Creator:: Connor, Jeffery Dean
Abstract:: The overall objective of the research reported here is to empirically measure the ability of farmers to mitigate the impact of rising electricity prices by substituting relatively inexpensive alternative inputs. A dual cost methodology is employed because it allows theoretically consistent derivation of own price and factor substitution elasticities, conditional...

Creator:: McCadden, Richard Jay
Abstract:: As a preliminary step toward the establishment of a 70 mm. aerial photo timber inventory system capable of generating accurate stand tables, stock tables, and gross volume estimates, this project focuses on the development of a system which (1) eliminates the need to measure tree height on the photos through...

Abstract:: "An important limitation In the study of tree roots has traditionally been the time necessary to excavate roots without injuring their fine structure. Thus, many root studies have been based on small samples and consequently contain large errors of estimation. This Note describes how large numbers of root systems from...

Creator:: Wang, Sen
Abstract:: The vegetation of a 420 square mile area of the Oregon Coastal Mountain Range was mapped using data from the multispectral scanner system aboard Landsat. Advantages of this mapping system include rapid synoptic coverage of the same geographic area at different periods in time at a reduced cost compared to...

Creator:: Newton, Michael, 1932-, White, Diane E., Howard, Kerry Megan, Cline, G., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Aerial application of fosamine ammonium or glyphosate at moderate rates was not adequate for controlling understory brush before final harvesting of mature Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stands or for reducing vigor of post-harvest sprouting. Symptoms of herbicide injury were those associated with low application rates, suggesting that the canopy intercepted too...

Abstract:: Trees in a Douglas-fir stand infested with western spruce budworm were treated with a systemic insecticide to protect cone and seed production at three locations in Montana during 1983. Treatments applied were (1) acephate as an Acecap implant, (2) acephate as an Inject-A-Cide injection, and (3) control. Potential cone-bearing trees...
