  • Impacts of fuel reduction thinning treatments on oak and chaparral communities of southwestern Oregon 
    Perchemlides, Keith A. (2006-06-02)
    In response to concerns about excessive stand densities and high-severity wildfires, land managers in the western United States are carrying out extensive programs of fuel reduction thinning. How will these sudden redu ...
  • An integrated study of mechanical forest fuel reduction: quantifying multiple factors at the stand level 
    Bolding, Michael Chad, 1977- (2006-06-26)
    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 encroac ...
  • Reducing fire risk on your forest property 
    Oregon State University. Extension Service; Bennett, Max, 1963-; Fitzgerald, Stephen Arthur; Parker, Bob; Main, Marty L.; Perleberg, Andy; Schnepf, Chris; Mahoney, Ronald Lynn; Pacific Northwest Cooperative Extension ([Corvallis, Or.] : Oregon State University, Extension Service ; [Pullman, Wash.] : Washington State University Extension ; [Moscow, Idaho] : University of Idaho Extension ; [Washington, D.C.] : U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, 2010-10)
    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 fir ...
  • Reducing hazardous fuels on woodland property: mechanical treatments 
    Oregon State University. Extension Service; Bennett, Max, 1963-; Fitzgerald, Stephen Arthur ([Corvallis, Or.] : Oregon State University, Extension Service, 2008-08)
    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
  • Reducing hazardous fuels on woodland property: pruning 
    Oregon State University. Extension Service; Holmberg, Joe; Bennett, Max, 1963- ([Corvallis, Or.] : Oregon State University, Extension Service, 2008-08)
    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 ...
  • Reducing hazardous fuels on woodland property: thinning 
    Oregon State University. Extension Service; Parker, Robert T.; Bennett, Max, 1963- ([Corvallis, Or.] : Oregon State University, Extension Service, 2008-08)
    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 ...
  • The role of strategic planning in the management of fire-prone western Oregon forests for maximizing terrestrial carbon stocks over a 100-year horizon 
    Vanderberg, Michael R. (2011-05-25)
    Current frameworks for analyzing forest carbon offset projects in disturbance-prone western forests often fail to address the dynamic nature of carbon pathways through time. They do not account for the probability of los ...
