Equations for estimating biomass and leaf area of plants in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:

Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory, Gholz, Henry L., Grier, C. C., Campbell, A. G., and Brown, A. T.

Abstract:

Reliable estimates of plant biomass and leaf surface area are essential for studying primary production, nutrient cycling, hydrology, wildlife management, and fire. This paper presents equations that can be used to make such estimates for most plant species-trees, shrubs, and herbs-dominant in western and central Oregon.' We also document the...

Growth of Douglas-fir reproduction in the shade of a managed forest

Creator:

Del Rio, Ernest, Berg, Alan B., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory

Abstract:

Growth was assessed for Douglasfir reproduction which had established naturally beneath three intensities of overstory thinning in a 65-year-old stand of Douglas-fir on the east side of the Oregon Coast Range. The age of advanced reproduction ranged from 4 to 15 years. Understory environments were described in terms of sunlight,...
