Determining optimal timber harvest and fuel treatment on a fire-threatened landscape using approximate dynamic programming

Creator:

Lauer, Christopher Joseph

Abstract:

Forest management in the face of fire risk is a challenging problem because fire spreads across a landscape and because its occurrence is unpredictable. Additionally, management must be adjusted over time as unpredictable fire events are realized. Land managers have some control over the vegetation conditions that facilitate fire spread,...

Dissertation
The effects of increased supply and emerging technologies in the forest products industry on rural communities in the northwest U.S.

Creator:

Crandall, Mindy S.

Abstract:

The development of a market for currently non-merchantable forest material, such as harvest residues of tops and limbs of trees or small diameter trees, has been suggested as a possible win-win solution that could: (i) provide a financial incentive to help motivate treatments to reduce wildfire risk or restore forest...

The impact of social capital on well-being in rural communities

Creator:

Harrison, Jane L.

Abstract:

This study seeks to explore the relationship between social capital and well-being in the rural Western United States. Mixed methods were employed to understand the concepts from multiple angles, using both profile and process indicators. An econometric approach used profile indicators and relied on data from 414 counties in the...

Wildfire risk management : strategic interaction and spatial interdependence

Creator:

Busby, Gwenlyn M.

Abstract:

In this dissertation, I examine how the spatial configuration of forest ownership influences the risk-mitigating behavior of public and private forestland owners over time. I determine whether or not the predicted equilibrium outcomes are socially optimal and, if not, whether the introduction of regulation, liability, or private insurance would lead...

Dissertation
Spatially explicit inter-temporal forest management decision under the risk of fire

Creator:

Konoshima, Masashi

Abstract:

This paper presents a framework for analyzing efficient spatial allocation of forest management efforts - fuel treatment and harvest - under the risk of fire. The framework integrates a fire behavior model and a spatially-explicit stochastic dynamic optimization model. I investigate the effects of spatial interaction across plots during forest...
