Intensifying a heuristic forest harvest scheduling search procedure with 2-opt decision choices

Creator:: Bettinger, Pete, 1962-, Boston, Kevin, and Sessions, John
Abstract:: Forest management problems with even-flow and adjacency considerations are difficult to solve optimally. A heuristic search intensification process, which uses two types of decision procedures, changes to single-decision choices (1-opt moves) and changes to two-decision choices simultaneously (2-opt moves), was used in an attempt to locate feasible and efficient solutions...

Prediction of understory vegetation cover with airborne lidar in an interior ponderosa pine forest

Creator:: Wing, Brian M., Ritchie, Martin W., Boston, Kevin, Cohen, Warren B., Gitelman, Alix, and Olsen, Michael J.
Abstract:: Forest understory communities are important components in forest ecosystems providing wildlife habitat and influencing nutrient cycling, fuel loadings, fire behavior and tree species composition over time. One of the most widely utilized understory component metrics is understory vegetation cover, often used as a measure of vegetation abundance. To date, understory...

An Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System for Rock Share Estimation in Forest Road Construction

Creator:: Ghajar, Ismael, Najafi, Akbar, Torabi, Seyed Ali, Khamehchiyan, Mashalah, and Boston, Kevin
Abstract:: This paper presents a new Rock Share Estimation (RSE) procedure that can estimate the cost of forest road construction. One of the key elements of the total cost in road construction is the cost of embankment. The proportion of the rock directly influences the price of this activity. Hence, a...

A catchment-scale assessment of stream temperature response to contemporary forest harvesting in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Kevin Bladon, Nicholas Cook, Jeffery Light, and Catalina Segura
Abstract:: Historical forest harvesting practices were reviewed in the original Alsea Watershed Study where they found increased energy loading to the stream and produced higher stream temperatures. This was an important early research site that led to the development of contemporary forest management practices to protect water quality and fish habitat...

Discharge and suspended sediment a paired watershed study examining the effects of contemporary forest harvesting in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Hatten, Jeff, Segura, Catalina, Bladon, Kevin, Hale, Cody, Ice, George, and Stednick, John
Abstract:: Forest harvesting practices can expose mineral soils, decrease infiltration capacities of soils, disturb the stream bank and channel, and increase erosion and fine sediment supply to stream channels. To reduce nonpoint source sediment pollution associated with forest management activities and to maintain the high water quality typically provided from forests,...

Long-term effects of forest harvesting on summer low flow deficiets in the Coast Range of Oregon

Creator:: Segura, Catalina, Bladon, Kevin, Hatten, Jeff, Jones, Julia A., Hale, Cody, Ice, George, and Souder, Jon
Abstract:: We examined long-term changes in daily streamflow associated with forestry practices with two datasets (this one and the original Alsea Streamflow dataset (1972) over a 60-year period (1959–2017) in the Alsea Watershed Study, Oregon Coast Range, Pacific Northwest, USA. In this contemporary period, 2006 to 2017 (12 water years), data...

Cross-regional prediction of long-term trajectory of stream water DOC response to climate change

Creator:: Laudon, Hjalmar, Buttle, Jim, Carey, Sean K., McDonnell, Jeff, McGuire, Kevin, Seibert, Jan, Shanley, Jamie, Soulsby, Chris, and Tetzlaff, Doerthe
Abstract:: There is no scientific consensus about how dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in surface waters is regulated. Here we combine recent literature data from 49 catchments with detailed stream and catchment process information from nine well established research catchments at mid- to high latitudes to examine the question of how climate...
