Estimating Forest Inventory Attributes Using Airborne LiDAR in Southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Shin, Joonghoon
Abstract:: This thesis mainly consists of two parts: (1) comparing statistical modeling methods based on the area-based approach (ABA) for predicting forest inventory attributes using airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data (Chapter 2), and (2) suggesting a new methodology fusing the individual tree detection (ITD) approach and the ABA for...

Mixed-Severity Fire Effects on Biological Legacies and Vegetation Response in Pseudotsuga Forests of Western Oregon's Central Cascades, USA

Creator:: Dunn, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Mixed-severity fire occurrence is increasingly recognized in Pseudotsuga forests of the Pacific Northwest, but questions remain about how tree mortality varies, and forest structure is altered, across the disturbance gradient observed in these fires. Therefore, we sampled live and dead biological legacies at 45 one ha plots, with four 0.10...

Strategies for sampling and estimation of aboveground tree biomass

Creator:: Poudel, Krishna Prasad
Abstract:: The issue of global climate change and an increasing interest in the reduction of fossil fuel carbon dioxide emissions by using forest biomass for energy production has increased the importance of quantifying forest biomass in recent years. The official U.S. forest carbon reporting is based on the forest biomass estimates...

Playing with pedagogy : a case study of contextual teaching and learning for the natural resources classroom

Creator:: Greene, Kim (Kimberly Kate)
Abstract:: This thesis investigates Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) as a method of instruction for natural resources education. The research follows the adoption of CTL in the K-12 classrooms of six teachers focusing on natural resources education at two rural schools in Western Oregon. CTL is being investigated because it connects...

Climbers' preferred management actions : addressing resource and crowding impacts in Yosemite Valley

Creator:: Burns, Molly T.
Abstract:: As more people become interested in rock climbing, the need to understand climbers and their preferences and how their activities impact the resource are more vital than ever. With increased use, and with little empirical data about the Yosemite climbing community, park managers cannot adequately develop a comprehensive climbing management...

Managing for landscape resilience in the frequent-fire forests of central Oregon

Creator:: Platt, Emily K.
Abstract:: Wildfire in dry, frequent-fire forests is a pressing issue for natural resource managers, communities and politicians in the western United States. Area affected by wildfire has climbed steadily over the last twenty years and is expected to increase in the future. Recognition of the importance of both social and biophysical...

Sustainable biomass supply from fuel reduction treatments : a biomass assessment of federally owned land in eastern Oregon

Creator:: Vogler, Kevin C.
Abstract:: Wildfire exclusion over the past century or more has resulted in extensive fuel accumulations throughout much of the West that combined with recent climatic patterns have increased the frequency of relatively uncommon, large, high-severity wildfires. Forest restoration treatments intended to alter landscape-level fire disturbance patterns can be difficult to implement...

The combined effects of vegetation control and seedling size class on Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seedling productivity on a site in Oregon

Creator:: Lefebvre, Robert F.
Abstract:: Controlling competing vegetation with the application of herbicides and increased seedling size at planting has been shown to increase seedling survival and growth. These two important reforestation tools have often been studied independently of each other, limiting comparisons that can be made between them. This study utilized a factorial treatment...

Forest structure and composition changes in a tropical montane cloud forest surrounding an illegal village in Bale Mountains National Park : anthropogenic disturbance along forest resource trails and implications for conservation and management

Creator:: Arechiga, Theresa Ramona
Abstract:: Bale Mountains National Park (BMNP) is currently considered the most important conservation area in Ethiopia. BMNP was established over forty years ago to protect Ethiopian endemic fauna and to preserve an array of habitat types including Afroalpine, Afromontane, and the second largest natural humid forest (Harenna forest) left in Ethiopia....

Trade-offs between management for fire risk reduction and northern spotted owl habitat protection in the dry conifer forests of southern Oregon

Creator:: Comfort, Emily Julia, 1974-
Abstract:: There is a perceived trade-off between fire risk reduction and northern spotted owl habitat protection in dry-conifer forests in southwestern Oregon. Management options for balancing this trade-off need to be sought at the landscape level. Applied landscape ecology suggests three important features to consider are (1) patch size and configuration...
