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 ...

The objective of this study was to determine how the balance of carbon to nitrogen in a grand fir ecosystem affects the chemistry of emerging grand fir foliage and the growth of western spruce budworm larvae. Forest p ...

In the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon, prescribed fire and mechanical harvesting economics were investigated for fuels reduction and forest restoration. Using a cut-to-length harvesting system, three single-grip h ...

The timber shortage in the Pacific Northwest is forcing sawmill owners to improve the competitiveness of their harvesting and processing operations. A computer simulation and financial statement analysis were used to ...
