An opportunity cost approach to land preservation in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Aliski, Leon David
Abstract:: This study estimates a range of opportunity costs associated with three land management alternatives for a site in the Oregon Coast Range. A 35,000 acre site was selected which includes a mix of federal and private land ownership and provides significant biological resources. The first alternative examines a plan for...

Managing western hemlock forests in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Duddles, Ralph E., Fitzgerald, Stephen Arthur, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Western hemlock forests in the coastal areas of Oregon are some of the most productive and diverse forests in the world. This rich diversity represents both a challenge and an opportunity for woodland owners interested in managing western hemlock on their property.

Response of terrestrial vertebrates to three silvicultural treatments in the Central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Chambers, Carol Louise, 1958-
Abstract:: Growing concerns over maintaining animal and plant biodiversity have led to significant changes in forest management policies in the Pacific Northwest. Silvicultural alternatives to clear cutting are being suggested to promote development, retention, or creation of late-successional features such as large trees, multilayered canopies, snags and logs. As alternative management...

Growth and yield, structure, composition, and soil compaction in a Western Oregon Douglas-fir forest after 35 years of modified selection thinning

Creator:: Stringer, Darin S.
Abstract:: Modified selection thinning has been utilized by some non-industrial foresters in Douglas-fir forests of Western Oregon and Washington for at least 35 years. This silvicultural strategy has not been tested, but has often been associated with reduced volume production and other undesirable effects. It continues to be used on many...

Nutrient and tannin concentrations of shrub leaves in managed and unmanaged forests of the Oregon Coast Range : implications for herbivores

Creator:: Lange, Karen M.
Abstract:: Many herbivores of the Pacific Northwest rely on forest understory shrub leaves for a source of nitrogen, energy, and moisture. I measured nitrogen, protein-binding capacity, and condensed tannin concentration as indicators of available nitrogen; cell wall constituents and lignin as indicators of available energy; and moisture concentration in young and...

Silvicultural and financial analysis of three case studies in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Rudd, Christopher Channing
Abstract:: Three data sets were examined to determine the costs with and without constrained forest management practices. Two adjacent sites in the Coast Range of Oregon were studied. One of the units was broadcast burned while the adjacent site was left unburned. The stands were projected for growth and yield in...

The effects of forage improvement practices on Roosevelt elk in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Stussy, Rosemary J.
Abstract:: Forage availability, diets, distribution, and productivity were compared for Roosevelt elk, Cervus elaphus roosevelti, using improved (i.e. seeded, fertilized, and grazed) and untreated areas of the Oregon Coast Range. Seasonal forage availability was substantially different on 1-year-old improved and untreated clearcuts, but the differences diminished by clearcut age 4 and...

Preliminary reconstruction and analysis of change in forest stand age classes of the Oregon Coast Range from 1850 to 1940

Creator:: Teensma, Peter Dominic Adrian, 1956-, Rienstra, John T., and Yeiter, Mark A.
Abstract:: Fire and other catastrophic disturbance events in the Douglas-fir forests of the Oregon Coast Range have been significant in determining the distribution of stand age classes and, hence, habitat. Except for the past half century, knowledge of fire in the region has largely been local and anecdotal. The Douglas-fir forests...

Spatial and temporal patterns of fire in the forests of the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Impara, Peter C.
Abstract:: Fire history and fire regime were interpreted from tree ring analysis of 4320 stumps at 178 sites in a 25 by 55 km area in the central Oregon Coast Range. A total of 27 fire episodes were identified in a 516 year period, with sizes estimated at 18 to 544...
