Sun Ranch carbon sequestration case study

Creator:: Oregon State University
Abstract:: The Sun Ranch, located in the Upper Madison Valley, served as the pilot project for the Chicago Climate Exchange’s (CCX) Rangeland Soil Carbon Sequestration Offset Program, launched in 2007. The protocol for the new offset program was developed by a CCX Technical Review Team in consultation with former Sun Ranch...

Forestry herbicide use on private forest lands in Lincoln and Benton County Oregon, 1991-1994

Creator:: Godino, John Alessandro
Abstract:: The use of phenoxy herbicides is an established practice in industrial forestry, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. Forestry herbicide use in this region has often been controversial. To better understand the spatial patterns of herbicide use and the potential for human health and environmental impacts, a landscape level perspective is...

Patterns of chronic wind mortality in a small, old-growth Pseudotsuga menziesii forest in the western Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Littlefield, Sam, 1980-
Abstract:: Windthrow has been studied extensively as a cause of mortality and as a landscape disturbance agent in temperate forests throughout the United States. The effects of windthrow mortality on stand species composition and structure, forest regeneration and seral development have been well described at the site (e.g. single gap) and...

Spatial and temporal patterns of windthrow in the Bull Run Watershed, Oregon

Creator:: Sinton, Diana Stuart
Abstract:: Throughout the 20th century, windthrow has affected forests in the Bull Run watershed, a 26,500 ha basin that is the principal water source for the city of Portland, Oregon. Windthrow from storms in 1973 and 1983 was mapped into a geographic information system (GIS) and compared to a 1931 windthrow...

A per-segment approach to improving aspen mapping from remote sensing imagery and its implications at different scales

Creator:: Heyman, Ofer
Abstract:: A per-segment classification system was developed to map aspen (Populus tremuloides) stands on Winter Ridge in central Oregon from remote sensing imagery. A 1-meter color infrared (CIR) image was segmented based on its hue and saturation values to generate aspen "candidates", which were then classified to show aspen coverage according...

The effects of land use changes on forest fires in major islands of Indonesia

Creator:: Lumban-Tobing, Pago L.
Abstract:: The study examines the effect of forest clearance on fire occurrences in major islands of Indonesia, namely: Borneo, Sumatra, Sulawesi and Irian Jaya. The working hypothesis of the study is that forest clearing is a necessary predecessor for extensive fires to occur. The study is designed to test the idea...

Structural and functional comparison of human-impacted and natural forest landscapes in the western Cascades of Oregon

Creator:: Pennington, Deana D.
Abstract:: This study compared effects of human and natural wildfire disturbance on age class distribution and associated ecosystem properties of forests in a 15,670 km2 area of the western Cascades of Oregon. The study site is characterized by three forest use types: low elevation, intensively harvested private industrial lands; mid elevation...

Storm-induced mass wasting in forested areas: conditions and characteristics for three Western Oregon study sites

Creator:: Robben, Joshua L.
Abstract:: Much of the rich forestlands of Oregon are subject to frequent mass wasting events, resulting in severe environmental and economic damages. Extensive research has shown that this landslide hazard is often exacerbated by many management activities. Following a severe storm event which triggered thousands of landslides, the Oregon Department of...

Analysis of riparian vegetation age structure and forest land ownership in the Central Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Purnell, Christopher S.
Abstract:: Vegetation along the banks of mountain streams in the western Oregon Cascades comprises an integral part of the transition zone between land and water based ecosystems, and as such, is a vitally important and unique natural resource. Forestry is a major land use in this region, and harvesting riparian vegetation...

A Methodology to directly input data from an uncontrolled aerial photograph into a vector based geographic information system

Creator:: Sneed, Jacquelin M.
Abstract:: Historically the U.S. Forest Service has used uncorrected aerial photographs to delineate proposed and past management activities on the land base it manages. Transferring a boundary from an image not planimetrically correct to a planimetrically corrected image introduces errors. Positional accuracy of boundaries affects the number of acres the Forest...
