Evaluating the accuracy of imputed forest biomass estimates at the project level

Creator:: Gagliasso, Donald
Abstract:: Various methods have been used to estimate the amount of above ground forest biomass across landscapes and to create biomass maps for specific stands or pixels across ownership or project areas. Without an accurate estimation method, land managers might end up with incorrect biomass estimate maps, which could lead them...

Sustainable biomass supply from fuel reduction treatments : a biomass assessment of federally owned land in eastern Oregon

Creator:: Vogler, Kevin C.
Abstract:: Wildfire exclusion over the past century or more has resulted in extensive fuel accumulations throughout much of the West that combined with recent climatic patterns have increased the frequency of relatively uncommon, large, high-severity wildfires. Forest restoration treatments intended to alter landscape-level fire disturbance patterns can be difficult to implement...

Modeling the fixed bed drying characteristics of biomass particles

Creator:: Yang, Hai
Abstract:: The fixed bed drying of western hemlock and Douglas-fir biomass particles at temperatures ranging from 50°C to 200°C and air velocities from 0.3 to 0.9 m/s was investigated. The objectives were to describe the drying characteristics of the particles, fit a model for thin-layer drying, and develop and test a...

Spatially-explicit prediction of recoverable harvesting residues

Creator:: Schmidt, Christian F. W.
Abstract:: In order to decide whether or not to develop biomass energy facilities and where to best locate them, developers and investors need accurate assessments of fuel supply. This includes information about the distribution and concentration of fuel throughout the assessment area, the quality of fuel (form, moisture content, contaminant content,...

Estimating a juniper biomass supply from private rangelands : the impact of distance and biotic factors on costs

Creator:: McCaulou, Jeff C.
Abstract:: Central Oregon has attracted attention as a potential location for a biomass industry based on a locally fixed source of western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis Hook) feedstock. This study identifies a supply of juniper from private lands to determine how much of the available juniper is economically supplied at alternative prices...

Accuracy and suitability of several stand sampling methods in riparian zones

Creator:: Marquardt, Theresa
Abstract:: Stand structure in headwater riparian areas of western Oregon is highly variable making quantification of structural attributes within these stands difficult. A reliable sampling design is important to characterize and monitor changes in stand structure over time. This study examined sixteen alternatives for sampling live conifers and six alternatives for...

Mixed conifer and hardwood forest management in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Bennett, Max, 1963-, Fitzgerald, Stephen Arthur, Main, Marty L., and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Forest landowners are interested in practicing alternative silviculture methods on their property without having to clearcut. This publication describes a case study on management of a mixed conifer and hardwood forest in southwest Oregon. The landowners’ management philosophy is to promote mature forest conditions while maintaining multiple species and age...

Distribution of Live Biomass, Herbivory and Foliar Retention in Central Oregon Lodgepole Pine (Pinus contorta ssp. murrayana) Crowns

Creator:: Burke, Adam O.
Abstract:: Lodgepole pine (Pinus conorta) is a widely distributed forest type across western North America. Central Oregon lodgepole pine forests are ecologically unique when compared to other lodgepole pine ecosystems. Sierra lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta ssp. murrayana) is the dominant variety and often exists as the climax species on pumice soils,...

Influence of log truck traffic and road hydrology on sediment yield in western Oregon

Creator:: Miller, Rebecca H.
Abstract:: An understanding of the factors that influence surface erosion from roads is necessary to prevent and mitigate sediment production from forest roads. This study investigated the impacts of log truck traffic and road hydrology on sediment yield from ten forest road segments in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains of...

Temporal effect of vegetation management on growth and wood quality of conifers in a western Oregon plantation

Creator:: Goracke, Heidi S. Roe
Abstract:: Concern over the increasing proportion of juvenile wood grown in second growth plantations has led to a large amount of research on the effects of common silvicultural practices on wood quality. Lacking is research on the effect of timing and duration of vegetation control on wood quality near the pith...
