Morphological characteristics of ponderosa pine and lodgepole pine regeneration nine years after stand density reduction at three sites in central Oregon

Creator:: Michel, Alexa K.
Abstract:: Without the natural occurrence of fire in ponderosa pine forests of the western US, lodgepole pine has started to dominate regeneration in many forest stands and may be gradually replacing ponderosa pine over time. This development, however, conflicts with recent efforts in this region to restore old-aged, open ponderosa pine...

Effects of planting density and thinning on growth, stem form, and crown recession in young red alder

Creator:: Lewis, Robert G. (Robert Gorden), 1959-
Abstract:: Stem growth, stem form development, and the dynamics of crown recession in young red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) were studied by analyzing annual growth rings of stems and knots, annual height increments, projected crown areas, and branch diameters. Forty-one trees were sampled from three plantation spacing studies, representing ages 1...

Response of annual growth ring components to soil moisture deficit in young plantation grown Douglas-fir in coastal British Columbia

Creator:: Bower, Andrew David
Abstract:: The goal of this study was to determine whether annual growth ring variables of young coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii [Mirb.] Franco.) growing in progeny tests are sensitive to availability of soil moisture during the growing season. If ring variables are found to respond to soil moisture deficit (SMD)...

Evaluation of the torsion test for determining the shear strength of structural lumber

Creator:: Heck, Leanne Renee
Abstract:: The torsion test was evaluated as a method for determining the shear strength of full-size structural lumber. The evaluation involved an experimental length study, an experimental depth study, and a finite element study. The length study consisted of fifty nominal 2x4 specimens, ten specimens for each length, and ten American...

Butterflies of the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest : biological inventory and ecological analysis

Creator:: Ross, Dana N. R.
Abstract:: A biological inventory of the butterflies of the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest [HJA] in Linn/Lane County, Oregon was conducted during 1994 and 1995. It was the first comprehensive survey of HJA butterflies for the site and serves as a baseline for future butterfly research. A detailed ecological account is...

A study of the current range and habitat of fuzzy sandozi conks (Bridgeoporus nobilissimus) throughout Pacific Northwest forests

Creator:: Cowden, Margaret McAndrews
Abstract:: Bridgeoporus nobilissimus (W.B. Cooke) Volk, Burdsall, & Ammirati (BRNO) is a Survey and Manage fungi species listed under the Northwest Forest Plan. Perennial sporocarps (conks) fruit on large, dying and dead conifers in late-successional old-growth forests and on remnant stumps and snags in young and mature second-growth forests of the...

World War II wedding dress as presented in United States high fashion magazines: 1939-1945

Creator:: Clayton, Tamara
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to explore wedding dress styles represented in United States high fashion magazines during the World War II period. The objectives of the study were to: discover what wedding dress styles were proposed by high fashion magazines during the period 1935-45, determine if wedding dress...

INDOEX aerosol optical depths and radiative forcing derived from AVHRR

Creator:: Tahnk, William Richard
Abstract:: The Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) had as a primary objective determining the radiative forcing due to anthropogenic aerosols over climatologically significant space and time scales: the Indian Ocean during the winter monsoon, January-March. During the winter monsoon, polluted, low-level air from the Asian subcontinent blows over the Arabian Sea and...

Gas injection consolidation of miniature natural fiber beams

Creator:: Kim, Jae-Woo
Abstract:: The internal structure of natural fiber composites can be manipulated by controlling the spatial distribution of fiber orientation and internal chemical and thermodynamic conditions during their consolidation. Objects highly tailored to specific service demands may thereby be produced. Techniques to form miniature structural beams from oriented hemp and random wood...

Meta-sedimentary bedrock as an alternative source of water for forest ecosystems in a Mediterranean climate

Creator:: Zwieniecki, Maciej A.
Abstract:: Evaluation of meta-sedimentary bedrock as a source of stored water available to plants in a mediterranean climate is presented based on: root length distribution (RLD), root morphology, rock water holding capacity and seasonal pattern of water depletion. Studies were performed in southwestern Oregon under young stands of whiteleaf manzanita, ponderosa...
