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...

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...

Historical disturbance regimes as a reference for forest policy

Creator:: Thompson, Jonathan R.
Abstract:: Using the historical range of forest conditions as a reference for managing landscapes has been proposed as a "coarse-filter" approach to biodiversity conservation. By emulating historical disturbance processes, it is thought that forest management can produce forest composition and structure similar to the conditions that once supported the native biota....

Comparison of timber tax options available to western Oregon small nonindustrial private forest land owners

Creator:: Cannon, T. Lincoln
Abstract:: Most forests and timber in Western Oregon are taxed under the Western Oregon Forest Land and Severance Tax (WOST), a system which is accepted as one that promotes "correct" economic rotation lengths. This study was motivated by the observation that an optional tax with the same stated purpose - the...

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...

Temporal and spatial variability of historic fire frequency in the southern Willamette Valley foothills of Oregon

Creator:: Robbins, Danielle
Abstract:: A crossdated fire history was reconstructed for a 1562 km2 area in the southern Willamette foothills of Oregon, using fire scars and tree origin years from twelve sites. The purpose of this study was to determine fire frequency for each site and to quantify temporal and spatial variability of fire...

Analyzing fire mosaics in temperate coniferous forests with GIS and remote sensing

Creator:: Kushla, John D.
Abstract:: This investigation on fire mosaics addressed several aspects: (1) quantifying the role of terrain variables in fire-related mortality and historical mean fire return interval (MFRI), (2) comparing post-burn Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery, TM difference imagery, and aerial photo interpretation to map forest survival after wildfire, and (3) to describe...

Tradeoffs associated with managing forested landscapes for multiple-uses

Creator:: Lichtenstein, Mark E.
Abstract:: This study focuses on the tradeoffs that exist for managing forested landscapes for biodiversity and timber production. Tradeoff evaluation is important to natural resource managers so they can understand the benefits and costs of alternative management prescriptions. The study examines three watersheds in the Oregon Coast Range and 166 terrestrial...

Conifer regeneration, understory vegetation and artificially topped conifer responses to alternative silvicultural treatments

Creator:: Huff, Tristan
Abstract:: Historically, between 40-60% of the Coast Range of Oregon was comprised of structurally diverse, old forests initiated by disturbances of various spatial scales ranging from thousands of acres (large fires) to the size of a single tree (windthrow). The predominant regeneration method of the past several decades, however, has been...
