The influence of canopy structure and epiphytes on the hydrology of Douglas-fir forests

Creator:: Pypker, Thomas G.
Abstract:: Canopy structure has a significant impact on the canopy hydrology of Douglas-fir forests in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Whole canopy rainfall interception was measured for young Douglas-fir forest and compared to an old-growth Douglas-fir forest. The old-growth forest had significantly greater canopy water storage capacity (5) and direct throughfall fraction...

Changes in grain quality and grain protein composition of winter wheat cultivars under different levels of soil nitrogen and water stress

Creator:: Saint Pierre, Carolina
Abstract:: Hard white winter (HVVW) wheat cultivars must have superior protein quality and consistent processing quality to be successful in the Asian market. New cultivars and management strategies are needed to produce HVVW grain for both bread and noodle applications from diverse environments in the US Pacific Northwest (PNW). This study...

Connections between science and business to increase environmentally-friendly food production

Creator:: Rieder, Rebekka M.
Abstract:: This study represents an internship, as a requirement of the Professional Science Masters program at Oregon State University, performed with Western Ag Innovations Inc. The study consisted of two aspects -- one business and one science oriented. The two objectives of this internship were to: 1) qualitatively evaluate how two...

Potential carbon storage at the landscape scale in the Pacific Northwest, U.S.A.

Creator:: Smithwick, Erica Ann Hoffa
Abstract:: Estimates of potential carbon (C) storage can be used to constrain predictions of future carbon sequestration and to understand the degree to which disturbances, both natural aid anthropogenic, affect C storage. An upper bound on C storage in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of the United States was estimated using field...

Simulation of Water and Energy Fluxes in an Old-Growth Seasonal Temperate Rain Forest Using the Simultaneous Heat and Water (SHAW) Model

Creator:: Link, Timothy E., Flerchinger, Gerald N., Unsworth, Mike, and Marks, Danny
Abstract:: In the Pacific Northwest (PNW), concern about the impacts of climate and land cover change on water resources and flood-generating processes emphasizes the need for a mechanistic understanding of the interactions between forest canopies and hydrologic processes. Detailed measurements during the 1999 and 2000 hydrologic years were used to modify...

The water and energy dynamics of an old-growth seasonal temperate rainforest

Creator:: Link, Timothy E.
Abstract:: In the Pacific Northwest (PNW), concern about the impacts of climate and land cover change on water resources, flood-generating processes, and ecosystem dynamics emphasize the need for a mechanistic understanding of the interactions between forest canopies and hydrological processes. A detailed measurement and modeling program during the 1999 and 2000...

Life cycle inventory of laminated veneer lumber and composite I-joist manufacturing

Creator:: Dancer, Eric R.
Abstract:: The objective of this study is to complete life cycle inventories (LCI) for laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and composite I-joist (I-joist) production in the two main forest products producing regions in the U.S., the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and Southeast (SE). LVL and I-joists are composite wood building materials that are...

Life-cycle inventory of plywood manufacturing in the Pacific Northwest and the Southeast United States

Creator:: Sakimoto, Eric T.
Abstract:: Softwood plywood is one of the structural wood products studied in the CORRIM II effort to document the environmental performance of wood product in residential structures. Life-cycle inventory (LCI) models were developed to provide performance data for plywood production by tracking all of its inputs and outputs in a gate-to-gate...

The effect of local stand structure on growth and growth efficiency in heterogeneous stands of ponderosa pine and lodgepole pine in central Oregon

Creator:: Mainwaring, Douglas B. and Maguire, Douglas A. (Douglas Alan)
Abstract:: Basal area and height growth were analyzed for individual trees in uneven-aged ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) and lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex. Loud.) stands in central Oregon. Basal area growth was modeled as a function of other stand and tree variables to address three general objectives:...

Applying the McDonaldization thesis and norm activation model to examine trends and effects of commercial outdoor recreation and tourism in Juneau, Alaska

Creator:: Janson, Sera
Abstract:: As recreation and tourism visitation increases and government budgets decrease, public land management agencies are using private commercial operators as an alternative source of offering products and services. Changes and trends in commercial outdoor recreation and tourism such as a large scale increase in the number of visitors can affect...
