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...

Development of a hybrid modeling framework for intensively managed Douglas-fir plantations in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Weiskittel, Aaron R.
Abstract:: Forest growth models in the Pacific Northwest are predominantly empirical. Predictions of yield under alternative silvicultural regimes cannot rely completely on field trials; yet empirical growth models are often inadequate for extrapolating untested regimes and genotypes. The limitations of current models include (1) long time-steps (e.g. 5-10 years); (2) insufficient...

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...

Effect of Root and Shoot Manipulation on the Morphology and Physiology of Oregon White Oak (Quercus garryana) Seedlings in the Nursery and Following Outplanting

Creator:: Baumgart, Erin E.
Abstract:: Oregon white oak, or Garry oak (Quercus garryana), has been adversely affected by land-use conversion, landscape fragmentation, and anthropogenic fire suppression. Its historical range has contracted significantly to the point where an estimated 1-5% remains intact. Natural regeneration is difficult due to a lack of seed sources and the physiological...

Ungulates and Forest Management : Understanding Interactions Between Large Herbivores and Fuels Reduction Treatments on Shrub Assemblages in the Intermountain West

Creator:: Hall Defrees, Dallas K.
Abstract:: Deciduous shrubs are an integral component of mixed conifer forests of the interior Pacific Northwest by providing structural complexity, forage, and niche habitat. Currently, these species are under pressure from high levels of ungulate herbivory and forest management activities such as fuels reduction treatments. Ungulate herbivory is influential in the...

Douglas-fir Seedlings in the Pacific Northwest: The Genetics of Drought Adaptation

Creator:: Celer, Erda
Abstract:: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is a widely distributed, ecologically important, and commercially valuable tree species in North America. However, climate change is expected to adversely impact Douglas-fir trees, and assisted migration may become necessary to lessen the effects of climate change. Because drought stress is one of the projected effects of...

Impacts of dwarf mistletoe on the physiology of host Tsuga heterophylla trees as recorded in tree ring C and O stable isotopes

Creator:: Marias, Danielle E.
Abstract:: Dwarf mistletoes, obligate, parasitic plants with diminutive aerial shoots, have long-term effects on host tree water relations, hydraulic architecture, and photosynthetic gas exchange and can eventually lead to tree death. To investigate the long-term impacts of dwarf mistletoe on gas exchange of host western hemlock trees, I compared growth, gas...

Interactions between nitrogen, phosphorus, and molybdenum in forest soils and cyanobacterial lichen in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Marks, Jade A.
Abstract:: Molybdenum is an essential component of biogeochemical cycling, most notably as a component of the nitrogenase enzyme used in biological nitrogen (N) fixation. While the important role of phosphorus (P) in limiting N fixation in ecosystems has been well documented, occurrence and prevalence of molybdenum (Mo) limitation is largely unknown....

Genetic Structure in Populations of the Douglas-fir Swiss Needle Cast Fungus Nothophaeocryptopus gaeumannii

Creator:: Bennett, Patrick I.
Abstract:: The fungus Nothophaeocryptopus gaeumannii is the causative agent of Swiss needle cast (SNC), a foliar disease of Douglas-fir. Disease is characterized by premature loss of foliage and reduced growth resulting from the inhibition of photosynthesis due to the occlusion of stomata by the ascocarps of N. gaeumannii. Although the disease...
