Reducing Crime and Violence on Public Lands: Case Studies in the USDA Forest Service

Creator:: Chavez, Deborah J., Tynon, Joanne F., and Knap, Nancy E.
Abstract:: Studies on types and impacts of crime have indicated that crime and violent acts do occur on public lands and have negative consequences for managers of those lands and recreation visitors. It is important, then, to evaluate how to reduce or eliminate crime and violent acts on public lands. To...

Copper, chromium, and arsenic levels in soils surrounding posts treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA)

Creator:: Morrell, Jeffrey J. and Huffman, Jacob
Abstract:: The levels of copper, chromium, and arsenic in soil surrounding CCA-treated posts and beneath CCA-treated stakes were investigated at a plot near Gainesville, Florida. Metal levels were elevated in soil immediately adjacent to the treated wood, but decreased with distance away or depth. Mean extractable arsenic levels ranged from 1.74...

Ability of bleach and other biocide treatments to remove and prevent mold growth on Douglas-fir lumber

Creator:: Taylor, Adam M., Freitag, Camille M., and Morrell, Jeffrey J., 1955-
Abstract:: Molds are an increasingly important issue for all building materials, including wood. While washing with bleach is a commonly recommended method for removing molds, and the associated discolorations, there is surprisingly little information on the effectiveness of this treatment. The ability of mold removal treatments to brighten wood and eliminate...

Effect of floods of different magnitude on the macroinvertebrate communities of Matarranya stream (Ebro river basin, NE Spain)

Creator:: Argerich, A., Puig, M. A., and Pupilli, E.
Abstract:: In October 2000, the Matarranya River suffered an extraordinary flood with a measured flow rate of approximately 450 m³/s in the town of Vall-de-roures and a return period of about 500 years, according to the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of the...

An annotated bibliography of selected guides for stream habitat improvement in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Keim, Richard F., Price, A. Blake, Hardin, Timothy Stone, Skaugset, Arne E., Bateman, Douglas S., Gresswell, Robert E., Tesch, S. D., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: This annotated bibliography is a response to widespread interest in stream habitat improvement in the Pacific Northwest by land managers, governmental and nongovernmental organizations, and the lay public. Several guides to stream habitat improvement have been written in the past, but may not be easily accessible to people from diverse...

Practical methodology for operational layout of commercial skyline thinning systems

Creator:: Cornell, Jennie L., Kellogg, L. D. (Loren D.), and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: On-the-ground harvest unit layout, especially in skyline-thinning operations, is critical to meeting multiple resource objectives of the land manager and maintaining the economic viability of the timber harvesting operator. This phase of an operation can optimize the layout and harvesting of a sale or unit. Detailed layout by a knowledgeable...

Production and costs of cut-to-length thinning : experience from the Willamette Young Stand Project

Creator:: Kellogg, L. D. (Loren D.), Spong, Ben, and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Young Douglas-fir stands were commercially thinned to achieve vegetation- and wildlife-related objectives. Harvesting and forwarding production and costs were compared among three mechanized thinning treatments: light thin [(115 residual trees per acre (tpa)], light thin with 0.5-ac openings (92 residual tpa), and heavy thin (53 residual tpa). The sites were...

Landscape Management Policy Simulator (LAMPS) : version 1.1 : user guide

Creator:: Bettinger, Pete, 1962-, Lennette, Marie, and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: The LAndscape Management Policy Simulator (LAMPS) model, version 1.1, is a spatial simulation model developed to provide forest landscape planning simulations for the Coastal Landscape Analysis and Modeling Study (CLAMS). It is designed to help policymakers, managers, and planners think through alternative management scenarios and their potential effects on the...

Influence of species proportion and timing of establishment on stem quality in mixed red alder – Douglas-fir plantations

Creator:: Grotta, Amy T., Gartner, Barbara L., and Radosevich, Steven R.
Abstract:: The relationships among stand structure, Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) branch characteristics, and red alder (Alnus rubra (Bong.)) stem form attributes were explored for 10- to 15-year-old trees growing in mixed Douglas-fir – red alder plantations. Treatments included a range of species proportions, and red alder was either planted simultaneously...

Wood density of young-growth western hemlock: relation to ring age, radial growth, stand density, and site quality

Creator:: DeBell, Dean S., Singleton, Ryan, Gartner, Barbara L., and Marshall, David D.
Abstract:: Breast-high stem sections were sampled from 56 western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) trees growing in 15 plots representing a wide range of tree and site conditions in northwestern Oregon. Growth and wood density traits of individual rings were measured via X-ray densitometry, and relationships of ring density and its...

Regeneration imputation models for complex stands of southeastern British Columbia

Creator:: Hassani, Badre T., LeMay, Valerie, Marshall, Peter L., Temesgen, Hailemariam, and Zumrawi, Abdel-Azim
Abstract:: Two imputation techniques for predicting natural regeneration in complex stands prevalent in southeastern British Columbia (BC) were compared using data from the Interior Cedar-Hemlock moist warm subzone variant 2 (ICHmw2) in the vicinity of Nelson, BC. Imputation approaches offer advantages over other modeling approaches in that they provide estimates of...
