A silvicultural prescription to promote long-term forest health, fire resiliency, and wildlife habitat in a central Oregon ponderosa pine stand

Creator:: Bolding, Michael Chad
Abstract:: The Tenino stand, located on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation (WSIR) near Warm Springs, Oregon, is being considered for treatment that will promote longterm forest health, fire resiliency, and wildlife habitat. The management direction for this area is outlined in two WSIR documents: 1) Integrated Resources Management Plan for the...

An evaluation of temperature prediction models on Coastal Oregon and western Cascade streams

Creator:: Tanner, Robert W.
Abstract:: Evaluations were performed on three stream temperature prediction models: Heat Source 5.6, SSTEMP 3.9, and Brown's equation. Each model was evaluated using data collected from three Coastal Oregon and two western Cascade streams. Stream temperature simulations were performed on two forested reaches, one clearcut reach, and one buffered reach, for...

Evaluating nitrogen fertilization and cycling in Pacific Northwest Douglas-fir plantations: a literature review

Creator:: Rasor, Christopher T.
Abstract:: There are many diagnostic approaches to evaluate the nutritional status of a forest stand. "Inference based on site and stand characteristics, visual symptoms, and foliar analysis are suggested to have the greatest utility in routine evaluations, while soil analysis and pot trial techniques should primarily be regarded as research tools...

FishXing: evaluation of fish passage culvert model and comparision with Oregon Department of Forestry's compliance with fish passage and peak flow requirements at stream crossings

Creator:: Morrissette, Brett A.
Abstract:: FishXing (fish crossing), a computer aided stream crossing culvert model designed to analyze fish passage through culverts was compared with results of an Oregon Department of Forestry fish passage monitoring report. FishXing was created at Humboldt State University through sponsorship from the US Forest Service, USDA, Stream Team, Six Rivers...

Forecasting harvesting production rates using GIS : a case study

Creator:: Bohle, Karina Tereza
Abstract:: Operational forest planning is characterized by a lack of formal planning often using only the intuition and experience of the forest planners. There are a number of sources of variability found in operational planning. Like most businesses there is significant variability in the demand forecasts obtained from customers. Forestry differs...

Physical characteristics of forest soils after timber harvest and tillage in central Oregon: a case study

Creator:: Litton, Sabrina
Abstract:: This study examined the effects of timber harvest and subsoiling on soil physical properties considered important to forest productivity and hydrologic concerns. Ground based mechanical timber harvesting on some soil types can cause soil disturbance including compaction. These effects in turn can influence multiple important soil physical properties that affect...

Road surface runoff for the Oak Creek watershed: the influence of hillslope and road characteristics

Creator:: Ellingson, Kami S.
Abstract:: Understanding how forest roads interact with hillslope hydrology by intercepting and/or rerouting storm runoff will better enable land managers to reduce erosion related to forest roads. Watershed scale knowledge of how culvert runoff response varies across the landscape would provide valuable information to those individuals designing and maintaining forest road...

SkidPC 2000: a mobility, production, and rut depth simulation program

Creator:: Spong, Ben D.
Abstract:: SkidPC 2000, written in Visual Basic Version 6.0, is an updated version of the 1987 DOS program that calculates the mobility and productivity of ground-based logging vehicles over a ground profile. As in the original program, the user enters the vehicle and operational conditions and the program will calculate the...

Spatial and temporal runoff response to snowmelt, and the influence of geomorphology in a headwater catchment, central eastern Cascades, Washington

Creator:: Alley, David
Abstract:: This report presents a nested gauging study of streamflow variability from three sub-catchments (150-200 ha in area) of the Burns Creek catchment (565 ha) in the Entiat Experimental Forest of central Washington State. We test and reject the hypothesis that headwater catchments of this size are composed of physically and...

Tillage of compacted soil in a thinned Douglas-fir stand in western Oregon : soil density and residual tree growth seven years after treatment

Creator:: Martinez Ben, Jesus
Abstract:: A set of 119 study trees was identified in a 65 year-old Douglas-fir stand after a thinning operation conducted seven years ago using pre-planned skid trails and groundbased machinery. Some of the trails were tilled using a winged subsoiler after this operation in order to alleviate the effect of compaction...

Transportation production planning of an eastern Oregon hybrid poplar plantation

Creator:: McNeel, Ross E.
Abstract:: The current production plan at the Potlatch Hybrid Poplar plantation in eastern Oregon is to haul 8,000 whole trees per day (170,000 bone dry Tons of chips annually) to a centrally located processing facility (CPF) where the poplar will be processed. Harvests begin in 2001 and continue on a seven-year...
