Simulating Effects of Genetic Tree Improvement on Growth and Yield of Coastal Douglas-fir

Creator:: Joo, Sukhyun
Abstract:: Estimating volume gains in genetically improved stands at rotation age is challenging because first-generation progeny tests in Douglas-fir were typically established to measure the relative growth performance of individual trees from open-pollinated parent trees. The overall goal of this dissertation research was to improve growth simulation of genetically improved Douglas-fir...

The impact of microclimate variation on budburst phenology within a mature Douglas-fir tree (Pseudostuga menziesii)

Creator:: Miller, Rebecca A.
Abstract:: Budburst, the initiation of annual growth in plants, is sensitive to climate variation and is therefore used to monitor physiological responses to climate change. Budburst timing can vary between regions of an individual tree, but this phenomenon it is unaccounted for in current monitoring efforts and may contribute to the...

Douglas-fir: The Genus Pseudotsuga

Creator:: Lavender, Denis P. and Hermann, Richard K.
Abstract:: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) has a wide distribution in North America and is one of the tree species most widely distributed outside its natural range. The species has been introduced to Europe, New Zealand, South America, and elsewhere around the world. At present, Douglas-fir is an accepted and integral part of...

Early genetic selection for wood stiffness in juvenile Douglas-fir and western hemlock

Creator:: Urhan, Oguz S.
Abstract:: Wood modulus of elasticity (MOE), also known as wood stiffness, is one of the most important wood properties. Wood stiffness is a measure of the resistance to deflection, and is important because some products such as laminated veneer lumber, plywood, and dimension lumber require stiff and strong wood. Incorporating wood...

Introduction to conifer release [2014]

Creator:: Huff, Tristan, Cloughesy, Mike, Duddles, Ralph E., and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Successful regeneration of forest stands often requires that crop trees be released from competing vegetation. This publication provides basic information on how to determine if release is necessary and methods for release.

Estimating spatial changes in acoustic velocity in felled Douglas-fir stems

Creator:: Dowding, Bodie
Abstract:: To compete with other building materials, the wood products industry must find a way to increase value and lower costs. Wood stiffness is important for most wood uses. Value can be increased and costs can be lowered by sorting logs for stiffness in the woods using acoustic devices mounted on...

Interactions Between Wild Bee Communities and Douglas-fir Beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsugae) Populations in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsugae menziezii) Forests of the Intermountain West

Creator:: Foote, Gabriel G.
Abstract:: This work combines both applied and basic research regarding previously undescribed relationships between two ecologically and economically important insect groups in coniferous forests, bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) and wild bee (Hymenoptera: Apiformes) communities in Western North America. Across the continent, native bark beetle outbreaks are key drivers of structural...

Simulating Wood Properties in the Context of a Growth and Yield Model for Planted Douglas-fir

Creator:: Osborne, Nathaniel L.
Abstract:: Forest growth and yield models are critical to supporting decision making in forestry, but often lack considerations for wood properties. The feasibility of simulating wood properties in the context of a Douglas-fir individual tree growth and yield model was evaluated. This assessment explored the effect of predicted sapwood width, stem...

Modeling air-drying of Douglas-fir and hybrid poplar biomass in Oregon

Creator:: Kim, Dong-Wook
Abstract:: Both transportation costs and market values of woody biomass are strongly linked to the amount of moisture in the woody biomass. Therefore, managing moisture in the woody biomass well can lead to significant advantages in the woody biomass energy business. In this study, two prediction models were developed to estimate...

Using Acoustic Measurements and Inventory Data to Estimate Stiffness in Standing Douglas-Fir Trees

Creator:: Delgado Trejo, Jorge Luis
Abstract:: Total US lumber production in 2011 was 77.9 million cubic meters. Its primary use was for housing and construction. There is a growing concern that the structural properties for wood are being reduced as trees are harvested at much younger ages as the wood supply shifts from older to younger...
