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.

Disturbance and landscape history as a reference for evaluating forest management effects at a regional scale : examples from the Coast Range of Oregon, USA

Creator:: Nonaka, Etsuko
Abstract:: History is an invaluable source of information to understand and evaluate management influences on contemporary ecosystems and landscapes. The first two chapters (Chapters 2 and 3) explored the concept of historical range of variability (HRV) in landscape structure and stand structure using a stochastic fire simulation model to simulate presettlement...

Tradeoffs associated with managing forested landscapes for multiple-uses

Creator:: Lichtenstein, Mark E.
Abstract:: This study focuses on the tradeoffs that exist for managing forested landscapes for biodiversity and timber production. Tradeoff evaluation is important to natural resource managers so they can understand the benefits and costs of alternative management prescriptions. The study examines three watersheds in the Oregon Coast Range and 166 terrestrial...

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...

Silviculture practices for riparian forests in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Emmingham, William H., Chan, Samuel S., Mikowski, Dan, Owston, Peyton W., Bishaw, Badege, and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: This publication is aimed at watershed councils, government agencies, and specialists (foresters, wildlife and fisheries biologists) interested in riparian area silviculture or watershed restoration. It contains information on the ecology of riparian forests and a checklist of recommended practices and common mistakes made in restoring conifers to hardwood-dominated riparian forests....

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 thinning on forest-floor small mammals in the Coast Range of Oregon

Creator:: Larson, David J.
Abstract:: Thinning of young Douglas-fir forests has the potential to enhance structural diversity and improve habitat for wildlife. I examined the effects of thinning and thinning intensity on abundance and demographic characteristics of forest-floor small mammals in the Coast Range of Oregon 5 and 6 years after thinning had occurred. Thinning...
