Creator:: Miller, James H.
Abstract:: Nutrient losses of the biologically responsive anions, nitrate and bicarbonate together with the major cations, were monitored on 14 small watersheds in Oregon's Coast Range and evaluated in relation to management-induced disturbance. Mixed forests of Douglas-fir and red alder had dominated these high-nitrogen sites prior to treatment. A paired-watershed experimental...

Creator:: Brooks, David J.
Abstract:: Forest Service projections of the long-term supply and demand for forest products indicate that increasing importance will be placed on the supply behavior of nonindustrial private forest owners in the South. The inventory model on which these projections are based may produce biased estimates of southern timber production, however, as...

Creator:: Howard, Theodore E.
Abstract:: Detrimental impacts of estate taxes on management of private nonindustrial forests can be mitigated by estate planning which considers organizational forms of forest businesses and methods for funding estate settlement costs. This study's objective was to determine effects of business form and estate funding method on income and estate tax...

Creator:: Payandeh, Bijan
Abstract:: This study was initiated to determine the relative efficiency of systematic, stratified and simple random sampling for crown area and tree frequency estimation of five of the major forest types found in the Pacific Northwest. Several of the more common methods of estimating spatial distribution coefficients were evaluated. Finally the...

Creator:: Haven, Lisa
Abstract:: Subregional log market differences are defined and analyzed. Seven demand and seven supply centers are initially specified. Log demand factors inspected are mill capacity, processed wood species, cost and profitability conditions distinguished by product and subregion. They are preliminarily linked to a regional market model through product price transmission. An...

Creator:: Dobie, Jas. (James)
Abstract:: The number of sawmills in the coastal lumber-producing area of British Columbia diminished from 364 In 1955 to 162 in 1968. In the interior of the province the reduction in plant numbers was from 2125 to 740. Over the same period lumber production in the province increased from 4.9 billion...

Creator:: Alig, Ralph J.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to develop a system based on economic criteria for projecting changes in land use areas. The total land base was partitioned among three classes of private forest owners and crop, pasture/range, and urban/other uses in the southeastern United States. The fraction of the land...

Creator:: Barber, Richard L.
Abstract:: Harvest scheduling and stand level optimization have generally been regarded as separable problems. Some studies have attempted to jointly optimize a wide range of stand treatments and a forest wide harvest schedule using combinations of mathematical programming techniques. The mathematical programming forest level techniques presume perfect information on production, costs...

Creator:: Paredes-Veloso, Gonzalo L.
Abstract:: An analysis of the economics of multiple use forest planning is presented. At the forest level itself it is demonstrated the use of duality information provided by linear programming to price nonmarket commodities allocations and to establish an accounting system in multiple use forest management. The use of post-optimal activity...
