Using Tabu Search to solve tactical forest planning problems with spatial wildlife habitat goals and constraints

Creator:: Boston, Kevin Donald
Abstract:: A method was developed to formulate and solve a fifty-year tactical harvest scheduling problem that included spatial wildlife habitat goals and constraints for a 4800-acre watershed in Northwestern Oregon under four scenarios. Three goals and two habitat constraints were included in each scenario. The first goal was a volume goal....

Applications of Soil Science in Forest Landscape Planning : Challenges and Opportunities in the 21st Century

Creator:: Craigg, Terry Lee
Abstract:: Soils and other resource programs in both public land management agencies and private industry are continually being adapted to the challenges of evolving knowledge and experience in the field of forestry. This dissertation explores new ways of thinking about and using soils information in forest planning and management, with a...

Optimizing the primary forest products supply chain : a multi-objective heuristic approach

Creator:: Hamann, Jeff D.
Abstract:: This thesis is a collection of four submitted manuscripts that present methods to assist forest ecosystem service managers wanting to develop operational sampling, monitoring, and production plans for a set of specific quantifiable ecosystem services, which are formulated as a series of general multi-objective optimization problems. The problems are solved...

Effects of forest management on fish habitat and macroinvertebrates in northeast Oregon streams

Creator:: Carlson, Joan Y.
Abstract:: This study describes streams in the Blue Mountains and Wallowa Mountains of Northeastern Oregon in order to characterize the interactions between the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and to determine how logging affects those relationships. Five stream reach pairs, each consisting of an undisturbed reach and a similar reach flowing through...

A physical and chemical characterization of stream water draining three Oregon Coast Range catchments

Creator:: Hale, V. Cody
Abstract:: Few studies have examined both long-term and fine-scale spatial variations in water quality of small streams in the Pacific Northwest. As such, a case study was conducted to determine if current physical and chemical properties of water in three streams located in the Oregon Coast Range differed from historically measured...

Aquatic invertebrate-habitat relationships and stream channel cross section area change in response to streamside management zones in North Central Mississippi

Creator:: Luecker, Terry A.
Abstract:: The southern states lead the country in timber production and are subject to Best Management Practices (BMPs) designed to mediate the effects of forest harvesting on water quality. Small headwater streams on timberland in North Central Mississippi have received little attention with respect to effectiveness of the BMPs designed to...

Thinning with prescribed fire and timber harvesting mechanization for fuels reduction and forest restoration

Creator:: Matzka, Peter J.
Abstract:: In the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon, prescribed fire and mechanical harvesting economics were investigated for fuels reduction and forest restoration. Using a cut-to-length harvesting system, three single-grip harvesters and three forwarders produced significantly different production rates. For the harvesters, significant variables that affected production rates were found to be:...

Belowground carbon storage and soil organic matter quality following fertilizer and herbicide applications in ponderosa pine plantations along a site-quality gradient in northern California

Creator:: McFarlane, Karis J., 1979-
Abstract:: Belowground carbon (C) storage and quality of soil organic matter (SOM) in forest soils have implications for sustainable forest management and C sequestration, but how these pools change in response to management is poorly understood. I investigated whether fertilization and competing vegetation control, applied alone or in combination early in...

Assessing the sustainability of management practices for planted forests across an environmental gradient in New Zealand

Creator:: Kiyvyra, Alicia L.
Abstract:: Sustainable management of planted forests requires maintenance of soil function to promote 1) root growth; 2) storage and cycling of water and nutrients; 3) optimal gas exchange; and 4) biological activity. Soil quality measurements can be used to monitor short- and long-term changes in these soil functions, allowing managers to...
