Reforestation of certain areas of southwestern Oregon has become a serious problem. Reforestation failures are evident in numerous clear-cut stands, but failures are also noted in various partially-cut stands. The Dead Indian Plateau, approximately twenty miles east of Ashland, Oregon, has many areas where this is evident. This study investigated...

Silvicultural methods used by foresters in the Pacific Northwest exemplifies this quandary. Silviculture largely consists of applying standard techniques to various forest stands. Classical silvicultural techniques are not universally...
Stream buffer strips are an important tool for protecting the stream environment. This research documents the losses from 40 stream buffer strips, in the Western Cascades of Oregon, established 1 to 15 years before the study. Predictive equations are developed
which identify the major reasons for buffer strip losses. Losses...

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,...
