A decision support system for mechanized harvesting

Creator:: Steffert, Alan H.
Abstract:: When considering a mechanized harvesting operation, the harvest planner or researcher is faced with a multitude of modern equipment choices. A decision support system (DSS) is presented to assist in selecting the appropriate level of mechanization. The DSS examines individual machines and formulates mechanized harvesting systems from them that adequately...

Nonspecific root decline in Douglas-fir trees due to urban soils syndrome

Creator:: Torres, Peter
Abstract:: Urban soils syndrome, the deterioration of soil at developed sites, acts as a primary disease agent, causing root system necrosis by physical damage to root tissue. This condition predisposes Douglas-fir trees to attack by fungal pathogens, including Armillaria ostoyae, brown rotters like Phaeolus schweinitzii, and a variety of minor pathogens....

Forestry in Argentina: the use of needle length as a site quality indicator of young ponderosa pine plantations in northern Patagonia

Creator:: McAndrews, Margaret A.
Abstract:: Needle length in young ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws var. ponderosa) was assessed for its ability to estimate site quality of afforested land in Neuquén, Argentina. The objective was to determine the best aspect on the tree, number of needle age classes, and number of trees that would...
