Private forests-public resources : policy and landscape on the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Langridge, Ruth
Abstract:: The forests of the Oregon Coast Range have been both the principal natural resource, and for many years, the primary economic base of the region. In the past thirty years, changing social and economic factors have created new visions for these forests, leading to conflict over the appropriate management of...

Evaluation, reformulation, and application of the Vroom-Yetton model to select public involvement methods for the McDonald-Dunn Research Forest near Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Deagen, Debbie
Abstract:: Western society's ongoing cultural shift toward quality of life values and associated increased public participation expectations affects forest managers. The rapid urban growth experienced by the U.S. is increasing both the area of the urban-forest interface zone and the number of residents residing in that zone. The study site of...

Interactions between near-urban forest management and recreation : a pre- and post-harvest survey

Creator:: Balfour, Richard C. D.
Abstract:: Forest management has been influenced by many social and political changes, and one of the most prominent is the increasing urbanization of neighboring lands. As a result, forests once relatively far removed from urban areas now share boundaries with residential developments, and receive increasing pressure to provide recreation and other...

Heuristic solution techniques for a spatial harvest scheduling problem involving wildlife habitat and timber income

Creator:: Sharer, Brian K.
Abstract:: Three heuristic techniques: simulated annealing (SA), tabu search (TS), and tabu search with strategic oscillation (TSSO), were used to schedule silvicultural activities designed to accelerate development of older forest structure at both stand and landscape scales over a 2450 acre forest located in northwestern Oregon. Goals for the forest over...

A biological classification and characterization of structure in managed, mixed-species, multi-aged stands

Creator:: Singleton, Ryan B.
Abstract:: Forest management requires classification of forest stands into groupings or types based on structural similarities, even when structure varies continuously along gradients. Managed, mixed-species, multi-aged forest stands often display complex structures containing extreme variation in trees size, density, and species composition, and as a result have diverse canopy structures. A...

Stand level prescription generation under multiple objectives

Creator:: Wedin, Heidi L.
Abstract:: A stand level model, PREscription generator under Multiple Objectives (PREMO) was built to generate prescriptions that address multiple objectives for management of the forests of the Applegate River Watershed. PREMO is a part of the landscape model of the Applegate River Watershed Forest Simulation Project and generates prescription choices for...

Applying random utility modeling to recreational fishing in Oregon : effects of forest management alternatives on steelhead production in the Elk River watershed

Creator:: Alexander, Susan J.
Abstract:: A random utility model of trip demand for steelhead fishing is constructed by using a logit regression technique and data from the 1990 Oregon Angler Survey, conducted by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. The model is formulated to estimate demand when only the regional destination is known. Results...

Spatial analysis techniques for ensuring the compatibility of land management activities and aquatic habitat quality in eastern Oregon

Creator:: Bettinger, Pete, 1962-
Abstract:: A land management scheduling model is developed that uses a Tabu search procedure to schedule timber harvests and road management activities, while simultaneously meeting (over time and space) two aquatic goals, and also providing for an even-flow of timber harvest volume. Decision variables include land units and roads, and they...

An economic assessment of western Oregon's private forests with streamside management restrictions

Creator:: Schillinger, Randall R.
Abstract:: Management restrictions are simulated on streamside acres owned by private interests in western Oregon to assess forest inventory and log market implications. A dynamic, nonlinear optimization model of western Oregon's softwood log market simulates the resource and economic impacts of set-aside and minimum harvest age restrictions on forest acreage within...

The capability of a GIS to contribute to the social assessment of forest communities : a case study of the Central Cascades Adaptive Management Area

Creator:: Burke, Tenley Boehm
Abstract:: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become an essential tool for evaluation and monitoring the biophysical data of natural landscapes. This study addresses the potential for using GIS in the social assessment of human landscapes that are associated with geographic regions of interest. Using the communities surrounding Oregon's federally designated Central...
