Vegetation dynamics at two western New York forests

Creator:: Rhea, Neally
Abstract:: Since the early 1900s, widespread agricultural abandonment has occurred in western New York leading to a general increase in forested areas through old-field succession. Even-aged stands typically follow these large-scale disturbances, resulting in a pattern of development with identifiable stages (Oliver 1980). At each stage, changes in vegetation dynamics encourage...

Organizational cultural compatibility of engineered wood products manufacturers and building specifiers in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Fernando, Balapity Modarage Shanuka R.
Abstract:: Organizations are significantly influenced by corporate cultures of the interacting organizations. Both the construction industry and engineered wood products (EWP) manufacturing industry are generally known for operating in a traditional environment maintaining conservative corporate cultures, which can create friction when they try to interact with a more liberal architectural industry...

Effect of organic fertilizers on survival, growth, chlorophyll and NDVI of Aniba rosaeodora Ducke plants in the Peruvian Amazon

Creator:: Vasquez Amasifuen, Cesar Paul
Abstract:: Aniba rosaeodora commonly known as rosewood is a tree species of great socio-economic value in the Amazon because it is harvested for the extraction of its essential oil, which is used in the production of cosmetics. Since rosewood is a wild species included on the Convention on International Trade in...

Effect of Fire Severity on Forest Development in a Mature Douglas-fir Forest in Western Oregon

Creator:: Hidzick, Maxim S.
Abstract:: Wildfires can create alternative pathways for forest development, and wildfires have expanded in size, frequency, intensity, and severity across the western United States. The purpose of this paper is to compare forest development of a mature Douglas-fir forest in western Oregon across fire severities. Postburn field measurements were collected in...

Assessing Sagebrush-obligate Songbird Abundance: Considerations of Landscape-level Threats and Umbrella Species Efficacy

Creator:: Harrington, Alan H.
Abstract:: The umbrella species concept is a single-species conservation strategy built on the notion that indirect protections are provided for multiple species that occupy the same area as a single, or umbrella, species. The utility of the umbrella species concept relies on similar associations of abundance, distribution, life history requirements, and...

Stream Temperature and Autotrophic Responses to Riparian Canopy Gaps Over Forested Headwater Streams

Creator:: Swartz, Allison
Abstract:: Across much of North America, legacies of historic and contemporary timber harvest have created a landscape dominated by regenerating forest stands in the early to middle stages of development. Most streamside forests are currently in the stem-exclusion phase of stand development and these closed canopies shade the forest understory and...

Assessing Mechanisms of Douglas-fir Growth Response to Operational Nitrogen Fertilization in Western Oregon

Creator:: Putney, Jacob D.
Abstract:: Nitrogen (N) fertilizer is a commonly applied silvicultural treatment in intensively managed Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] plantations. When attempting to maximize average growth responses through fertilization, landowners experience difficulty prioritizing stands for treatment based on the likely magnitude of response and return on the operational investment. Field trials were...

Investigation of Styrene-Free Unsaturated Polyester Resins for Fiber-Reinforced Composites

Creator:: Wu, Yili
Abstract:: Most of existing commercial unsaturated polyester (UPE) resins are typically composed of a UPE and a high amount of highly volatile, flammable, and toxic styrene. The emission of hazardous styrene in the handling of the UPE resins and the preparation and use of fiber-reinforced UPE composites poses severe hazards to...

Interconnectedness of Forest Ecosystem Services, Environmental Corporate Impacts, and Corporate Social Responsibility in the Amazon Rainforest

Creator:: Dancé, Raúl
Abstract:: The ecosystem services provided by our forest resources and woodlands are multiple and diverse on all spatial and temporal levels, and include provision, regulating, cultural, and supporting services (Hanson, et al. WRI, 2008). Human activities are proximate and direct drivers of deforestation and forest degradation. In the Latin American region,...

Analysis of adhesive atomization on composite bond performance

Creator:: Willard, Dylan T.
Abstract:: Spraying of liquid adhesive onto wood surfaces has shown to be a highly effective and efficient method of application across many different wood-based composite industries. However, the dynamics of spraying are extremely variable and distribution can be affected by liquid properties (rheology, molecular weight distribution, and temperature), application parameters (disk...
