Agriculture and wildlife : an economic analysis of waterfowl habitat management on farms in western Oregon

Creator:: Rasker, Ray
Abstract:: This study is a policy analysis of the incentives, including fee hunting, as a means to promote wildlife habitat development on private agricultural land. The management of habitat for migratory waterfowl in Western Oregon was investigated as a case study. Three separate analysis techniques were employed, presented as independent manuscripts....

Value, volume, and jobs : a comprehensive assessment of wood fiber and residue utilization within Oregon: 1992

Creator:: Ross, Janet R.
Abstract:: Oregon's forest product industry continues to be the nation's number one producer of wood products. The forest products industry contributes significantly to Oregon's economy. Changes in timber supply, land use policy, technology, and product demand create significant impacts on the region. The activities of the wood products industry translate into...

Measuring costs of sequestering carbon in forest stands with different management regimes in western Oregon

Creator:: Zyrina, Olga A.
Abstract:: This project was a part of larger work that compared major factors controlling patterns of carbon dynamics in two regions of the globe, the Pacific Northwest, USA and northwestern Russia. It was funded through the NASA foundation (grant # NAG5- 6242). Human economic activity is causing the release of pollutants...

Full Text:: Oregon Coast Range was conducted to evaluate the economic impact of proposed Oregon forest practices

An analysis of the motivations of Oregon's ranchers to diversify into agritourism

Creator:: Pegas, Fernanda de Vasconcellos
Abstract:: Agritourism is one way to sustainably conserve open space. Its potential to supplement Oregon ranchers’ income may also preserve ranching culture. Research on agritourism in Oregon and elsewhere, however, is scarce. This study focused on the motivations of Oregon ranchers to diversify into agritourism, the congruence of conservation easements and...

The economics of carbon sequestration in western Oregon forests

Creator:: Im, Eun Ho
Abstract:: This study considered regional forest policies for sequestering carbon in existing forests in western Oregon. A model of log markets in western Oregon was employed to examine the impacts of forest policy changes on future carbon stock, harvests, and management activities. A carbon tax program, as a mitigation option for...

The value of forested landscapes for adjacent residents of an urban forest

Creator:: Kimura, Takashi, 1956-
Abstract:: Forested landscapes displaying evidence of timber harvesting have often induced conflicts between forest managers and the public. Potential conflicts with neighboring homeowners also has been increasing because of growing environmental concern and increasing numbers of neighbors. Analysis of previous studies suggests that people's reaction toward forested landscapes will be different...

Measuring the economic impact of forests on neighboring properties

Creator:: Kim, Yeon-Su
Abstract:: This thesis investigated the contribution of the forest to neighboring property prices and explored the possible impacts from different neighboring forest characteristics with the hedonic property price model. The quadratic Box-Cox model was applied to choose the proper functional form. The square root model was chosen to be the interpretable...

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...

Yield and financial analysis of "New forestry" techniques on the McDonald and Dunn Forests

Creator:: Bartlett, David M.
Abstract:: In the Pacific Northwest, a transition has begun that is shifting many practices in forest management. Traditionally, harvesting and regeneration has been done through clearcutting which removes all trees in the area being cut and plants an entirely new stand. Clearcutting is often the most efficient method for harvesting forests...

Current and future economic impact of Mount Hood National Forest outdoor recreation consumption

Creator:: Anderson, David M. (David Matthew), 1964-
Abstract:: Mount Hood National Forest provides opportunities for many forms of outdoor recreation. Recreationists spend money to pursue outdoor activities on public lands such as national forests and national parks. The purpose of this study was to measure the economic contribution of national forest visitor expenditures on the local economy of...
