Remote detection and predicted locations of NIPF fuel treatments in central Oregon

Creator:: Hall, Michael P.
Abstract:: Fire regimes across the western United States have been altered due to past land management and changing land use. Mitigating increased risks of wildfire occurrence in landscapes such as central Oregon requires landscape level management from both governmental and private organizations. Non-industrial private forest (NIPF) owners manage a relatively small...

The "great hope" : bioenergy in eastern Oregon and its implications for dry forest restoration

Creator:: Nuss, Meagan Louise
Abstract:: Oregon has been moving forward with biomass energy development. Large-scale biomass power and cogeneration (producing heat and electricity) have been the focus of the last twenty-five years, while small-scale thermal bioenergy installations (producing heat) have dramatically increased during the last decade. In eastern Oregon, bioenergy is closely linked to restoration...

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...

Reducing hazardous fuels on woodland property: mechanical treatments

Creator:: Bennett, Max, 1963-, Fitzgerald, Stephen Arthur, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Many manual and mechanical methods are used to reduce hazardous fuels on woodland properties. This publication describes three of the most common methods: • Slashbusting and grinding • Mowing and mastication • Crushing
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Reducing hazardous fuels on woodland property : pruning

Creator:: Holmberg, Joe, Bennett, Max, 1963-, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Pruning is removing the lower branches of trees (Figure 1). Increasing the distance between the ground and the lowest tree branches reduces the likelihood that a fire on the ground will use the branches as a ladder to move into tree crowns. A crown fire is more difficult to control...

An integrated study of mechanical forest fuel reduction: quantifying multiple factors at the stand level

Creator:: Bolding, Michael Chad, 1977-
Abstract:: Recent catastrophic wildfires have forced the forest management community to develop new strategies for reducing forest fuels. Tightly spaced understory trees often create a fire ladder allowing surface fires to encroach into the crowns of overstory trees. This situation can lead to intensive, catastrophic, stand-replacement forest fires. Mechanical removal or...

Reducing hazardous fuels on woodland property: thinning

Creator:: Parker, Robert T., Bennett, Max, 1963-, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Thinning is one of the most powerful forest management tools available to landowners for achieving a wide range of goals and objectives. Thinning influences: • Trees’ growth rates and potential economic value • Which species of trees and other plants will be in the stand • Trees’ resistance to insects...

Tree Vigor Response and Competitive Zone Density in Mature Ponderosa Pine

Creator:: Shaw, Randi C.
Abstract:: This study explored the relationship of mature ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws) tree vigor and competitive zone density following thinning and fuel reduction treatments. Competitive zone density (CZD) was defined as the total tree basal area (m²/ha) surrounding a given ponderosa pine tree within a 10m fixed radius...

Converting forest biomass to energy in Oregon : stakeholder perspectives on a growing movement

Creator:: Stidham, Melanie
Abstract:: Within Oregon there is considerable interest in the possibility of converting woody biomass to energy. This interest stems from three converging factors: the desire to reduce the threat of uncharacteristic wildfire by removing excess material from the forests, the possibility to stimulate rural economies that are dependent on forest products,...

Reducing fire risk on your forest property

Creator:: Bennett, Max, 1963-, Fitzgerald, Stephen Arthur, Parker, Bob, Main, Marty L., Perleberg, Andy, Schnepf, Chris, Mahoney, Ronald Lynn, Oregon State University. Extension Service, and Pacific Northwest Cooperative Extension
Abstract:: The degree of wildfire risk depends on both the probability of an ignition and the potential for damage or harm (such as loss of trees, homes, or even lives). Recognizing that you may have a high wildfire risk is the first step in doing something about it. Whether you own...
