Abstract
Standiford, Richard B.; McCreary, Douglas; Purcell, Kathryn L., technical coordinators. 2002. Proceedings of the fifth symposium on oak woodlands: oaks in California’s changing landscape. 2001 October 22-25; San Diego, CA. Gen. Tech. Rep. PSW-GTR-184. Albany, CA: Pacific Southwest Research Station, Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture; 846 p.

The fifth oak symposium was designed to provide a forum for current research and outstanding case studies on oak woodland conservation and sustainability in California. The previous conferences—held in 1979, 1986, 1990, and 1996—serve as rich sources of information about a wide range of subjects on oak ecology, management, uses, planning and conservation. This conference is aimed at natural resource managers, researchers, policy makers, and public and private interest groups. Seventy-two papers are presented in the proceedings. Topics covered include: grazing relations, soil relations, Garry oak conservation, oak regeneration and restoration, fire relations, wildlife relations, urban forestry, oak woodland policy, genetic factors, monitoring, ecology, and a special session on "Sudden Oak Death."


Retrieval Terms: hardwood rangelands, oak conservation policy, oak sustainability, oak woodland ecology and restoration, sudden oak death.
