The roles of nearest neighbor methods in imputing missing data in forest inventory and monitoring databases

Creator:: Eskelson, Bianca N.I., Temesgen, Hailemariam, Lemay, Valerie, Barrett, Tara M., Crookston, Nicholas L., and Hudak, Andrew T.
Abstract:: Almost universally, forest inventory and monitoring databases are incomplete, ranging from missing data for only a few records and a few variables, common for small land areas, to missing data for many observations and many variables, common for large land areas. For a wide variety of applications, nearest neighbor (NN)...

Thinning effects on forest productivity: Consequences of preserving old forests and mitigating impacts of fire and drought

Creator:: Law, Beverly E., Hudiburg, Tara W., and Luyssaert, Sebastiaan
Abstract:: Background: Management strategies have been proposed to minimise the effects of climate change on forest resilience. Aims: We investigated the Pacific Northwest US region forest carbon balance under current practices, and changes that may result from management practices proposed for the region’s 34 million ha of forests to mitigate climate...

Sequestrate fungi of New Zealand: Elaphomyces (Ascomycota, Eurotiales, Elaphomycetaceae)

Creator:: Castellano, Michael A., Beever, Ross E., and Trappe, James M.
Abstract:: Four species of the sequestrate fungal genus Elaphomyces are reported from New Zealand: Elaphomyces bollardii sp. nov. associated with Leptospermum spp. and Kunzea ericoides, E. luteicrustus sp. nov. associated with Nothofagus menziesii, E. putridus sp. nov. associated with Nothofagus spp., and an unnamed species associated with Nothofagus spp.

Implementation of Plan Irregularity Rapid Visual Screening Tool for Wood-Frame, Single-Family Dwellings

Creator:: Lucksiri, K., Miller, T. H., Gupta, R., Pei, S., and van de Lindt, J. W.
Abstract:: A plan irregularity rapid visual screening method for seismic performance assessment of wood-frame, single-family dwellings is presented. Results from 124 samples were compared with (i) building-specific, non-linear time-history analysis, and (ii) FEMA 154 and ASCE 31 Tier 1. Verification using two houses damaged in the 1994 Northridge Earthquake is presented....

Activity Substitutability and Degree of Specialization among Deer and Elk Hunters in Multiple States

Creator:: Needham, Mark D. and Vaske, Jerry J.
Abstract:: This article examines relationships between hunter specialization and activity substitutability. Data were obtained from a mail survey of 6,983 deer hunters in eight states and 2,584 elk hunters in three states. Activity substitutability was measured by asking what activity would provide the same satisfaction as deer or elk hunting. Between...

Amenity landownership, land use change and the re-creation of “working landscapes”

Creator:: Abrams, Jesse and Bliss, John
Abstract:: In recent years the “working landscape” concept has risen to prominence in popular, academic, and policy discourse surrounding conservation of both natural and cultural values in inhabited landscapes. Despite its implied reconciliation of commodity production and environmental protection, this concept remains contested terrain, masking tensions over land use practices and...

An experimental method for three-dimensional dynamic contact angle analysis

Creator:: Baptista, Diogo, Muszynski, Lech, Gardner, Douglas J., and Atzema, Eisso
Abstract:: Droplet dynamics analysis concerns the measurements of droplet volume, cap and base areas and contact angles, as they change in time to study evaporation, wettability, adhesion and other surface phenomena and properties. In a typical procedure, the two-dimensional measurements are based on a series of images recorded at successive stages...

Douglas-fir soil C and N properties a decade after termination of urea fertilization

Creator:: Homann, Peter S., Caldwell, Bruce A., Chappell, H. N., Sollins, Phillip, and Swanston, Chris W.
Abstract:: Chemical and microbial soil properties were assessed in paired unfertilized and urea fertilized (>89 g N·m–2) plots in 13 second-growth Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) stands distributed throughout western Washington and Oregon. A decade following the termination of fertilization, fertilized plots averaged 28% higher total N in the O layer...

Financial feasibility of marker-aided selection in Douglas-fir

Creator:: Johnson, G. R., Wheeler, N. C., and Strauss, S. H.
Abstract:: The land area required for a marker-aided selection (MAS) program to break-even (i.e., have equal costs and benefits) was estimated using computer simulation for coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) in the Pacific Northwestern United States. We compared the selection efficiency obtained when using an index that included the phenotype...

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...
