An economic analysis of hardwood treatment in loblolly pine plantations--a whole rotation dynamic programming approach

Creator:: Valsta, Lauri
Abstract:: To accomplish an economic evaluation of vegetation management in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) at regeneration and a subsequent release time, two existing growth models were linked together in a dynamic programming analysis. The first model (Burkhart and Sprinz, 1984) provides a projection of stands regenerated with varying hardwood components...

Improved viewshed modelling for estimating effects of neighboring land uses on property values

Creator:: Gjesdahl, Jacob E.
Abstract:: The effect of land uses on neighboring property values is of critical interest to urban planners, developers, and citizens. Property values are in part defined by built structure and lot characteristics, locational attributes (e.g., proximity to amenities and disamenities), and other features such as views from a property. The effects...

An evaluation of alternative estimates of demand for and benefits from Oregon salmon sport fishing

Creator:: Hsiao, Ching-kai
Abstract:: The main objective of this study was to estimate the demand for and net economic benefits from Oregon salmon sport fishing. The travel cost method was used as the primary technique for demand analysis. Several empirical estimates of consumer surplus per trip and per fish were obtained from different estimation...

The impact of extended fisheries jurisdiction on global fishery markets : the case of Alaska pollock from the U.S. West Coast

Creator:: Gancho, Paula
Abstract:: The increased US domestic production of surimi from the US Pacific Coast after 1977 is a major consequence of the US's extended fisheries jurisdiction to 200 nautical miles. It is only one consequence, however, whose nature can best be understood by examining the surimi market in the context of what...

The optimal allocation of watershed conservation funding : a case study of the John Day River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Skelton, Katharine
Abstract:: This study determines the optimal allocation of watershed conservation funds in the John Day River Basin, Oregon. Fund managers can use a variety of targeting schemes to allocate their limited resources. Depending on which targeting criteria is used, they may or may not be achieving the maximum environmental benefits per...

Irrigated agriculture, energy, and endangered species in the Upper Klamath Basin : Evaluating trade-offs and interconnections

Creator:: Boehlert, Brent B.
Abstract:: In 2001, an extreme drought tightened water supply in the Upper Klamath Basin (basin) while earlier increases in Endangered Species Act (ESA) water requirements for basin fish species that same year elevated demands. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), which manages irrigation water in parts of the basin located near the...

Estimating the value of irrigation water transferred to instream flow : A case study of Umatilla County, Oregon

Creator:: Ugrinska, Monika P.
Abstract:: Agricultural water supplies are becoming increasingly uncertain in the western United States due to elevated demands from competing water users, environmental restrictions on surface water withdrawals as a result of the establishment of the Endangered Species Act in 1973, and potential climatic changes. Since many rural communities in the West...

Economic costs of long-term sea level rise on the Oregon coast : A case study of the Siletz Littoral Cell

Creator:: Fleck, William K.
Abstract:: Given the broad scientific consensus that global climate is changing, it is no longer a question if sea level will rise, but rather by how much will it rise. The regional estimates for the Eastern Pacific suggest that the Northwest coastlines will experience a greater eustatic sea level rise than...

Characterization of community capacity in a forest-dependent community : the case of the Haut-St.-Maurice

Creator:: Nadeau, Solange, 1967-
Abstract:: In recent years, economic, social, technological, and environmental changes have all imposed challenges on forest-based communities. This has revived interest in studying these communities to understand their ability to tackle these challenges. This study is built around a case study of an industrial forest-based community and aims at characterizing the...
