Skyline thinning production and costs : experience from the Willamette Young Stand Project

Creator:: Kellogg, L. D. (Loren D.), Miller, Mark E., Olsen, Eldon D., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Production rates and costs for skyline harvesting were examined over a range of residual thinning intensities, operational methods, and sites. The sites included three stands of 40- to 50-yr-old Douglas-fir on the Willamette National Forest in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon. Three silvicultural treatments were studied at two sites, and...

Equations for predicting height-to-crown-base, 5-year diameter-growth rate, 5-year height-growth rate, 5-year mortality rate, and maximum size-density trajectory for Douglas-fir and western hemlock in the coastal region of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Hann, David W., Marshall, David D., Hanus, Mark L., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Using existing permanent research plot data, we developed equations for predicting height-to-crown-base (HCB), 5-yr diametergrowth rate (delta D), 5-yr height-growth rate (delta H), 5-yr mortality rate (PM), and the maximum size-density trajectory for Douglasfir and western hemlock in the coastal region of the Pacific Northwest. With the exception of the...

Reanalysis of the SMC-ORGANON equations for diameter-growth rate, height-growth rate, and mortality rate of Douglas-fir

Creator:: Hann, David W., Marshall, David D., Hanus, Mark L., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Using existing data from untreated research plots, we developed equations for predicting 5-yr diameter-growth rate (ΔD₅), 5-yr height-growth rate (ΔH₅), and 5-yr mortality rate (PM₅) for Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] in the coastal region of the Pacific Northwest. These equations are revisions of the equations constructed in 1995–1997 for...

Statistical comparison of methods used in harvesting work studies

Creator:: Olsen, Eldon D., Hossain, Mohammad M., Miller, Mark E., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Work-study guidelines were developed using field data from thinning sites in the Oregon Cascade Range. Regression of detailed time study and shift-level data predicted harvesting production rates. Statistical analysis showed the relative difference in the discriminating power between shift-level studies versus detailed time studies. Indicator variables tested if there were...

Predicting height to crown base for undamaged and damaged trees in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Hanus, Mark L., Hann, David W., Marshall, David D., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Equations for predicting height to crown base are presented for tree species from southwest Oregon. Equations for undamaged and damaged trees were estimated with weighted nonlinear regression techniques. The effects of specific damaging agents on the height to crown base were explored, and damage correction factors were estimated. The damage...

Enhanced height-growth-rate equations for undamaged and damaged trees in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Hann, David W., Hanus, Mark L., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Equations for predicting the 5-yr height growth rate of a tree are presented for six conifer species from southwest Oregon. Equations for the combination of undamaged and damaged trees were estimated with weighted nonlinear regression techniques. These equations are being incorporated into the new southwest Oregon version of ORGANON, a...

Enhanced diameter-growth-rate equations for undamaged and damaged trees in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Hann, David W., Hanus, Mark L., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Equations for predicting the 5-yr diameter-growth rate of a tree are presented for eight conifer and nine hardwood tree species from southwest Oregon. Equation parameters for undamaged and damaged trees combined were estimated by weighted nonlinear regression. The resulting equation for Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] explained more than 71%...

Enhanced mortality equations for trees in the mixed conifer zone of Southwest Oregon

Creator:: Hann, David W., Hanus, Mark L., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Equations for predicting the probability of a tree's dying in the next 5 years are presented for eight conifer and eight hardwood tree species from southwest Oregon. A logistic equation form was used to characterize the probability of mortality. The parameters of the equation were estimated using weighted, maximum likelihood...

Management of non-industrial private forest lands : survey results from western Oregon and Washington owners

Creator:: Johnson, Rebecca L., 1955-, Alig, Ralph J., Kline, J. D., Moulton, Robert J. (Robert James), Rickenbach, Mark G., 1968-, and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Oregon State University researchers conducted a survey in 1994 of non-industrial private forest (NIPF) landowners in western Oregon and western Washington. Private forests provide valuable ecological services, such as fish and wildlife habitat, and are also partially filling the gap created by recent reductions in federal timber harvest in the...

Increasing the productivity of a small yarder : crew size, skidder swinging, hot thinning

Creator:: Kellogg, L. D. (Loren D.), Olsen, Eldon D., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: The production rates and costs of harvesting smallwood were determined for a small yarder (Koller K-300) operating under variable conditions: the size of the crew, the addition of a skidder to swing logs from the landing, and the type of harvest method-employed, either conventional or hot thinning (simultaneous felling and...
