  • Error propagation in estimating aboveground biomass using terrestrial LiDAR

    Creator:
    Shettles, Michael A.
    Abstract:
    Broad-scale estimates of above ground forest biomass (AGB) are typically produced by applying individual-tree equations to inventory data consisting of measurements from probabilistically or purposively selected trees. The associated uncertainty for these estimates depends primarily on three sources of error that interact and propagate: (1) measurement error, the quality of...

  • Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) : what we can and cannot see in the forest for the trees

    Creator:
    Edson, Curtis B.
    Abstract:
    Recently concerns over anthropogenic carbon pollution have received increased global attention and research in forest biomass and carbon sequestration has gained momentum. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing has in the last decade demonstrated forest measurement and biomass estimation potential. The project objective was to compare LiDAR forest biomass...

  • Converting forest biomass to energy in Oregon : stakeholder perspectives on a growing movement

    Creator:
    Stidham, Melanie
    Abstract:
    Within Oregon there is considerable interest in the possibility of converting woody biomass to energy. This interest stems from three converging factors: the desire to reduce the threat of uncharacteristic wildfire by removing excess material from the forests, the possibility to stimulate rural economies that are dependent on forest products,...

  • Local and downstream effects of contemporary forest harvesting on streamflow and sediment yield

    Creator:
    Zégre, Nicolas P.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation is a collection of three manuscripts that serve to fill the knowledge gaps and advance methods of detecting the effects of contemporary forest harvesting in experimental catchment studies. While there is a preponderance of studies evaluating the environmental effects of forest harvesting in the western United States, few...
