A pioneer exotic tree search for the douglas fir region

Creator:: Silen, Roy R. and Olson, Donald L.
Abstract:: After three-quarters of a century of introduction of 152 conifer and broadleaf species, no promising candidate exotic was found for the Douglas-fir region. Growth curves spanning 50 years or longer are figured for many species. Firs, pines, larches, spruces, hemlocks, and cedars originating in northwestern North America had superior growth...

Forested plant associations of the Colville National Forest

Creator:: Williams, Clinton K., Kelley, Brian F., Smith, Bradley G., and Lillybridge, Terry R.
Abstract:: A classification of forest vegetation is presented for the Colville National Forest in northeastern Washington State. It is based on potential vegetation with the plant association as the basic unit. The classification is based on a sample of approximately 229 intensive plots and 282 reconnaisance plots distributed across the forest...

Monitoring and evaluating citizen-agency interactions: a framework developed for adaptive management

Creator:: Shindler, Bruce, Cheek, Kristin Aldred, and Stankey, George H.
Abstract:: As the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management turn toward ecosystem and adaptive models of forest stewardship, they are being called on to develop meaningful and lasting relations with citizens. These new management styles require not only improved strategies for public involvement but also methods to examine the...

Management experiments for high-elevation agroforestry systems jointly producing matsutake mushrooms and high-quality timber in the Cascade Range of southern Oregon

Creator:: Weigand, James F.
Abstract:: Experimental prescriptions compare agroforestry systems designed to increase financial returns from high-elevation stands in the southern Oregon Cascade Range. The prescriptions emphasize alternative approaches for joint production of North American matsutake mushrooms (also known as North American pine mushrooms; Tricholoma magnivelare) and high-quality timber. Other agroforestry byproducts from the system...

Watershed restoration, jobs-in-the-woods, and community assistance : Redwood National Park and the Northwest Forest Plan

Creator:: DeForest, Christopher E.
Abstract:: There are many parallels between the 1978 legislation to expand Redwood National Park and the Northwest Forest Plan, which together with the Northwest Economic Adjustment Initiative formed the 1993 Pacific Northwest Initiative. In both situations, the Federal Government sought to promote retraining for displaced workers, to undertake watershed assessment and...

Timber harvesting, processing, and employment in the northwest economic adjustment initiative region : changes and economic assistance

Creator:: Raettig, Terry L. and Christensen, Harriet H.
Abstract:: The Northwest economic adjustment initiative (NWEAI) provides economic assistance to a region including western Washington, western Oregon, and northern California. Timber harvests have fallen markedly in this region since 1990. The forest products industry is the largest manufacturing sector in the region, and employment has followed the downward trend in...

Trends in key economic and social indicators for Pacific Northwest states and counties

Creator:: Raettig, Terry L.
Abstract:: Local (Country) variations in key social and economic indicators are important in Oregon and Washington. Covered employment, wage and salary, unemployment, and population data for 1987 through 1997 showed regional trends in these indicators, which are compared with national trends. Future updates will be published in the 'Production, Prices, Employment,...

Starkey Project : history facilities, and data collection methods for ungulate research

Creator:: Rowland, Mary M., Bryant, Larry D., Johnson, Bruce K., Noyes, James H., Wisdom, Michael J., and Thomas, Jack Ward
Abstract:: In the 1980s, resource managers were increasingly concerned about effects of timber harvest on ungulates in National Forests. Land and resource management plans incorporated restrictions on timber harvest to maintain cover for Rocky Mountain elk (CeNus e/aphus ne/soni V. Bailey) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus RafinesqueJ, and habitat models...

Historical and current forest landscapes in Eastern Oregon and Washington. Part 2. Linking vegetation characteristics to potential fire behavior and related smoke production

Creator:: Huff, Mark H., Ottmar, Roger D., Alvarado, Ernesto, Vinnanek, Robert E., Lehmkuhl, John F., Hessburg, Paul F., and Everett, Richard L.
Abstract:: We compared the potential fire behavior and smoke production of historical and current time periods based on vegetative conditions in forty-nine 5100- to 13 500-hectare watersheds in six river basins in eastern Oregon and Washington. Vegetation composition, structure, and patterns were attributed and mapped from aerial photographs taken from 1932...

Fire history and pattern in a Cascade Range landscape

Creator:: Morrison, Peter H. and Swanson, Frederick J.
Abstract:: Fire history from years 1150 to 1985 was reconstructed by analyzing forest stands in two 1940-hectare areas in the central-western Cascade Range of Oregon. Serving as records for major fire episodes, these stands revealed a highly variable fire regime. The steeper, more dissected, lower elevation Cook-Quentin study area experienced more...
