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...

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...

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,...

Reduction in carbon uptake during turn of the century drought in western North America

Creator:: Schwalm, Christopher R., Williams, Christopher A., Schaefer, Kevin, Baldocchi, Dennis D., Black, T. Andrew, Goldstein, Allen H., Law, Beverly E., Oechel, Walter C., Paw U, Kyaw Tha, and Scott, Russel L.
Abstract:: Fossil fuel emissions aside, temperate North America is a net sink of carbon dioxide at present¹⁻³. Year-to-year variations in this carbon sink are linked to variations in hydroclimate that affect net ecosystem productivity³,⁴. The severity and incidence of climatic extremes, including drought, have increased as a result of climate warming⁵⁻⁸....

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...

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...

Green Revolution Trees: Semidwarfism Transgenes Modify Gibberellins, Promote Root Growth, Enhance Morphological Diversity, and Reduce Competitiveness in Hybrid Poplar

Creator:: Elias, Ani A., Busov, Victor B., Kosola, Kevin R., Ma, Cathleen, Etherington, Elizabeth, Shevchenko, Olga, Gandhi, Harish, Pearce, David W., Rood, Stewart B., and Strauss, Steven H.
Abstract:: Semidwarfism has been used extensively in row crops and horticulture to promote yield, reduce lodging, and improve harvest index, and it might have similar benefits for trees for short-rotation forestry or energy plantations, reclamation, phytoremediation, or other applications. We studied the effects of the dominant semidwarfism transgenes GA Insensitive (GAI)...

Alsea watershed study revisited: unpublished temperature datasets from pre-harvest 2006 to 2010

Creator:: Bladon, Kevin, Cook, Nicholas, Light, Jeffery, Segura, Catalina, Skaugset, Arne, Hale, Cody, Leer, David, Garland, Tina, Simmons, Amy, Irving, Alex, Ice, George G., Danehy, Robert, Bousquet, Terry, Cook, Diana, Napack, Jan, Campbell, David, Louch, Jeff, Stednick, John, and Menk, Matthew
Abstract:: These data contain temperature readings from dataloggers launched in Deer Creek, Flynn Creek, and Needle Branch from 2006 to 2010. These loggers were apart of the Alsea Watershed Revisisted Study Revisited articles, but the data was incomplete due to logging gaps, temperature spikes, or other issues. The "Thermistor Functionality" datasets...
