Storm runoff response from roadbuilding and logging on small watersheds in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Hsieh, Frederic Shu-kong
Abstract:: The effects of roadbuilding, logging and burning upon stream runoff responses to individual storms are evaluated for the Alsea experimental watersheds, located in the Oregon Coast Range, The parameters analyzed are peak discharge, induced peak discharge, time-to-peak, and storm-runoff volume. The volume parameter is further sub-divided into total, quick, delayed,...

An economic analysis with emphasis on stochastic evaluation of the structural and marketing changes of the Oregon millwork industry

Creator:: Bandrowski, Stefan Stanislaw
Abstract:: Recently, the millwork industry in Oregon, an important consumer of pine lumber produced in this region, has undergone a series of changes which have seemingly affected its structure and marketing organization. The principal purpose of this study is to explain these changes in terms of economic analysis and to find...

Evaluation of management alternatives for an undeveloped, forested area in Oregon's coast range

Creator:: Johnson, Kenneth Norman
Abstract:: One of the most vexing problems facing the United States Forest Service in Western Oregon concerns its management of undeveloped forested lands. Many of these areas contain highly productive timberland, and restriction of timber harvesting to preserve the land's primitive character can be very costly. Also there are conflicting pressures...

Limits on aboveground net primary production, leaf area, and biomass in vegetational zones of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Gholz, Henry L.
Abstract:: Samples of mature vegetation from 8 of 12 major vegetational zones in Oregon and Washington, representing about 80% of the area of the two states, were studied along a latitudinal transect from the Pacific Coast to the east slopes of the Cascade Mountains. Six stands were in forest zones, one...

Urban owners of forests in western Oregon

Creator:: Downing, Kent., Connaughton, Kent P., Hopkins, Walter S., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Urbanites who own forest land belong to a larger category of owners often referred to as small woodland owners. As a group, small woodland owners have been the subject of much investigation. Little research, however, has focused specifically on urban-dwelling owners who, as defined by the Census Bureau, live in...

Historic fires in the central Western Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Burke, Constance J.
Abstract:: The history of fire between 1850 and 1977 in a portion of the Willamette National Forest in-the central Western Cascades of Oregon was documented using historical sources. Three types of records were available: (1) records and writings not primarily concerned with fire but yielding information about fire in context with...

Forest vegetation and soils of terraces and floodplains along the McKenzie River, Oregon

Creator:: Hawk, Glenn M.
Abstract:: A study of the McKenzie River floodplains, terraces and glacial outwash plains was undertaken to classify and describe the vegetation and soils of a previously little studied synecological unit. During the summer of 1971, 54 analytic vegetation and soil plots (stands) were studied. Cover and frequency of all trees, shrubs,...

Objectives and attitudes of nonindustrial small-forest owners in Lane County, Oregon

Creator:: Martin, David Carl
Abstract:: Sixty nonindustrial small-forest owners were interviewed in Lane County, Oregon to determine their objectives for forest lands, and knowledge of and attitudes toward public assistance in forestry. Owners were randomly sampled from a preselected size class of 10 to 200 acres. A formal questionnaire was used to measure forest land...

Priority evaluation of fire hazard in the Douglas Forest Protective Association district in Oregon

Creator:: Mohr, Francis R.
Abstract:: This study analyzes past forest fire behavior on a selected area in the Oregon Cascades in an attempt to evaluate level of fire hazard on selected vegetational areas. Vegetational areas were defined in five broad classes: Merchantable Douglas-fir Stands, Non-merchantable Douglas-fir Stands, Oak- Madrone Stands, Non- forest Lands, and Non-stocked...

Nitrogen, phosphorus and particulate matter budgets of five coniferous forest ecosystems in the western Cascades Range, Oregon.

Creator:: Fredriksen, R. L.
Abstract:: Nutrient and particulate matter balances were established for five ecosystems dominated by Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] in the western Cascades, Oregon. Carriers of N and P were particulate matter (dust in precipitation and sediment in streams) and dissolved matter in both precipitation and stream water. The input and outflow...
