Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) has a wide distribution in North America and is one of the
tree species most widely distributed outside its natural range. The species has been introduced to
Europe, New Zealand, South America, and elsewhere around the world. At present, Douglas-fir
is an accepted and integral part of...

This book provides an illustrated guide to the identification and management of fungi, insects, and abiotic conditions that cause problems in Northwest bareroot conifer nurseries. A key to nursery pests offers initial guidance in identification. Separate chapters address individual pests with details on recognition, damage cycle, and management practices to...

In February of 1975, the School of Forestry sponsored a series of lectures and discussions on the topic, "Forests of the World-Future Resources Conflicts." The objectives of these presentations were to examine prospects for future forest use, the demands that will be made on forest resources of all sorts, the...

Seedlings of western redcedar (Thuja plicata Donn ex. D. Don), western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.), and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) were transplanted into soils with low and high levels of available NO3 – (and total N). Current-year foliage was sampled after 10 weeks to determine the effect of...
Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) is one of the world's most important and valuable timber trees. Its natural distribution in North America resembles an inverted V with uneven sides. From the apex in British Columbia, the western half extends along the Pacific mountain ranges into California for about 2,200 km...
Reforestation sometimes is delayed by planting seedlings that do not have high potential for survival. Several factors influence survival. Unstored Douglas-fir lifted and planted in early fall generally are increasingly harmed by moisture stress the farther south in the Douglas-fir region they are. Such early-lifted seedlings are harmed even more...
Germination and survival of Douglas-fir on seedbeds of unburned,
lightly burned, and severely burned soil, charcoal, litter, and sawdust,
exposed to 100, 75, and 25 percent of full light, were studied on a
south-facing clearcutting in the Coast range of Oregon.
Irrespective of exposure to light, germination was best on...
Planting techniques, size and age of seedlings, and protection
against animals were investigated for their influence on survival of
ponderosa pine at two sites in southern Oregon. Caging and mulching
with paper were the most effective measures for reducing mortality.
Preliminary trials prior to large-scale planting were recommended for
determining...
"We describe a test procedure developed during growth room and field trials for which we processed hundreds of test lots of seedlings, mainly Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), as well as lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta), Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi), and Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis), noble fir (Abies...
