Evaluation of management alternatives for an undeveloped, forested area in Oregon's coast range

Creator:: Johnson, Kenneth Norman
Abstract:: One of the most vexing problems facing the United States Forest Service in Western Oregon concerns its management of undeveloped forested lands. Many of these areas contain highly productive timberland, and restriction of timber harvesting to preserve the land's primitive character can be very costly. Also there are conflicting pressures...

Objectives and attitudes of nonindustrial small-forest owners in Lane County, Oregon

Creator:: Martin, David Carl
Abstract:: Sixty nonindustrial small-forest owners were interviewed in Lane County, Oregon to determine their objectives for forest lands, and knowledge of and attitudes toward public assistance in forestry. Owners were randomly sampled from a preselected size class of 10 to 200 acres. A formal questionnaire was used to measure forest land...

The economic consequences of intensifying forest management in Douglas County, Oregon

Creator:: Dippon, Duane R.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to measure the consequences of alternative forest management intensification programs. These consequences include future harvest levels, silvicultural labor and capital requirements, and the income and employment generated directly and indirectly. The system utilizes the Timber Resource Economic Estimation System (TREES) model, a harvest scheduling...

Determining the cost of old-growth set-asides on the OSU college forest

Creator:: Birch, Kevin R.
Abstract:: The objectives for the use of the Oregon State University college forest include providing both facilities for research and teaching, and providing funding through timber harvest. The older age-classes of the forest are valuable for attaining both objectives. The opportunities and costs of removing acreage in the older age classes...

Silvicultural and financial analysis of three case studies in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Rudd, Christopher Channing
Abstract:: Three data sets were examined to determine the costs with and without constrained forest management practices. Two adjacent sites in the Coast Range of Oregon were studied. One of the units was broadcast burned while the adjacent site was left unburned. The stands were projected for growth and yield in...

A comparison of three certification systems with the 2005 McDonald-Dunn Forest plan revision

Creator:: Starker, Anna
Abstract:: This study compares the requirements of three forest certification systems, the Sustainable Forestry Institute (SFI), the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), with the 2005 McDonald-Dunn Forest Plan Revision. The analysis was done with a series of matrices comparing the requirements of SFI and FSC...

A management plan for the Bear Creek watershed of the city of Drain, Oregon

Creator:: Horne, Gerard Fowler
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

A study of optimal timing and intensity of silvicultural practices : commercial and precommercial thinning, fertilization and regeneration effort

Creator:: Kao, Chiang
Abstract:: One traditional problem in forest management is to find the optimal stand level management regime. Four important silvicultural practices including precommercial thinning, commercial thinning, fertilization and regeneration harvest are considered jointly in this study. The partial analyses, i.e. considering some of the silvicultural practices, are also discussed. The inability to...

The potential contribution of a diameter class matrix model to predict growth of mixed tropical forests

Creator:: Ebaa-Atyi, Richard
Abstract:: The study presents two main parts: first, a review of tropical silviculture and forest management systems and, second, the investigation of a growth and yield model which has some potential for application in the tropical region. The presentation of tropical silviculture includes: (1) an overview of the biological characteristics of...
