Harvest scheduling and economic effects of old-growth forest preservation in northwest Oregon

Creator:: Hunt, Mary C.
Abstract:: Old-growth forests provide an important resource in terms of both timber and non-timber values. Northwest Oregon represents an area where this resource is scarce and options for preserving old-growth habitat are limited. This study identifies the old-growth resource on public lands within the area, suggests a range of preservation alternatives...

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...

Stability under the federal sustained yield unit system : assessing the achievement of community stability in the Lakeview Unit

Creator:: Olson, Douglas Charles
Abstract:: A descriptive model of community stability is developed which can be used to gauge the achievement of community stability in federal sustained yield units. Community stability is defined which provides the framework on which the model was created. The achievement of the four goals of the 1944 Sustained Yield Act...

An econometric analysis of timber demand and supply relationships on the Siuslaw National Forest

Creator:: Shih, Kung
Abstract:: To abstract the fundamental market structures of stumpage sold from the Siuslaw National Forest, a three-equation structural model with different assumptions on private cut was empirically derived. Under the private cut price-fixed assumption, the structural model can be simplified as a single-equation model with stumpage price as dependent variable and...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Use of duality values for multiple-use stand and forest planning

Creator:: Paredes-Veloso, Gonzalo L.
Abstract:: An analysis of the economics of multiple use forest planning is presented. At the forest level itself it is demonstrated the use of duality information provided by linear programming to price nonmarket commodities allocations and to establish an accounting system in multiple use forest management. The use of post-optimal activity...

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...

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...

Economies of scale in sawmilling in British Columbia

Creator:: Dobie, Jas. (James)
Abstract:: The number of sawmills in the coastal lumber-producing area of British Columbia diminished from 364 In 1955 to 162 in 1968. In the interior of the province the reduction in plant numbers was from 2125 to 740. Over the same period lumber production in the province increased from 4.9 billion...

Some financial aspects of the level of growing stock problem in managed Douglas-fir

Creator:: Alcock, Gerald William
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Model III : a sequential approach to joint optimization of the stand treatment and forest level harvest scheduling problem

Creator:: Barber, Richard L.
Abstract:: Harvest scheduling and stand level optimization have generally been regarded as separable problems. Some studies have attempted to jointly optimize a wide range of stand treatments and a forest wide harvest schedule using combinations of mathematical programming techniques. The mathematical programming forest level techniques presume perfect information on production, costs...
