Mixed conifer and hardwood forest management in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Bennett, Max, 1963-, Fitzgerald, Stephen Arthur, Main, Marty L., and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Forest landowners are interested in practicing alternative silviculture methods on their property without having to clearcut. This publication describes a case study on management of a mixed conifer and hardwood forest in southwest Oregon. The landowners’ management philosophy is to promote mature forest conditions while maintaining multiple species and age...

Biodiversity in managed forests of western Oregon : species assemblages in leave islands, thinned, and unthinned forests

Creator:: Wessell, Stephanie J.
Abstract:: Both leave islands, or green tree retention clusters, and thinning prescriptions have been proposed as alternative silvicultural strategies designed to sustain the structural and biological diversity of managed forests. However, the relationship of the physical structure of leave islands and thinned forests to their associated microclimates, flora, and fauna remain...

Comparing structure and development of Douglas-fir old-growth, plantations, and young natural forests in western Oregon

Creator:: Dowling, Christopher D.
Abstract:: Ages, diameter growth, density, tree size, and species were studied in old-growth, plantation, and young natural Douglas-fir stands in three areas in western Oregon: the western and eastern Coast Range and the western Cascades. The purpose was to compare the development of these three stand types and to determine whether...

Patterns in understory vegetation communities across canopy gaps in young, Douglas-fir forests of western Oregon

Creator:: Fahey, Robert T.
Abstract:: Canopy gap formation is a major factor contributing to maintenance of overstory species diversity and stand structure in forests and may be integral to development of understory shrub and herb layers as well. Acknowledgement of gap formation as a fundamental feature of natural forests has led to consideration of gaps...

Temporal effect of vegetation management on growth and wood quality of conifers in a western Oregon plantation

Creator:: Goracke, Heidi S. Roe
Abstract:: Concern over the increasing proportion of juvenile wood grown in second growth plantations has led to a large amount of research on the effects of common silvicultural practices on wood quality. Lacking is research on the effect of timing and duration of vegetation control on wood quality near the pith...

Converting western Oregon red alder stands to productive conifer forests

Creator:: Bondi, Michael C., Emmingham, William H., and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: It doesn’t come easy! Does any of your woodland property look like the alder stand at the left? If your goal is to convert this kind of ground to a productive conifer forest, you should know it can be a challenging task. You’ll have to do something with all that...

Presence, relative abundance, and resource selection of bats in managed forest landscapes in western Oregon

Creator:: Arnett, Edward B.
Abstract:: I studied presence, relative abundance, and resource selection of bats in managed Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests in western Oregon from May through September, 1999–2001. Species richness was not related to elevation, density of snags, or length of edge or perennial streams in sampled landscapes. I captured bats more frequently in...

Diversity and abundance of birds across a hardwood gradient in early seral Douglas-fir plantations

Creator:: Ellis, Tana M.
Abstract:: Recent evidence suggests that population declines of some avian species may be driven primarily by reduced quantity and diversity of early-successional habitat on the breeding grounds. Increasing intensity of forest management on private lands and decreased harvest rates on federal lands has resulted in a loss of the diverse early-successional...

Context matters : A multi-scale assessment of riparian tree response to upslope density reduction

Creator:: Ruzicka, Kenneth J., 1982-
Abstract:: Forest management is rapidly undergoing a transformation from a discipline based on efficient commodity production to one for multiple uses, especially on federally managed land in the United States. This new management paradigm has challenged silviculturists to develop and adapt forest management techniques that can deal with increased demands. Using...

Created Snag Dynamics and Influence on Cavity-nesting Bird Communities over 25 years in Western Oregon

Creator:: Barry, Amy Marie
Abstract:: Snags provide critical habitat for nearly one-third of wildlife species in forests of the Pacific Northwest, so historic declines in snags are thought to have had a strong impact on biodiversity. Resource managers often create snags to mitigate the scarcity of snags within managed forests, but information regarding the function...
