R&D investment and productivity in the U.S. and Canadian food processing sectors

Creator:: Chan-Kang, Connie
Abstract:: Increased competition brought about by trade liberalization has raised the stakes for improving productivity in U.S. and Canadian food processing. A key element of productivity growth is technological change, which in turn results from R&D investment. The present study employs an econometric model to assess rates of technological change and...

Height-diameter and volume equations, growth intercept and needle length site quality indicators, and yield equations for young ponderosa pine plantations in Neuquén, Patagonia, Argentina

Creator:: Gonda, Hector Eduardo
Abstract:: Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) is the most widely planted species in the Patagonian Andes region of Argentina for economic development. However, information on site quality and yield is so limited that potential forest investors and managers do not have a reliable basis on which to make sound...

The population dynamics and growth of salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) and thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus)

Creator:: Maxwell, Bruce D.
Abstract:: Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) and thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus) are clonal shrub species common to reforestation sites in the Oregon Coast Range. These species have economic importance, because they reduce conifer seedling growth and survival. A population modeling approach was used to facilitate study of the biology of these species and to...

Repeated sequences associated with inversions and length mutations in the chloroplast genomes of Pseudotsuga and Pinus

Creator:: Hipkins, Valerie D.
Abstract:: To help understand the mechanisms of conifer chloroplast genome evolution, we characterized the nucleotide sequences of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesiz) and Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) chioroplast DNA that are associated with a length mutation hotspot and inversion. The chloroplast DNA ofthese two conifers are characterized by shared large inversions that are...

Population dynamics of three early seral herb species in Pacific Northwest forests

Creator:: Hanson, D. Eric
Abstract:: I investigated the population dynamics of fireweed (Epilobium angustfolium), foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) , and woodland groundsel (Senecio sylvaticus) to understand their colonization, persistence, and extirpation in Pacific Northwest Douglas-fir forests. Factors affecting the species' frequency and abundance in forest communities were evaluated. Their population dynamics were modeled and field experiments...

Evaluation of allelopathy as a mechanism by which buckwheat suppresses Canada thistle and its mycorrhizae

Creator:: Eskelsen, Steven R.
Abstract:: Experiments were conducted to determine if allelopathy is a mechanism by which buckwheat interferes with a) the growth of Canada thistle and/or b) mycorrhizae colonization in Canada thistle roots. In a competition experiment, buckwheat plant biomass was only affected by the intraspecific competition from other buckwheat plants and not by...

Operating in an uneven-age management prescription

Creator:: Alarid, Steven
Abstract:: Forest managers in recent years have begun to re-examine the possibilities of using uneven-age silvicultural systems in the Oregon Coast Range. This increasing interest is being driven by a variety of forest resource nianagement concerns, including wildlife habitat diversity, visual aesthetics, and long-term sustained yield. In an effort to begin...
