Simulating Wood Properties in the Context of a Growth and Yield Model for Planted Douglas-fir

Creator:

Osborne, Nathaniel L.

Abstract:

Forest growth and yield models are critical to supporting decision making in forestry, but often lack considerations for wood properties. The feasibility of simulating wood properties in the context of a Douglas-fir individual tree growth and yield model was evaluated. This assessment explored the effect of predicted sapwood width, stem...

Thinning effects on stand and tree growth : different perspectives on same old questions

Creator:

Romero Castaño, Pablo

Abstract:

The search for the stand density that optimizes growth and hence generates the maximum amount of wood is one of the philosopher’s stone in modern forestry. Since scientific methods were applied to forestry, numerous generations of foresters have studied the relations between stocking density and growth, obtaining diverse results and...

The effects of mechanical damage on residual coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirbel] Franco) following commercial thinning

Creator:

Kiser, James D.

Abstract:

Commercial thinning operations can result in damage to residual stems. A literature review revealed that little was known about the effects of residual logging wounds with regard to rotation-age commercial conifers, particularly Douglas-fir. An experiment to examine fungal colonization of Douglas-fir following logging damage showed that while damage was significant...
