A review of the present methods of measuring stand density and a presentation of new research on the application of Crown Competition Factor to Douglas-fir

Creator:: Hicks, Thomas Harney
Abstract:: It is the purpose of this paper to explore the possible application of this relatively new method to second-growth Douglas-fir stands.
Resource Type:: Capstone Project

First year survival and growth of planting stock of various size on adverse sites

Creator:: Chetock, Jerome J.
Abstract:: First year survival of Douglas-fir seedlings outplanted in areas characterized by intense vegetative competition is heavily dependent on available soil moisture. To test this hypothesis, five distinct classes of Douglas-fir planting stock were planted on the south slope of McCulloch Peak in McDonald Forest in February of 1975. The stocking...

Effects of different yield functions and initial inventory on harvest schedules for Douglas-fir

Creator:: Vomocil, Marc Grayson
Abstract:: The procedure of forest level harvest scheduling incorporates many inputs of an uncertain nature. Forest management planners must be aware of the possible effects of the use of erroneous input information on the results of their planning. With that knowledge they can better plan a risk management strategy and make...

The effect of preconditioning light intensity on photosynthesis of seedlings of two ecotypes of Douglas-fir

Creator:: Hellinga, Gerald Alan
Abstract:: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb. ) Franco) seedlings of a high elevation Rocky Mountain source and a low elevation coastal source were pretreated under both high and low intensity artificial light in a growth chamber and outside in a cold frame. Net photosynthesis was then measured at three ages, 6, 10,...

Comparative development of a thinned and a natural Douglas-fir stand from 45 to 60 years of age

Creator:: Groman, William A.
Abstract:: An understanding of the dynamics of individual tree and stand growth, development, and structural patterns during the immature formative years of a commercial species is essential to determine correct thinning practices necessary to attain desired objectives. This study compared a natural, medium-site Douglas-fir stand and an adjacent similar stand released...

Geographical variation in apparent net photo-synthesis of Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir, Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca

Creator:: Pope, Walter William
Abstract:: Rates of apparent net photosynthesis were measured on a sample of Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir consisting of eleven one-year-old seedlings from each of the thirteen different seed sources. Secondary observations of needle length, needle weight, and needle number were also obtained. A formula derived through step-wise multiple regression of the secondary...

The effect of osmotic moisture stress during germination on Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)

Creator:: Stewart, Ronald E
Abstract:: Commercially collected Douglas-fir seed from a moist coastal ecotype (LaPush, Washington) and a dry inland ecotype (Kaibab National Forest, Arizona) were subjected to osmotic stresses ranging from 0 to -8 atmospheres using Carbowax polyethylene glycol 6000 during imbibition and germination. To determine the effect of osmotic stress on the initiation...

Effects of herbaceous weed control on young Douglas-fir moisture stress and growth

Creator:: Preest, David Stanley
Abstract:: Profitable, even-aged forest management depends on the early establishment and rapid growth of each new forest crop. These, in turn, require that the young trees have access to an adequate supply of native resources of moisture, nutrients and light. In Mediterranean-type climates, competition for soil moisture is the most serious...

Nutrient cycling under 450-year-old Douglas-fir stands

Creator:: Abee, Albert
Abstract:: To investigate the movement of elements (N, P, k, Ca, and Mg) from the tree crowns by natural litterfall and leave wash, plots were established on six 450 year-old growth stands at the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest. The following are the results of the data analyses. Elemental concentrations contained...

Indole-3-acetic acid in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (mirb.) Franco) : a definitive analysis of gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

Creator:: DeYoe, David R.
Abstract:: Definitive evidence for the occurrence and seasonal variation of indole-3 -acetic acid (IAA) in shoots 0 DougLas-fir (Pseudotsuga rrienztesii (Mirb. ) Franco) was sought. Collections obtained in December and June were extracted by solvent using methanol arid diethyl ether arid by certtrtfugatiori. Extraction by ceritrifugation appeared to be twice as...
