Comparing structure and development of Douglas-fir old-growth, plantations, and young natural forests in western Oregon

Creator:: Dowling, Christopher D.
Abstract:: Ages, diameter growth, density, tree size, and species were studied in old-growth, plantation, and young natural Douglas-fir stands in three areas in western Oregon: the western and eastern Coast Range and the western Cascades. The purpose was to compare the development of these three stand types and to determine whether...

Assessment of the accuracy of forested classifications within two broad-scale remotely-sensed vegetation databases in eastern Oregon

Creator:: Langhoff, Cory A.
Abstract:: An accuracy assessment of two broad-scale vegetation databases for eastern Oregon, both developed from satellite imagery, was performed to assess the usefulness of the databases for forest landscape planning and assessment efforts. The two databases were the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) vegetation database and the U.S. Geological Survey National...

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...

Forest and wildlife habitat analysis using remote sensing and geographic information systems

Creator:: Fiorella, Maria R.
Abstract:: Forest and wildlife habitat analyses were conducted at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest in the Central Cascade Mountains of Oregon using remotely sensed data and a geographic information system (GIS). Landsat Thematic Mapper(TM) data were used to determine forest successional stages, and to analyze the structure of both old and...

Federal forest revenue-sharing in coastal Oregon : an assessment of historical and future tax equivalence

Creator:: Powell, Leslie A. (Leslie Ann)
Abstract:: Public land ownership withdraws property from the tax base of local property tax districts. Publicly-managed lands occupy approximately 17.5 million acres of forested lands in Oregon (inclusive of federal, state, and county ownership). To compensate local taxing districts for foregone property tax collections, Congress enacted a series of federal revenue-sharing...

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...

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...

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...

The Forest Field Program : a case study in forest education for Latino youth

Creator:: Gonzalez, Emily A.
Abstract:: This study involved the development of two bilingual and inquiry-based forest education programs within the Central Willamette Valley of Oregon. The first program used the participatory research (PR) process to engage 7th and 8th grade Latino students as participatory researchers to interview members of their community to learn their perspectives...

The presence and characterization of measurement error in forestry

Creator:: Canavan, Sean Joseph
Abstract:: Measurement error (ME) is a component of any study involving the use of actual measurements, but is often not recognized or is ignored. The consequences of MEs on estimates of tree and stand attributes and the parameters and predictions of forest models can be varied and severe, including the presence...
