Riparian vegetation and abundance of woody debris in streams of southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Ursitti, Victoria L.
Abstract:: Riparian vegetation (trees > 10 cm dbh), woody debris (> 10 cm diam, > 1 m long), channel, and landform characteristics were inventoried in mature (80-150 yrs) and old-growth riparian areas (>250 yrs) selected from small tributaries of the Coos and Coquille River basins in southwestern Oregon. Basal area of...

Timber harvesting and marketing practices on NIPF lands in western Oregon

Creator:: Bennett, Max, 1963-
Abstract:: Two hundred and fifty-four nonindustrial private forest landowners in western Oregon were surveyed to develop baseline information about harvesting practices and to examine the influence of marketing procedures on delivered log prices. Most respondents harvested to meet income or silvicultural objectives. Harvests on ownerships less than 50 acres in size...

Heuristic solution techniques for a spatial harvest scheduling problem involving wildlife habitat and timber income

Creator:: Sharer, Brian K.
Abstract:: Three heuristic techniques: simulated annealing (SA), tabu search (TS), and tabu search with strategic oscillation (TSSO), were used to schedule silvicultural activities designed to accelerate development of older forest structure at both stand and landscape scales over a 2450 acre forest located in northwestern Oregon. Goals for the forest over...

A model for the economic evaluation of training alternatives for complex logging tasks

Creator:: Garland, John J.
Abstract:: Training of woodsworkers is described as important for the logging industry in Oregon. There has been little documentation of training gains or research that measures the effects of training from the perspective of the logging firm. Learning theories are evaluated and Towill's form of learning curves are selected for an...

Effects of streamside riparian forest management on Ephemeroptera and Trichoptera community structure in four western Oregon streams

Creator:: Walsh, Jennifer B. S.
Abstract:: In order to restore conifers in hardwood dominated riparian forests 25% of the experimental reach forests alongside four streams in western Oregon was clearcut. Clearcutting removed 400 m without residual buffers from a 1600-m streamside forest reach in patchcuts spanning 100 and 200 meters. To assess the cumulative and direct...

Habitat use by cavity-nesting birds in young thinned and unthinned Douglas-fir forests of western Oregon

Creator:: Weikel, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: There is limited information on how to manage young forests of the Pacific Northwest to benefit wildlife populations. Commercial thinning is becoming more important in young forests both as a tool for timber management and to hasten the development of old-forest characteristics. There is some evidence that many species of...

Response of terrestrial vertebrates to three silvicultural treatments in the Central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Chambers, Carol Louise, 1958-
Abstract:: Growing concerns over maintaining animal and plant biodiversity have led to significant changes in forest management policies in the Pacific Northwest. Silvicultural alternatives to clear cutting are being suggested to promote development, retention, or creation of late-successional features such as large trees, multilayered canopies, snags and logs. As alternative management...

The Limber Jim case study : production and economics of a skyline system in a thinning/fuels reduction setting of a mixed conifer stand in the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Doyal, James A.
Abstract:: Forest managers in the Blue Mountains, of northeastern Oregon are currently faced with vast areas of forests with health problems and high fuel loadings. These conditions resulted from a combination of insect infestations, past management practices and the elimination of fire from the local ecosystems. These forests are now overstocked,...
