Creator:: Krankina, Olga N., Harmon, Mark E., Schnekenburger, Frank, and Sierra, Carlos A.
Abstract:: The management of federal forest lands in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) region changed in early 1990s when the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) was adopted with the primary goal to protect old-growth forest and associated species. A major decline in timber harvest followed, extending an earlier downward trend. The historic and...

Abstract:: We report Monte Carlo simulations of the dynamics of intramolecular contact in alkane chains and in end‐labeled alkane chains. The chain is confined to a diamond lattice except during conformational jumps. Rotational jumps around internal bonds provide the mechanism for change in the end‐to‐end separation but crankshaft‐like motions of the...

Abstract:: The current spruce bark beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis Kirby) epidemic in interior Alaska is leaving large expanses of dead spruce with little spruce regeneration. Many of these areas are habitat for moose (Alces alces). To establish spruce regeneration and improve browse production for moose, paper birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh), willow (Salix...

Abstract:: The effects of precommercial thinning on the understory vegetative cover of 16- to 18-year-old spruce–hemlock (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carrière – Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) stands were studied in seven replicate areas over seven growing seasons postthinning. Vegetative cover was analyzed at the class level, but species-specific effects were examined in...

Abstract:: The influence of fertilization on disease severity is unknown in most forest pathosystems. Fertilization treatments were randomly applied to 0.01 ha plots centered on individual dominant or co-dominant Douglas-fir trees in ten Douglas-fir stands from coastal Oregon to the foothills of the Oregon Cascade Range, USA. This region is affected...

Abstract:: Several hypotheses about the relationships among individual tree growth, tree leaf area, and relative tree size or position were tested with red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) growing in uneven-aged, mixed-species forests of south-central Maine, U.S.A. Based on data from 65 sample trees, predictive models were developed to (i) estimate the...

Abstract:: Reliable estimates of plant biomass and leaf surface area are essential for studying primary production, nutrient cycling, hydrology, wildlife management, and fire. This paper presents equations that can be used to make such estimates for most plant species-trees, shrubs, and herbs-dominant in western and central Oregon.' We also document the...

Abstract:: Distinct aggregations of fungal hyphae and rhizomorphs, or "mats", formed by some genera of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi are common features of soils in coniferous forests of the Pacific Northwest. We measured in situ respiration rates of Piloderma mats and neighboring non-mat soils in an old-growth Douglas-fir forest in western Oregon...

Abstract:: Angiosperm and coniferous tree species utilize a continuum of hydraulic strategies. Hydraulic safety margins (defined as differences between naturally occurring xylem pressures and pressures that would cause hydraulic dysfunction, or differences between pressures resulting in loss of hydraulic function in adjacent organs (e.g., stems vs. leaves) tend to be much...
