The agency acknowledged that climate change is already affecting Oregon’s species and habitats and that future climate change represents one of the most serious long-term challenges to sustaining healthy populations of fish and wildlife. This workshop brought together representatives of the research, land and resource management, and conservation communities to contribute to the update and implementation of the Oregon Conservation Strategy. Participants were asked to help ODFW identify climate change impacts and high-priority climate change adaptation strategies for Oregon’s oak-dominated habitats. The meeting was also intended to build and strengthen partnerships in the research and management communities.

The paper draws on two workshops. The first, entitled “Building an Oregon Ecosystem Services Marketplace: Policy Focus Session,” was held in Portland on January 18, 2008. The ideas, suggestions and examples shared at the workshop provided the foundation for a draft of this document that was then discussed at a second workshop, held May 8, 2008, with state agency directors and staff.

  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.
