    A Black Huckleberry Case Study in the Kootenay Region of British Columbia

    Extension Note HOBBY AND KEEFER BC Journal of Ecosystems and Management A black huckleberry case study in the Kootenay region of British Columbia Tom Hobby1 and Michael E. Keefer2 Abstract This case study explores the commercial development of black huckleberries (Vaccinium membranaceum Dougl.) in the Kootenay region of British Columbia. Black huckleberries have a long history of human and wildlife use, and there are increasing demands on the resource in the region. Conflicts between commercial, traditional, and recreational users have emerged over expanding the harvest of this non-timber forest product (NTFP). This case study explores the potential for expanding huckleberry commercialization by examining the potential management and policy options that would support a sustainable commercial harvest. The article also reviews trends and issues within the huckleberry sector and ecological research currently conducted within the region. keywords: British Columbia; forest ecology; forest economic development; forest management; huckleberries; non-timber forest products; wildlife.

This resulted in a Center & Oregon Plant Materials Center total annual harvest of 63.9-80.2 kg/woman/year from the Tenino-Wishram area, and 90 kg/woman/year from the Umatilla area. The net result was a huckleberry harvest yield of 31 kcal/person/day in the Tenino-Wishram area and 42 kcal/person/day for the Umatilla area (Hunn 1981: 130-131). Vaccinium species contain 622 Kcal per 100 gm huckleberries, with 15.3 gm carbohydrate, 0.5 gm fat, 0.7 gm protein and 83.2 gm water (Hunn 1981:130-131). In the fall, after the harvest, it was common for the Sahaptin to burn these areas to create favorable habitat (Henry Lewis 1973, 1977). Fire creates sunny openings in the forest and edges that foster the rapid spread of nutritious herbs and shrubs that favors the huckleberries (Minore 1972:68).

Title: Ecology of Craterellus tubaeformj',AI in Westerrj..Qron.il/Ill Signature redactSignature redacted for privacy. Abstract approved: A. Castellano Robert P. Griffith Craterellus tuba eformis is a small to medium-sized forest mushroom that is fairly common in the Douglas-fir/western hemlock forests of the Pacific Northwestern United States and is most often associated with decayed coarse woody debris. In this study, the mycorrhizae of Craterellus tubaeformis in western Oregon is identified by DNA analysis using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) typing, and the mantle morphology isdescribed. Host associations with western hemlock, Douglas-fir5 and Sitka spruce are identified using the same molecular techniques, with Craterellus tubaeformis most commonly associated with western hemlock. Differences in genetic sequences and host associations between western North America, eastern North America, and. Europe are presented, and the possibility that variants of Craterellus. tubaeformis from the different geographies might deserve their own species epithets is discussed. The dependency of Craterellus tubaeformis on late seral stands and abundance of coarse woody debris was quantified by surveying 64 plots in the Coast and Cascade ranges of western Oregon.Logistic regression showed that the odds of Craterellus tubaeformis occurrence increased with stand age and coarse woody debris (CWD) volumes, however it is often found in younger stands. The likelihood of Craterellus tubaeformis occurrence in a stand was highly correlated to the presence of western hemlock. Linear regression analysis showed no significant relationships between stand age, CWD volume, slope, elevation, or aspect on Craterellus tuba eformis biomass productivity, though well- decayed CWD was the substrate for 88% of the collected biomass.
