Designing improved management techniques for the forest of the Central African Republic using the Siuslaw National Forest as a model

Creator:: Iddy, Gregoire
Abstract:: This study outlines a procedure to review and identify the current forest management situation and techniques employed on the Alsea District of the Siuslaw National Forest (SNF) in Western Oregon and compare them to the situation and techniques employed on the Bimbo-Lobaye Forest District (BLFD) in the Central African Republic...

Developing a multimedia tree identification CD-ROM

Creator:: Zahler, David A.
Abstract:: Providing students with the skills necessary to identify trees is an ongoing challenge at Oregon State University. Several colleges within the university offer courses that teach tree identification. In the College of Forestry alone, two courses are offered that emphasize identification of native and introduced trees. The content and format...

The story of fire on Deschutes National Forest

Creator:: Eckert, Bradley E.
Resource Type:: Capstone Project

Modeling crown profile of Douglas-fir in the Western Willamette Valley

Creator:: Mortzheim, Joseph T.
Abstract:: Crown profile was modeled using a system of equations with three components. The first equation predicts the maximum crown width of an open grown tree based on the tree's diameter at breast height. The second equation modifies maximum crown width to represent the largest width of the crown in stand...

A comparison of the value of forest plans developed under three levels of detail regarding management intentions

Creator:: Hirte, Sarah Rebecca
Abstract:: In the field of forest planning, assumptions regarding the appropriate modeling of management behavior, translated through management prescriptions, minimum harvest ages, green-up periods, and other variables are needed if a stand-level optimization process is not used to guide the selection of stand management regimes Forest planners thus generally have a...

Tradeoffs associated with managing forested landscapes for multiple-uses

Creator:: Lichtenstein, Mark E.
Abstract:: This study focuses on the tradeoffs that exist for managing forested landscapes for biodiversity and timber production. Tradeoff evaluation is important to natural resource managers so they can understand the benefits and costs of alternative management prescriptions. The study examines three watersheds in the Oregon Coast Range and 166 terrestrial...

Stand level silvicultural optimization utilizing a late-seral index constraint

Creator:: Semeliss, Wade Alan
Abstract:: A dynamic programming algorithm (MS PATH) was used to develop a stand level optimization model, FPS Optimizer. The model incorporates a late-seral constraint on the profit maximizing objective function utilizing a four-descriptor structural index as a proxy. This index, the 'Old-Growth Index', rates the late-seral structural quality of a given...

Growing stock assessment and growth prediction system for managed hill dipterocarp forest of Peninsular Malaysia

Creator:: Kassim, Abd. Rahman
Abstract:: The silviculture of mixed dipterocarp forests of Peninsular Malaysia can potentially be improved by developing quantitative tools and guidelines for this forest type. This thesis addresses three key objectives; 1) to test the hypothesis that a maximum size-density relationship can be identified in hill dipterocarp forests of Peninsular Malaysia, 2)...

Mental and biophysical terrains of biodiversity : conservation of oak woodland on family forest

Creator:: Fischer, Alexandra Paige
Abstract:: This research analyzes how family forest owners conceptualize biodiversity in one high-conservation value area of oak woodland in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon. Oregon white oak (Quercus garyanna) woodland, one of the most biologically diverse ecotypes in the state of Oregon, is in decline. Much of the oak ecotype...

Analyzing multiple worldviews of forestry : local perceptions of the 1994 fires on the Wenatchee National Forest, Washington

Creator:: Findley, Angela J.
Abstract:: In the social context, distinct worldviews provide multiple, subjective, durable and conflicting views of natural resource situations. This research analyzes worldviews that shape people's perceptions, understandings and evaluations of forests and forestry in order to examine conflict associated with forestry issues. Differences in local residents' views of wildland fires and...
