Influences of the duration of periodic sway on the stem form development of four-year-old Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco)

Creator:

Carlton, Ronald Roy

Abstract:

Stem form development of trees in response to wind has been established in the literature to be a response to stem sway induced by the wind. The response is manifested in modifications to height and diameter growth which strengthen the stem against wind stresses. Experiments in the literature show that...

Streamside buffer strips : survival, effectiveness, and design

Creator:

Steinblums, Ivars John

Abstract:

Stream buffer strips are an important tool for protecting the stream environment. This research documents the losses from 40 stream buffer strips, in the Western Cascades of Oregon, established 1 to 15 years before the study. Predictive equations are developed which identify the major reasons for buffer strip losses. Losses...
