The extent and implications of specified resource site protection in Oregon

Creator:: Giampaoli, Peter Paul
Abstract:: The protection of sensitive resources is an integral part of forest practices regulations in many states, affecting non-industrial private forest (NIPF) landowners. In Oregon, forest operations on private lands which will conflict with sensitive areas designated "specified resource sites" must meet spatial and temporal requirements to protect those sites. These...

Production and costs of cut-to-length thinning : experience from the Willamette Young Stand Project

Creator:: Kellogg, L. D. (Loren D.), Spong, Ben, and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Young Douglas-fir stands were commercially thinned to achieve vegetation- and wildlife-related objectives. Harvesting and forwarding production and costs were compared among three mechanized thinning treatments: light thin [(115 residual trees per acre (tpa)], light thin with 0.5-ac openings (92 residual tpa), and heavy thin (53 residual tpa). The sites were...

Shrub epiphyte communities in relation to stand management in forests of western Oregon

Creator:: Rosso, Abbey L.
Abstract:: This dissertation describes the epiphyte communities on tall shrubs in forests of western Oregon, with a focus on potential effects of management practices on these communities. Shrubs and other hardwoods have recently gained recognition as hotspots of diversity for epiphytes in young conifer forests of the region. Yet little is...

An analysis of Benton County small businesses' emergency and disaster preparedness

Creator:: Chona, Tiffany L.
Abstract:: Natural Hazards are a potential risk to Benton County small businesses. However, little has been done to help prepare, respond, recover or resume business following a significant disastrous event. 93 small businesses in Benton County responded to a mailed survey, and 10 additional small businesses participated in both mailed surveys...

Vegetation response following thinning in young Douglas-fir forests of western Oregon : can thinning accelerate development of late-successional structure and composition?

Creator:: Beggs, Liane R.
Abstract:: Across western Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, forest management practices over the past century reduced the amount of late-successional forest while simultaneously increasing the amount of young (less than 80 years old), managed Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) dominated forests. Recently, concerns over loss of late-successional habitat pushed management objectives on public...

Habitat relationships of small terrestrial vertebrates and invertebrates in managed forests in the southern Oregon Cascades

Creator:: McDade, Kirsten Ayn
Abstract:: Silviculture systems that involve commercial thinning may provide higher quality wildlife habitat than traditional clearcut systems, yet such systems have not been vigorously tested. This prospective study examined forest floor animal abundance and habitat relationships under three different silviculture conditions: clearcuts, commercial thins, and uncuts. Eighteen stands, six per treatment,...

Historical disturbance regimes as a reference for forest policy

Creator:: Thompson, Jonathan R.
Abstract:: Using the historical range of forest conditions as a reference for managing landscapes has been proposed as a "coarse-filter" approach to biodiversity conservation. By emulating historical disturbance processes, it is thought that forest management can produce forest composition and structure similar to the conditions that once supported the native biota....

Disturbance and landscape history as a reference for evaluating forest management effects at a regional scale : examples from the Coast Range of Oregon, USA

Creator:: Nonaka, Etsuko
Abstract:: History is an invaluable source of information to understand and evaluate management influences on contemporary ecosystems and landscapes. The first two chapters (Chapters 2 and 3) explored the concept of historical range of variability (HRV) in landscape structure and stand structure using a stochastic fire simulation model to simulate presettlement...
