Young stand thinning in Western Oregon : cost comparison of harvesting alternatives and comparison of time study techniques

Creator:

Hossain, Mohammad Mozaffar

Abstract:

Harvesting costs were determined for commercial thinning of young stands to achieve vegetation and wildlife objectives. This included replicated comparisons of thinning treatments. Treatments were defined based on residual tree stocking after thinning. Study procedures were developed and evaluated to improve statistical relevance. Multiple linear regression models were used to...

A simulation of the comparative costs and benefits of skyline strip thinning

Creator:

LeDoux, Chris B.

Abstract:

Strip thinning is recognized as a way of commercial thinning young-growth stands. strip thinning has been used worldwide. The purpose of this study was to explicitly evaluate the costs and benefits associated with skyline strip thinning in young Douglas-fir (Pseudotuqo menzesii Franco) stands in the Pacific Northwest and to compare...

Thinning with prescribed fire and timber harvesting mechanization for fuels reduction and forest restoration

Creator:

Matzka, Peter J.

Abstract:

In the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon, prescribed fire and mechanical harvesting economics were investigated for fuels reduction and forest restoration. Using a cut-to-length harvesting system, three single-grip harvesters and three forwarders produced significantly different production rates. For the harvesters, significant variables that affected production rates were found to be:...
