Wildfire prevention operations like forest thinning and forest fuel removal result in large volumes of woody biomass available for utilization. In 2007 alone, the US federal government spent nearly $2 billion to fight fo ...

This paper describes a study done on swinging and processing whole tree, tree length and log length pieces in a smallwood Douglas-fir thinning. Two machines were evaluated, a 70 horsepower rubber tired skidder and a ...

The nomenclatural history of Gomphus sensu lato began with Persoon in 1797. Over 200 years species of Gomphus sensu lato have been variously classified also under Cantharellus, Craterellus, Chloroneuron, Chlorophyllum, ...

Residual roots from previous stand components are often cited as a major benefit to stump-sprouts of tanoak in southwest Oregon and northern California. Established patterns of belowground carbon allocation and root/shoo ...

Hysterangium, a genus of hypogeous Basidiomycotina (false truffles) is commonly placed in the Hysterangiaceae and ascribed affinities to the Phallales. It is a large genus among hypogeous taxa and is commonly collected ...

Concern over the increasing proportion of juvenile wood grown in second growth plantations has led to a large amount of research on the effects of common silvicultural practices on wood quality. Lacking is research on th ...

Tension relationships were determined in steel cable passed through a stump notch and anchored to another object. Tensions were measured in the cable coming into and leaving the notch with one full wrap on the stump. D ...

Western forests have become increasingly fragmented landscapes dominated by young stands. Given that western Oregon forests largely consist of headwater systems, there is a need to better understand how headwater fores ...

Remote sensing technologies have proven useful and cost-efficient for quantifying various forest vegetation characteristics over multiple scales. However, significant limitations were encountered in each of two related e ...

Thermo-hygro-rheology of wood-adhesive systems plays an important role during the hot pressing process of wood based composites. The principal objective of this research is to quantitatively study the thermo-hygro rheolo ...
