Canopy gaps affect the shape of Douglas-fir crowns in the western Cascades, Oregon

Creator:

Seidel, Dominik, Ruzicka, Kenneth J., and Puettmann, Klaus

Abstract:

Silvicultural regimes that aim at an increased stand structural diversity typically promote small-scale heterogeneity in horizontal and vertical structures, e.g. through the creation of gaps. We used terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) to investigate impacts of altered growing conditions on trees adjacent to artificial gaps as compared to responses of trees...

Mesoscale Variation in Snag and Hardwood Densities and Sizes in Old-Growth Forests in Western Oregon

Creator:

Ares, Adrian, Bright, Cheryl, and Puettmann, Klaus

Abstract:

Snags and hardwoods contribute to biological, structural, and functional diversity in old-growth forests. In the US Pacific Northwest, only general knowledge about regional patterns is available to determine target density of snags and hardwood trees. To investigate their variability at relevant scales for silviculture, we examined snag and hardwood densities...
