The relationship between Leaf Area Index (LAI) and current stem-wood production was examined in selected stands in eastern Washington. Stands were sampled with an angle gauge (prism). LAI was estimated from sapwood ar ...

The objective of this study was to examine the life history of vine maple on the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest. This study was conducted as a part of an I. B. P. general study of understory biomass and productivit ...

The comercial thinning of second-growth stands in the Pacific Northwest is becoming increasingly important for satisfying the demand for timber. Cable logging will require the rigging of smaller intermediate support t ...

In order to appraise timber, it is necessary to estimate logging costs with reasonable accuracy. The purpose of this study is to provide a rethod for estimating log loading costs in the Intermountain Region. Nine differe ...

The succession of plants over a period of 25 years was analyzed on clearcut areas in the western Cascades of Washington and Oregon. Thirty-three paired burned and unburned plots were reexamined in 1975. Data were combine ...

Field and greenhouse bioassays were used to compare the mycorrhizal associations of Douglas-fir seedlings from undisturbed forests, and nonburned and burned portions of clearcuts on three Sites in the west-central Cascad ...

This study focused on extensive soil mass movement occurrence in the Willamette National Forest of western Oregon and on intensive measurements of some physical and biological changes in streams following debris torre ...

A program was developed on a desktop computer to determine the cable tensions and position of a balloon tethered by two or more guylines. The program was specifically applied to the analysis of the static load lifting ca ...

Present methods of determining proper glueline cure are inadequate in either production or laboratory situations because they are time consuming and "after the fact". Monitoring the glueline while the wood composite i ...
