Abstract:: The quality of lumber and veneer recovered from logs of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) is directly influenced by the maximum limb size attained on the crop tree. Because limb sizes are influenced by standdensity regimes, a need has arisen for quantitative tools that link a wide array of silvicultural...

Abstract:: A commercially available, three-dimensional finite-element analysis software was used to model the load-displacement behavior of metal-plate-connected (MPC) joints in wooden trusses. Model features included consideration of material properties, teeth-to-grain-to-direction-of-force orientation, wood-to-wood interaction, and gaps between wood members. To simulate wood-to-plate interaction, the main feature of the model, each tooth of...

Abstract:: Dynamics of dead wood, a key component of forest structure, are not well described for mixed-severity fire regimes with widely varying fire intervals. A prominent form of such variation is when two stand-replacing fires occur in rapid succession, commonly termed an early-seral “reburn.” These events are thought to strongly influence...

Abstract:: Euro-American settlement and organized fire suppression have been associated with structural and compositional changes in many upland forests of the western United States, but little is known about the impacts on riparian forests, portions of the landscape protected for habitat and water quality. In this study, we used dendro-ecological methods...

Abstract:: Fire-history reconstructions are based on tree-ring records that span the last few centuries and charcoal data from lake-sediment cores that extend back several thousand years. The two approaches have unique strengths and weaknesses in their ability to depict past fire events and fire regimes, and most comparisons of these datasets...

Abstract:: We examined the spatial distribution of crime incidents on USDA Forest Service lands using a geographic information system and several spatial analysis techniques. Our primary objective was to examine whether patterns existed in the spatial distribution of crime and to explore the relationship of patterns to other geographic features using...
