• 2. [Article] A pilot test of systematic review techniques: evaluating whether wood placements in streams of the Pacific northwest affect salmon abundance, growth, survival, or habitat complexity

  A systematic review of evidence was conducted concerning the effects of large wood placement on salmonids. In contrast to a general literature review, a narrowly focused question was targeted. The question ...

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A pilot test of systematic review techniques: evaluating whether wood placements in streams of the Pacific northwest affect salmon abundance, growth, survival, or habitat complexity Author: Behan, Jeff, Giannico, Guillermo R., Burnett, Kelly M., Institute for Natural Resources A systematic review of evidence was conducted concerning the effects of large wood placement on salmonids. In contrast to a general literature review, a narrowly focused question was targeted. The question was formulated before the review commenced and specified the subject, treatment, and outcomes of interest. The primary review question was “Does instream wood placement affect salmonid abundance, growth, survival or habitat complexity?” Publications were found with a comprehensive, documented literature search and were selected for review based on explicit inclusion criteria. Two science reviewers evaluated the selected set of publications. The reviewers considered specific criteria to assess how relevant each publication was to the primary review question. Details for each publication considered in reviewing its relevancy, including factors that might have affected study conclusions, are reported. The overall strength of reviewed evidence is summarized in a narrative synthesis. Gaps in research are highlighted. Insights are provided into the process, feasibility, and utility of systematic reviews for assessing and synthesizing the science available to support forest management decisions and policymaking.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Report and recommendations of salmon anchor habitat strategy work group Author: McCollister, Mark, Wilkeson, Ray, Hanneman, Paul, Westbrook, Helen, Moskowitz, Dave, Institute for Natural Resources, Griffith, John The 2003 Oregon Legislature directed the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) to convene a citizen work group to review and evaluate the ODF Salmon Anchor Habitat Strategy for state forests in northwest Oregon. In November, 2003 ODF contracted with the Institute for Natural Resources (INR) to support the SAH Work Group. INR designed and oversaw a process for the SAH Work Group that facilitated dialogue among interested parties, scientists, land management professionals, and policy makers. The goal was to illuminate the SAH policy, identify issues and develop recommendations while respecting the perspectives held by all parties.
