Background Information

This page has links to peer-reviewed scientific literature relevant to the Corvallis Forest. The papers below provide context including but not limited to, the forest sector relative to climate mitigation, scaling, frequency and intensity of harvests related to carbon, and development of forests in the PNW region. 

There is also a useful glossary of terms used on this website and in the Corvallis Forest Stewardship Plan that can be found at the end of the 2026 CFSP document on the CFSP webpage. 

Scientific research and other publications specific to work on in/around Corvallis Forest itself can be found under the What's Happening Now? tab on the left, under Research.
