  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Science Review of the Oregon Department of Forestry’s Proposed Species of Concern Strategy and the Board of Forestry’s State Forests Performance Measures Author: Institute for Natural Resources On behalf of the Board of Forestry (the Board), the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) approached the Oregon University System’s (OUS) Institute for Natural Resources (INR) to conduct an independent, outside review of the body of science ODF considered as it evaluated forest management plans and developed the Species of Concern (SOC) Strategy. Two products developed by ODF staff were the focus of this science review: The Influence of Modeled Management Scenarios on Habitat for Species of Concern (ODF, 2009a; hereafter referred to as “SOC analysis”) and the Board of Forestry State Forests Performance Measures: An Evaluation of the Achievement (ODF, 2009b). The purpose of the review and this Science Advisory Team report is to: (1) characterize the environmental, economic, and social analyses that were conducted by ODF in 2009 and discuss whether ODF analyses were consistent with best available science in each field; (2) identify and discuss gaps; (3) discuss the range of uncertainty of expected outcomes as detailed in the ODF reports; (4) present other ways to conduct analysis or think about the questions, if applicable; and (5) recommend, if necessary, performance measures for measuring environmental, economic, and social outcomes.
