Douglas-fir beetle, Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopk., has caused extensive tree mortality in the North Fork Clearwater River drainage since 1971. In 1974, survey estimates indicated a continued decline in the infestation. Average group size decreased from a high of 158 trees per group in 1971 to 17 in 1974. Average area occupied by each group declined from a high of 4.1 acres per group in 1972 to 0.65 acre in 1974. Attack densities decreased; however, brood-to-parent ratios increased. Natural enemies are having a limited impact on population densities. Availability of susceptible host material may be the primary limiting factor on increased infestation potential. Continued salvage logging of infested trees and susceptible stands is encouraged.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Evaluation of the Douglas-fir beetle infestation : North Fork Clearwater River drainage, northern Idaho, 1970-73 Author: United States. Forest Service. Northern Region. State & Private Forestry, McGregor, Mark D. An outbreak of Douglas-fir beetle, Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopk., 40-4 began in 1969 in the North Fork Clearwater River drainage in northern Idaho. This infestation probably resulted from trees felled during clearing for the Dworshak Reservoir, from ice and snow breakage which occurred during the winter of 1968-69 in stands adjacent to the proposed reservoir, and an abundance of mature and overmature Douglas-fir within the drainage. The outbreak reached epidemic proportions in 1970, 40 but was not detected until 1971. To determine impact of this insect on Douglas-fir stands within the area of infestation and establish a base from which to conduct salvage logging, a two-stage survey using aerial photography followed by a ground cruise was conducted in 1971, 1972, and 1973. Area surveyed varied from 288,000 acres in 1971 to 494,000 in 1972, and was reduced 410 to 287,000 acres in 1973. The 1971 survey estimated that 174,164 trees were killed during the 2-year period 1970-71, resulting in a volume loss of 85.8 MMBF of Douglas-fir sawtimber on 288,000 acres. In 1972, an estimated 46,844 trees were killed with a volume loss of about 17.8 MMBF on 494,000 acres. In 1973, the survey estimated that 8,141 trees were killed with a volume loss of 4.2 MMIIF of merchantable timber on 287,000 acres. The infestation has been declining since 1971.

Forest Service, United States. Bureau of Land Management The Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior propose limited changes to language within the Aquatic Conservation Strategy, part of the Northwest Forest Plan. Projects needed to achieve Northwest Forest Plan goals have been delayed or stopped due to misapplication of certain passages in the Aquatic Conservation Strategy. The Secretaries are responding to the underlying need to follow Northwest Forest Plan principles and achieve its goals. Two alternatives are considered in this Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, No Action and Proposed Action. No Action would not change existing language within the Aquatic Conservation Strategy. The Proposed Action would make limited changes to clarify how the agencies should design projects to follow the Aquatic Conservation Strategy. The Proposed Action is the Preferred Alternative.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: International Mekong River Basin: Events, Conflicts or Cooperation, and Policy Implications Author: Yorth, Bunny “International river basin is defined as an area extending over two or more states determined by the watershed limits of the system of waters, including surface and underground waters, flowing into a common terminus” (Shapiro-Libai, 1969, p. 22). There are 276 international river basins providing almost 60% of global freshwater and supporting at least 40% of the world population. Over recent decades, the riparian governments of the Lancang-Mekong River, like other international river basin leaders, may have had different and sometimes conflicting interests in promoting their economies through exploiting shared water, preserving their aquatic resources, or both, in the basin. Accordingly, their interactions have created water events, which can be neutral, conflictive, or cooperative. In this secondary-data paper, there are seven levels of conflicts and seven levels of cooperation, ranging from -7 to -1 and from +1 to +7, respectively. The main discussions of this paper focus on frequencies in each level, outstanding factors found in either conflicts or cooperation of the events, and policy implications. The 190 events from 1952 to 2010 in the Lancang-Mekong River Basin are found to be overwhelmingly cooperative. The result means that six riparian governments – China, Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam – would like to work together. However, these nations will need to do more, especially relating to three outstanding factors found in the conflictive events: dam development, navigation projects, and droughts. In addition, memberships of both China and Burma are strongly needed in the Mekong River Committee (MRC).

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Combined Collaborative Governance Approaches: A Case Study of the Blackfoot Community Conservation Area in Western Montana Author: Sigmon, Abigail M. The Blackfoot Community Conservation Area (BCCA) was created in response to a degrading natural environment coupled with a weakening community. The BCCA is a community owned 5,609-acre forest located in the heart of the Blackfoot watershed in Western Montana. Fearful of development and the creation of subdivisions, landowners banded together, believing that their combined effort would prove more effective than top-down, government decisions. This study compliments previous research and combines Ostrom’s Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework (2007), and both frameworks for collaborative governance developed by Ansell and Gash (2007) and Weber (2013). The results of this study suggest that the BCCA has been effective and successful in promoting positive environmental changes because of the existence of the main principles of collaborative governance.
