Asymptotic height-diameter equations for twenty-four tree species in western Oregon

Creator:: Garman, Steven L. (Steven Lee), 1955-, Acker, Steven A., Ohmann, Janet L., Spies, Thomas A. (Thomas Allen), and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Equations for predicting height from diameter outside bark at breast height (DBH) were generated for 24 tree species in western Oregon. The equations were based on the asymptotic Chapman-Richards function. Because geographic location and site productivity may influence height-diameter relationships, height-diameter measures from 8727 plots were first grouped by site...

Poplar chip production for Willamette Valley grass seed sites

Creator:: Withrow-Robinson, Bradford A., Hibbs, David E., Beuter, John H., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: This publication is part of a 1-year project funded by the Oregon Department of Agriculture, Alternatives to Field Burning Program. Crop substitution is one strategy for reducing smoke from field burning. The objective of the project was to evaluate the potential for hybrid poplar as an alternative crop for poorly...

Survival and growth of Douglas-fir seed sources in the Hospital Tract rangewide source archive plantation

Creator:: Gamble, William E., Adams, W. T., Tappeiner, J. C. (John C.), and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: "In 1954, Dr. Helge Irgens-Moller initiated a rangewide collection of seed and seedlings of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco). Nearly 700 trees or stands were sampled in 10 western states, Canada, and Mexico. From 1957 to 1971, 639 of these collections were planted in the Hospital Tract Rangewide Source Archive...

Regenerating coastal forests in Oregon : an annotated bibliography of selected ecological literature

Creator:: Loucks, Donna M., Knowe, Steven A. (Steven Alan), 1954-, Shainsky, Lauri J., Pancheco, Alex A., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: This annotated bibliography was compiled to provide a comprehensive list of sources on the ecological factors that affect forest regeneration. Abstracts from 494 publications are indexed by author, species, and subject, and are arranged into 4 major sections. Topics include the effects of biotic factors, abiotic factors, and stand and...

Wood pole maintenance manual

Creator:: Morrell, Jeffrey J. and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: The specification, inspection, and remedial treatment of utility poles are addressed. Included are discussions of enhancing specifications for improved performance, techniques for detecting decay and other defects, and chemical treatments available for arresting decay of poles in service.

Logging planning and layout costs for thinning : experience from the Willamette Young Stand Project

Creator:: Kellogg, L. D. (Loren D.), Milota, Ginger, Stringham, Bennett, and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Logging planning and layout costs were examined for commercial thinning of 40- to 50-yr-old stands of Douglas-fir on the Willamette National Forest in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon. The study consisted of four replications of three silvicultural treatments. Thinning involved three types of logging systems: mechanized cut-to-length (a combination of...

Skyline thinning production and costs : experience from the Willamette Young Stand Project

Creator:: Kellogg, L. D. (Loren D.), Miller, Mark E., Olsen, Eldon D., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Production rates and costs for skyline harvesting were examined over a range of residual thinning intensities, operational methods, and sites. The sites included three stands of 40- to 50-yr-old Douglas-fir on the Willamette National Forest in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon. Three silvicultural treatments were studied at two sites, and...

Natural durability of wood : a worldwide checklist of species

Creator:: Scheffer, T. C., Morrell, Jeffrey J., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Naturally durable woods have a variety of commercial uses. Natural resistance to decay has been evaluated in field and laboratory tests of wood from many species, but there are few places where commercial wood users can find comparative assessments of natural durability. In this report, previous studies have been used...

Silviculture practices for riparian forests in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Emmingham, William H., Chan, Samuel S., Mikowski, Dan, Owston, Peyton W., Bishaw, Badege, and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: This publication is aimed at watershed councils, government agencies, and specialists (foresters, wildlife and fisheries biologists) interested in riparian area silviculture or watershed restoration. It contains information on the ecology of riparian forests and a checklist of recommended practices and common mistakes made in restoring conifers to hardwood-dominated riparian forests....
