Barriers to integrating forest planning and budgeting in the U.S. Forest Service

Bailey, Betsy (1985-06-10)
Basic and applied studies on Douglas-fir beetle : spatial relationships of infestations, lipids and host habitat, and attraction distances of pheromone-baited traps

Dodds, Kevin J. (2003-12-01)

Three studies on Douglas-fir beetle (DFB), Dendroctonuspseudotsuae, were conducted to investigate its basic and applied biology. Studies included investigations into the spatial relationship of DFB infestations over mult ...
Basin-scale variation in the spatial pattern of fall movement of juvenile coho salmon in the West Fork Smith River, Oregon

Hance, Dalton J. (2013-01-11)

from the summer dry season to the winter wet season. Such movement that connects summer and winter habitats may be particularly important for coho salmon, O. kisutch, because availability of overwintering habitat can lim ...
Behavior of a 1/6th scale, two-story, wood framed residential structure under surge wave loading

Wilson, Jebediah (2008-10-16)

The goal of this study was to develop an understanding of the nature of surge wave loading on wood framed residential structures for a variety of building configurations and test conditions. The objectives of the study ...
Behavior of metal-plate-connected wood truss joints under wind and impact loads

Redlinger, Mark J., 1972- (1998-01-12)

The objective of this research is to understand the behavior of metal-plate- connected (MPC) joints by examining actual MPC truss heel and tension splice joints subjected to hurricane wind load simulations and impact l ...
Beliefs and attitudes influence willingness to pay recreation fees at an urban forest : incorporating attitudes in contingent valuation methods

Moehrke, Caitlin (2010-10-12)

The current thesis presents contingent valuation research incorporating social psychological measures that investigates recreationists' willingness to pay recreation access fees at McDonald-Dunn Forest, Oregon. Context i ...
Belowground carbon storage and soil organic matter quality following fertilizer and herbicide applications in ponderosa pine plantations along a site-quality gradient in northern California

McFarlane, Karis J., 1979- (2007-08-15)

Belowground carbon (C) storage and quality of soil organic matter (SOM) in forest soils have implications for sustainable forest management and C sequestration, but how these pools change in response to management is p ...
Bending property enhancement of wood strand composite using viscoelastic thermal compression

Rathi, Vardan M. (2009-04-22)

The fundamental intent of the study was to develop an innovative wood-strand composite for use in structural applications. Plantation grown, low density, hybrid poplar was used in the study which was found to be appropri ...
Big huckleberry (Vaccinium membranaceum Dougl.) ecology and forest succession, Mt. Hood National Forest and Warm Springs Indian Reservation, Oregon

Anzinger, Dawn (2002-08-26)

This thesis is an observational study that examines relationships between disturbance, forest stand development, and big huckleberry (Vaccinium membranaceum) fruit productivity and growth by combining ecological methods ...
Biochemical markers of quality in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seedlings : the relationship between survival, root growth potential, freezing and drying damage, and time of lift

Hipkins, Valerie D. (1988-10-28)

The physiological condition of a seedling often determines its ability to survive when planted. However, physiological damage is difficult to determine from external measurement or observation, because a healthy looking ...
Biologic activity in two western Oregon Douglas-fir stands : a research link to management

Hope, Sharon Margaret (1995-08-25)

Information about forest substrate respiration, nitrogenase activity and mineralizable nitrogen may be incorporated into carbon and nitrogen budgets that comprise an important element of forest management planning. In t ...
A biological classification and characterization of structure in managed, mixed-species, multi-aged stands

Singleton, Ryan B. (1999-08-06)

Forest management requires classification of forest stands into groupings or types based on structural similarities, even when structure varies continuously along gradients. Managed, mixed-species, multi-aged forest st ...
The biology and ecology of Potentilla recta in the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon

Tuitele-Lewis, Jamison (2004-09-15)

Two experiments were conducted on the invasive plant species Potentilla recta in northeastern Oregon to investigate both biological and ecological characteristics of the species. Growth analysis was conducted on the pl ...
Biology of the carpenter ants Camponotus vicinus (Mayr) and Camponotus modoc (Wheeler) in western Oregon

Mankowski, Mark E. (2001-12-06)

Pest control operators in Oregon were surveyed to examine the occurrence of carpenter ants and other wood destroying organisms in structures. Carpenter ants frequently occurred in the coast and Willamette valley region ...
Biomass and community structure of sporocarps formed by hypogeous ectomycorrhizal fungi within selected forest habitats of the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon

Luoma, Daniel L. (1988-12-16)

This study characterizes the production of hypogeous sporocarps (broadly referred to as truffles) by ectomycorrhizal fungi within Douglas-fir dominated forests that are considered typical of those found on the west slope ...
Bioprotection of unseasoned Ponderosa pine lumber from microbial discoloration

Kreber, Bernhard (1991-11-08)

The potential of 9 bacterial and 6 fungal isolates to protect wood against wood staining microorganisms was studied using small sapwood samples of unseasoned Ponderosa pine [Pinus ponderosa Laws] sapwood. Bacillus sub ...
Bird communities in commercially thinned and unthinned Douglas-fir stands in western Oregon

Hagar, Joan C. (1992-12-18)

I studied species' abundances and habitat relationships of breeding and winter birds in commercially thinned and unthinned Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stands from May 1989 to June 1991. The study was conducted ...
Bird communities in managed conifer stands in the Oregon Cascades : habitat associations and nest predation

Vega, Robyn M. S. (1993-08-13)

Green-tree retention is being implemented on state and federal lands in Oregon. Silvicultural prescriptions with tree and snag retention are thought to mimic natural disturbance patterns in the Pacific Northwest more ...
