Fall 2019)

Desired Future Condition Temperature & Shade

Siskiyou Region

Desired Future Condition Science Review Temp./Shade Science Review Contextual Info:

  • Fish status/trend
  • Water quality eval.
slide-20
SLIDE 20

Are FPA rules effective in achieving the goals for stream temperature and shade?

  • Meets DEQ water quality standards?
  • Shade similar to that of mature streamside stands?

Siskiyou Streamside Protections Review: Systematic Review

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Are FPA rules effective in achieving the goals for desired future conditions of riparian forests?

  • Range of DFC conditions in Siskiyou mature streamside stands
  • Understory & overstory comparison
  • Regeneration composition

Siskiyou:

  • Completed Items

–Timelines developed –Outreach: stakeholders and tribes, partner agencies –Systematic review protocol (Siskiyou) –Revised based on stakeholder and tribal feedback –Initial searching and filtering

  • Next Steps

–Update to Board of Forestry with contextual information: Jan 9 2019 –List of studies included/request for studies –Present findings to Board: April 2019

slide-24
SLIDE 24

Send us studies to consider for the Siskiyou Review!

Criteria we use for including studies in systematic literature review:

  • In Siskiyou or nearby part of N. California
  • Setting: forests next to small, medium streams
  • Methods are written up
  • Data on streamside forest conditions, shade, or stream

temperature Can be unpublished as long as it meets criteria.
