Response of needle-litter decomposition and soil nitrogen mineralization to logging-debris manipulation and competing vegetation control in western Oregon and Washington

Creator:

Meehan, Nathan Andrew

Abstract:

Growing societal demand for forest products is pressuring managers to increase productivity from a finite land area, and it is expected that increased supply will come mostly from expansion of intensively managed stands. The USDA Forest Service and numerous collaborators created the Long-Term Soil Productivity (LTSP) network of research sites...

The influence of contemporary forest management on stream nutrient concentrations in an industrialized forest in the Oregon Cascades

Creator:

Meininger, William Scott

Abstract:

The increased demand for wood and fiber from a continually shrinking land base has resulted in the use of intensively managed forest plantations. The concentration of timber production on the most suitable sites allows the world's demand for forest products to be met on less land and enable native forests...
