The structure and development pattern of mixed-species forest stands in the interior cedar-hemlock zone : moist cold subzone of northwestern British Columbia

Creator:: LePage, P. (Philip)
Abstract:: A field study was established to explore stand structure and development patterns of mature, mixed-species forests in the Interior Cedar-Hemlock (ICH) zone: moist cold subzone of northwestern British Columbia. The species of interest in the study area were: western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.), western redcedar (Thuja plicata Donn), lodgepole...

Historical disturbance regimes as a reference for forest policy

Creator:: Thompson, Jonathan R.
Abstract:: Using the historical range of forest conditions as a reference for managing landscapes has been proposed as a "coarse-filter" approach to biodiversity conservation. By emulating historical disturbance processes, it is thought that forest management can produce forest composition and structure similar to the conditions that once supported the native biota....

Structural and functional comparison of human-impacted and natural forest landscapes in the western Cascades of Oregon

Creator:: Pennington, Deana D.
Abstract:: This study compared effects of human and natural wildfire disturbance on age class distribution and associated ecosystem properties of forests in a 15,670 km2 area of the western Cascades of Oregon. The study site is characterized by three forest use types: low elevation, intensively harvested private industrial lands; mid elevation...

Post-harvest establishment influences ANPP, soil C and DOC export in complex mountainous terrain

Creator:: Peterson, Fox S.
Abstract:: The link between aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) and resource gradients generated by complex terrain (solar radiation, nutrients, and moisture) has been established in the literature. Belowground ecosystem stocks and functions, such as soil organic carbon (SOC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and belowground productivity have also been related to the...

Land ownership and forest cover in the Oregon Coast Range : spatial pattern and social ground-truthing

Creator:: Stanfield, Brooks J.
Abstract:: We use qualitative and quantitative methods to explore social and spatial relationships between land ownership and forest cover in the Oregon Coast Range. Using a Geographic Information System (GIS) and regression analysis, we tested for spatial relationships between the structure of land ownership and forest cover across 66 watersheds in...

Cryptogam communities in forest and steppe ecosystems of Oregon, USA

Creator:: Root, Heather T.
Abstract:: I focus on addressing knowledge gaps relating to management of cryptogams in Oregon's public lands in Pseudotsuga menziesii-Tsuga heterophylla forests on the west side of the Cascade Range and dryland steppe in the Cascade Range's rainshadow. While a great deal of research has illustrated the importance of late-successional forests for...

A characterization of unmanaged riparian overstories in the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Nierenberg, Tara R.
Abstract:: Riparian areas that can be used as reference sites on which to base goals of vegetation restoration have not been documented in the Oregon Coast Range. I examined the composition and distribution of unmanaged riparian overstories in the central Oregon Coast Range along nine streams which have experienced minimal disturbance...

Forest harvest patterns on private land in western Oregon from 1972 to 2002

Creator:: VanNatta, Lisa R.
Abstract:: This project examined the harvest patterns found on private forestland in western Oregon (46000 1cm2) between 1972 and 2002. The research addressed hypotheses concerning the behaviors of different classes of owners as defined by total amount of forestland owned. Existing forest stand disturbance data and ownership data were combined using...

Private forests, public policy : oak conservation on family forests in Oregon’s Willamette Valley

Creator:: Fischer, Alexandra Paige
Abstract:: In the United States, many of the thorniest natural resource conflicts occur on private lands. This is especially true in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon where the hallmark habitat type, Oregon white oak woodland and savanna, is imperiled. Almost exclusively found on private land, Oregon white oak is threatened...
