Photogrammetric uses of a new-generation analytical stereoplotter in forestry

Creator:: Kiser, James D. (James Donald)
Abstract:: The development of personal computer software coupled to an analytical stereoplotter allows major gains in efficiency and accuracy in a number of forestry related subjects. This thesis describes the operation of a system developed by Carto Instruments. This thesis demonstrates how area estimates might be made in a systematic way...

An evaluation of an inventory projection system : TRIM model predictions vs. forest inventory field measurements in North Carolina

Creator:: Mills, John R.
Abstract:: As part of the effort to evaluate TRIM (Timber Resource Inventory Model) for the next RPA National Assessment, a study was conducted using natural pine stands in North Carolina. TRIM has been used for regional timber supply studies in both the Pacific Northwest and the South (Southern Timber Supply Study)....

The role of strategic planning in the management of fire-prone western Oregon forests for maximizing terrestrial carbon stocks over a 100-year horizon

Creator:: Vanderberg, Michael R.
Abstract:: Current frameworks for analyzing forest carbon offset projects in disturbance-prone western forests often fail to address the dynamic nature of carbon pathways through time. They do not account for the probability of loss due to wildfire, which can influence the prediction of carbon storage at the end of a planning...

Tradeoffs associated with managing forested landscapes for multiple-uses

Creator:: Lichtenstein, Mark E.
Abstract:: This study focuses on the tradeoffs that exist for managing forested landscapes for biodiversity and timber production. Tradeoff evaluation is important to natural resource managers so they can understand the benefits and costs of alternative management prescriptions. The study examines three watersheds in the Oregon Coast Range and 166 terrestrial...

Radiative forcing and forest climate policy

Creator:: Thompson, Matthew P.
Abstract:: This thesis is comprised of two manuscripts that relate to forest-based management strategies in the context of market-based climate change mitigation policies. The work questions the appropriateness of a singular focus on carbon sequestration given the albedo effect and its possible countervailing climatic impacts. Through a review of salient literature...

Efficient transformation of pinaceous gymnosperm cells by Agrobacterium

Creator:: Morris, John W. (John William), 1954-
Abstract:: Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Agrobacteriwn rhizogenes, the causal agents of crown gall disease and hairy root disease, are known for their ability to transfer part of their DNA (the T-DNA) from the bacterial tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid to the genome of the host plant. Interest has focused on these bacteria because they...

An advanced inventory method for forest roads

Creator:: Gorsevski, Peter (Pece) V.
Abstract:: This thesis presents the idea for FORIN (Forest Roads Inventory), a computerized forest roads inventory system. FORIN is a tool to more efficiently inventory and manage information of forest roads. FORIN is intended for use by field personnel, who will use pen-based computers to improve productivity, accuracy of inventories, to...

The Application of Linear Programming for Forest Land Use and Timber Management Planning with Watershed Considerations in Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia

Creator:: Mat Isa, Ahmad Zainal
Abstract:: The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the use of Linear Programming (LP) and other mathematical procedures to evaluate watershed and perpetuity constraints on forest land use for a selected scenario in Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia. The paper describes the system of modelling and forecasting estimates of potential timber growth,...

Economic Benefit from Allowing Wildfires to Burn in Federal East-Side Cascade Forests

Creator:: Gagnon, Aaron R.
Abstract:: In this thesis I examine the question: can allowing a wildfire to burn this year result in a net positive economic gain? To answer this question I created 2,500 multiple sets of paired scenarios (called a fire of interest) which consist of ignitions, vegetation growth, and timber harvest over the...

Wood properties and use of sensor technology to improve optimal bucking and value recovery of Douglas-fir

Creator:: Acuna, Mauricio A.
Abstract:: There are a number of wood properties which affect the quality of forest products such as lumber and pulp. Of these, wood density is considered by some to be the single most important physical characteristic because it is an excellent predictor of strength, stiffness, hardness, and paper-making capacities. Accurately assessing...
