Forest biomass estimation with hemispherical photography for multiple forest types and various atmospheric conditions

Creator:: Clark, Joshua Andrew
Abstract:: The importance of accurately identifying inventories of domestic energy, including forest biomass, has increasingly become a priority of the US government and its citizens as the cost of fossil fuels has risen. It is useful to identify which of these resources can be processed and transported at the lowest cost...

Inter-annual variability of net primary productivity across multiple spatial scales in the western Oregon Cascades : methods of estimation and examination of spatial coherence

Creator:: Woolley, Travis J.
Abstract:: Quantifying and modeling processes involved in the global carbon cycle is important to evaluate the temporal and spatial variability of these processes and understand the effect of this variability on future response to changing climate and land use patterns. Biomass accumulation and Net Primary Productivity (NPP) are large components of...

Relationship between allometric variables and biomass in western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis)

Creator:: Sabin, Breanna S.
Abstract:: A tenfold expansion of western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis spp. occidentalis) into the sagebrush steppe has led to the degradation of the economic and ecological potential of these landscapes. Land managers have enacted numerous methods to reduce distributions and densities of these trees. Assessment of above ground juniper biomass, expressed overall...

Tarif access tables : a comprehensive set

Creator:: Bowers, S. (Steven Clay), Coleman, Nate, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Tarif access and tree volume tables in this publication are for Douglas-fir, grand fir, ponderosa pine, red alder, western hemlock, and western redcedar. Tarif numbers range from 15 to 60, allowing you to estimate virtually any tree volume for the listed species, based on diameter at breast height (DBH) and...

Tools for measuring your forest

Creator:: Bowers, S. (Steven Clay) and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Woodland owners routinely want to measure property acreage, boundaries, ground slope, various characteristics of standing timber, and individual log volumes. Different tools are required for each of these tasks.

The presence and characterization of measurement error in forestry

Creator:: Canavan, Sean Joseph
Abstract:: Measurement error (ME) is a component of any study involving the use of actual measurements, but is often not recognized or is ignored. The consequences of MEs on estimates of tree and stand attributes and the parameters and predictions of forest models can be varied and severe, including the presence...

Remote sensing of forest aboveground biomass using the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System

Creator:: Pflugmacher, Dirk
Abstract:: Accurate estimates of forest aboveground biomass are needed to reduce uncertainties in the terrestrial carbon flux. The Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) onboard the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite is now the first spaceborne lidar sensor that will provide global estimates of vegetation height. This study investigated the utility...

Converting forest biomass to energy in Oregon : stakeholder perspectives on a growing movement

Creator:: Stidham, Melanie
Abstract:: Within Oregon there is considerable interest in the possibility of converting woody biomass to energy. This interest stems from three converging factors: the desire to reduce the threat of uncharacteristic wildfire by removing excess material from the forests, the possibility to stimulate rural economies that are dependent on forest products,...

Stand volume and growth : getting the numbers

Creator:: Bowers, S. (Steven Clay), Coleman, Nate, Fletcher, Richard A., and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: The procedures outlined in this publication show you how to estimate standing volume and annual growth of timber stands—areas that are uniform in age, stand characteristics, and species. Estimates of volume and growth are helpful in planning when to harvest or how much to remove in a thinning operation. These...

Measuring timber products harvested from your woodland

Creator:: Oester, Paul T., Bowers, S. (Steven Clay), and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: This publication describes measurements used to buy and sell timber products. Managing woodland property offers you the opportunity to harvest a variety of products, depending on timber quality and quantity, harvest economics, and market availability. Among these products are saw logs, peeler logs, pulpwood, fuelwood, poles, piling, and posts. Knowledge...
