An analysis of technical efficiency and productivity growth in the Pacific Northwest sawmill industry

Helvoigt, Ted (2006-07-24)

The objective of this project was to investigate technical efficiency and productivity growth in the Pacific Northwest sawmilling industry over the period 1968-2002. Productivity growth was decomposed into three componen ...
Carbon flux patterns on U.S. public timberlands under alternative timber harvest policies

Shanks, Alyssa (2008-03-20)

This study considers trade-offs between timber harvest and carbon sequestration on National Forest and other public lands by contemporaneously linking a model of public harvest and inventory to a carbon accounting syst ...
A comparison of the value of forest plans developed under three levels of detail regarding management intentions

Hirte, Sarah Rebecca (2002-09-13)

In the field of forest planning, assumptions regarding the appropriate modeling of management behavior, translated through management prescriptions, minimum harvest ages, green-up periods, and other variables are needed ...
Converting forest biomass to energy in Oregon : stakeholder perspectives on a growing movement

Stidham, Melanie (2008-01-16)

Within Oregon there is considerable interest in the possibility of converting woody biomass to energy. This interest stems from three converging factors: the desire to reduce the threat of uncharacteristic wildfire by r ...
An evaluation of two timber supply models for state assessments

Sutfin, Thomas William (1985-08)
Forest acreage trends in the Southeast : econometric analysis and policy simulations

Alig, Ralph J. (1984-05-21)

The objective of this study was to develop a system based on economic criteria for projecting changes in land use areas. The total land base was partitioned among three classes of private forest owners and crop, pastu ...
An investigation of the influence of root reinforcements on soil strength and the initiation of static liquefaction in forest soils

Smith, Russell S. (2001-11-12)

A study was conducted to investigate the influence of root reinforcements on soil strength and the initiation of static liquefaction in forest soils. The design and operation was developed of an apparatus capable of mo ...
Optimal timber harvesting in uneven-aged forest stands : a discrete-time optimal-control approach

Haight, Robert G. (1985-08-18)

The purpose of this dissertation is to formulate, analyze and numerically solve the dynamic harvesting problem for uneven-aged stands. The problem is to find the optimal numbers of trees to remove from diameter classe ...
Patterns of crown damage within a large wildfire in the Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion

Thompson, Jonathan R. (2008-07-21)

The 2002 Biscuit Fire burned through more than 200,000 ha of mixed conifer/ evergreen hardwood forests in southwestern Oregon and northwestern California. The remarkable size of the fire and the diversity of conditions ...
Tradeoffs associated with managing forested landscapes for multiple-uses

Lichtenstein, Mark E. (2001-06-05)

This study focuses on the tradeoffs that exist for managing forested landscapes for biodiversity and timber production. Tradeoff evaluation is important to natural resource managers so they can understand the benefits an ...
Wood properties and use of sensor technology to improve optimal bucking and value recovery of Douglas-fir

Acuna, Mauricio A. (2006-04-10)

There are a number of wood properties which affect the quality of forest products such as lumber and pulp. Of these, wood density is considered by some to be the single most important physical characteristic because it i ...
