Douglas-fir (Psuedotsuga menziesii) biomass and nutrient removal under varying harvest scenarios involving co-production of timber and feedstock for liquid biofuels

Creator:: Coons, Kristin L.
Abstract:: In this study an improved model of biomass and nutrient estimation of coastal Douglas-fir (Psuedotsuga menziesii) in the Pacific Northwest has been developed across a wide range of stand management regimes. This study quantifies and defines the type and intensity of biomass harvest and associated removal for actively managed stands...

Did the Great Recession change SNAP participation behavior? A panel analysis of two Oregon SNAP participant cohorts

Creator:: Carroll, Joanna M.
Abstract:: This analysis explores potential changes in the behavior of Oregon's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants after the 2008 recession. I examine this using individual-level administrative data from the State of Oregon in a linear probability model and a duration model. After controlling for a standard set of factors known...

Sustainable biomass supply from fuel reduction treatments : a biomass assessment of federally owned land in eastern Oregon

Creator:: Vogler, Kevin C.
Abstract:: Wildfire exclusion over the past century or more has resulted in extensive fuel accumulations throughout much of the West that combined with recent climatic patterns have increased the frequency of relatively uncommon, large, high-severity wildfires. Forest restoration treatments intended to alter landscape-level fire disturbance patterns can be difficult to implement...

An analysis of the prerequisites for landowner participation in conservation oriented programs in the Wood River Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Thomas, Kelley A.
Abstract:: Before 2002, almost all of the approximately 40,000 acres of land in the Wood River Valley, Oregon were used for intensive, flood-irrigated summer cattle grazing, as it had been for over 100 years. Conservation activity in the valley was limited to a couple of wealthy landowners. But a year after...

Relationship between allometric variables and biomass in western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis)

Creator:: Sabin, Breanna S.
Abstract:: A tenfold expansion of western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis spp. occidentalis) into the sagebrush steppe has led to the degradation of the economic and ecological potential of these landscapes. Land managers have enacted numerous methods to reduce distributions and densities of these trees. Assessment of above ground juniper biomass, expressed overall...

Impact of exotic Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Doug. ex Laws.) plantations on water resources in northwestern Patagonia, Argentina

Creator:: Licata, Julian A.
Abstract:: Exotic ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Doug. ex Lawson) plantations are being planted within the natural distribution area of cordilleran cypress (Austrocedrus chilensis (D.Don) Pic. Ser. et Bizzarri) in Patagonia, Argentina. The productivity of these exotic plantations is much greater than that of native forests, suggesting greater water use. Before these...

The expression of functional traits during seedling establishment in two populations of Pinus ponderosa from contrasting climates

Creator:: Kerr, Kelly L.
Abstract:: Vegetation patterns and species distributions are strongly linked to soil moisture regimes, and populations within a species from contrasting climatic regimes could exhibit differences in the degree to which certain functional traits related to establishment are expressed. Tree seedling survival is crucial for forest regeneration, and thus may be a...

Development of self-registration features for the assembly of a microchannel hemodialyser

Creator:: Porter, Spencer D.
Abstract:: More than 1.2 million people worldwide require regular hemodialysis therapy to treat end stage renal failure. In the United States alone, there are 300,000 patients and the National Kidney Foundation predicts that this number will double in the next 10 years. Currently most dialysis patients receive treatment at a dialysis...

Institutional capacity building through land and water stewardship integration - an analysis of source water protection in Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Odom, Olivia
Abstract:: Globally, access to safe, reliable drinking water sources is a major challenge of this generation. Protected sources of drinking water provide communities with a sustainable, vital resource, yet many public water suppliers lack legal authority over their source water protection (SWP) area, especially in surface water systems. Absence of legal...

Carbon flux patterns on U.S. public timberlands under alternative timber harvest policies

Creator:: Shanks, Alyssa V.
Abstract:: This study considers trade-offs between timber harvest and carbon sequestration on National Forest and other public lands by contemporaneously linking a model of public harvest and inventory to a carbon accounting system. The public harvest model treats three harvest scenarios. The first minimizes the cost of meeting harvest requests that...
