  • Summer Low Flow Response to Timber Harvest and Riparian Treatments in Forested Headwater Streams of Coastal Northern California

    Creator:
    Nicholas, Jonah
    Abstract:
    Headwater streams represent the majority of the drainage area of a river network and provide many critical functions supporting aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem health. The riparian zones that surround these streams are transitional areas between terrestrial and stream ecosystems, which provide key habitat for aquatic and terrestrial organisms, especially during...

  • Understanding Citizen Advisory Boards : A National Census of Tree Boards

    Creator:
    Greenleaf, Sarah (Sarah Maleno)
    Abstract:
    Effective management of urban forests is vital to society due to the numerous ecological, economic, and social benefits they provide. In many cities, management efforts are commonly supported by citizen advisory groups, which are often generically referred to as “tree boards” within the urban forestry context. Very little is known...

  • Faidherbia albida Water Use and Impacts on Teff Growth in a Sub-humid Environment in Mojo, Ethiopia

    Creator:
    Krampien, Jeannette T.
    Abstract:
    Faidherbia albida is a widely used tree species in sub-Saharan Africa, promoted for use in parkland agroforestry systems based on reduced competition with crops during the rainy season from its reverse leafing phenology and positive effect on soil fertility. Increases in growth and yield have been reported for crops such...

  • University alumni's purchase of university licensed merchandise : exploring the reasoning behind purchase decisions

    Creator:
    Kopczenski, Aleece D.
    Abstract:
    Generating annual revenue of over $4 billion dollars (The Collegiate Licensing Company, n.d.), the collegiate licensing presents a potential market that both apparel companies and universities can benefit from. While the collegiate licensing business is expected to increase financial resources for the participating universities and textiles and apparel companies, little...

  • Effects of biocide treatment on durability and fungal colonization of teak, western redcedar, and redwood

    Creator:
    Cabrera Orozco, Yohanna
    Abstract:
    Treating durable, second-growth or plantation-grown material with supplemental chemicals could improve durability while enhancing the uniformity of the products. To test this hypothesis, the effect of two candidate biocide treatments on the durability of teak, redwood, and western redcedar was assessed in a ground proximity field test established in Hawaii....

  • Estimating spatial changes in acoustic velocity in felled Douglas-fir stems

    Creator:
    Dowding, Bodie
    Abstract:
    To compete with other building materials, the wood products industry must find a way to increase value and lower costs. Wood stiffness is important for most wood uses. Value can be increased and costs can be lowered by sorting logs for stiffness in the woods using acoustic devices mounted on...

  • In-forest log segregation based on acoustic measurement of wood stiffness

    Creator:
    Amishev, Dzhamal Y.
    Abstract:
    To remain competitive, the forest products industry needs to look for new and innovative processes and technologies to not only reduce costs but also to recover more value through the entire seedling-to-customer forest products supply chain. It is well recognized that measuring wood properties of logs in real time during...

  • Improving wood strength and stiffness through viscoelastic thermal compression

    Creator:
    O'Connor, John P.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research project was to increase the density, strength, and stiffness of two low to medium-density diffuse-porous hardwood species. Wood used in this study was processed using a method of wood densification known as “Viscoelastic Thermal Compression” (VTC). The VTC process is a three phase treatment which...
