Creator:: Goracke, Heidi S. Roe
Abstract:: Concern over the increasing proportion of juvenile wood grown in second growth plantations has led to a large amount of research on the effects of common silvicultural practices on wood quality. Lacking is research on the effect of timing and duration of vegetation control on wood quality near the pith...

Creator:: Coate, Jeremy E.
Abstract:: Ten herbicides (atrazine, azafenidin, chlorsulfuron, clopyralid, hexazinone, imazapic, imazapyr, metsulfuron, pendimethalin, and sulfometuron) were evaluated for phytotoxicity in first-year seedlings of eight conifer species (Douglas-fir, grand fir, noble fir, redwood, Sitka spruce, western hemlock, western red cedar, and western white pine). Six of these herbicides (atrazine, clopyralid, hexazinone, imazapyr, metsulfuron,...

Creator:: Burney, Owen T.
Abstract:: The overall purpose of this study was to examine the root and shoot development of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seedlings at two distinct time periods in seedling establishment (after I and 3 growing seasons) in response to fertilizer, stock size, vegetation control, and soil moisture treatments. Two separate experiments...

Creator:: Crane, Gabriel A.
Abstract:: A series of studies and replicated field sites were implemented in the Oregon Coast Range within Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) sapling plantations infected with varying levels of Swiss needle cast (SNC) caused by the fungus, Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii (Rhode) Petrak (PG). This research was conducted to understand the effects of...

Creator:: Arellano Ogaz, Eduardo
Abstract:: Soil physical, chemical, and biological components as well as climate and physiographic characteristics can interact to have a great effect on forest regeneration and seedling growth response to different establishment activities. The objective of this project was to increase the understanding of the interactions between soil type, controlled-release fertilizers, and...

Creator:: Omi, Steven Katsu
Abstract:: Two-year-old ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) seedlings from two Oregon seed sources were lifted three times in the fall, stored below freezing (-1.5°C), and compared to seedlings that were handled conventionally (spring lifting followed by short-term cold storage, 2-4°C). Based on patterns of budbreak in a greenhouse and...

Creator:: Haase, Diane L.
Abstract:: Transplant shock was induced by applying a range of soil water contents to unstored and cold-stored two-yearold (2+0) bareroot Douglas-fir seedlings graded by root volume. Moisture stress had the greatest influence on morphological characteristics commonly associated with transplant shock. Terminal growth, lateral growth, stem diameter growth, and needle length increased...

Creator:: Taylor, Michael Monroe
Abstract:: Douglas-fir (Psudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seedlings were outplanted on eight dates (every three weeks from mid-August 2005 through mid-January 2006). On each plant date, seedlings from a conventional dormancy (CONV) induction treatment, including moisture and nutrient stress, and a shortened daylength (SD) treatment were outplanted on three western Oregon sites...
