JOURNAL ARTICLES

Journal articles are scientific publications that tend to be highly technical, representing the latest theoretical research and experimental results in a variety of research topics. W&W scientists publish in journals, books, and other media sources. Find the latest journal articles written by our scientists. Articles can also be sorted by author or by project/research subject, and are also accessible from Treesearch, a system for sharing free, full-text publications.

GENERAL TECHNICAL REPORTS

A General Technical Report (GTR) provides technical or scientific information often for a technical audience such as land managers, natural resource professionals, etc. It may contain scientific data, descriptions, or syntheses; descriptions of tools and products (e.g., computer programs, simulators, and models), annotated bibliographies, etc. GTRs can be sorted by Title, Subject, or Researcher and are available in PDF format for instant access and easy reference.

SCIENCE BRIEFINGS

Communicating and distributing the scientific knowledge generated by W&W is integral to our mission. Science Briefings bring you up to speed with research highlights selected from peer-reviewed science journals. Briefings communicate our most significant findings to people who make and influence decisions about land management. Science Briefings can be sorted by Title, Subject, or by Researcher and are available in PDF format — simple, easy and fast.
