A review of the social component of ecosystem assessments with recommendations for Oregon

Creator:: Armstrong, Catriona M. M.
Abstract:: Large-scale ecosystem assessments aim to assist ecosystem management by synthesizing current scientific knowledge on an area, and by providing a foundation for policy discussions and decisions on land management. These assessments go beyond traditional research efforts by moving away from narrow scope, system, and institutional boundaries, and by attempting to...

A conceptual framework for regional recreation planning : with an example from the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Hospodarsky, Denver
Abstract:: The concept of large-scale natural resources planning and management is not new. The idea that resources and their human users occur as systems over large geographic areas has a long established tradition in forest, range, water, and air management sciences.

A choice experiment analysis of public preferences for conservation of biological diversity in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Garber-Yonts, Brian E.
Abstract:: Ecosystem management has become an increasingly mainstream paradigm for natural resource management. Nowhere is this more evident than on the public and private forestland of the Pacific Northwest. While ecosystem management has become a widely accepted principle of resource management, substantial questions remain about its implementation. A case in point...

An analysis of technical efficiency and productivity growth in the Pacific Northwest sawmill industry

Creator:: Helvoigt, Ted L.
Abstract:: The objective of this project was to investigate technical efficiency and productivity growth in the Pacific Northwest sawmilling industry over the period 1968-2002. Productivity growth was decomposed into three components: technical change, efficiency change, and scale efficiency change. In addition, using econometric methods, changes in output elasticities and input substitution...

(Re)claiming forestry : a case study of women's empowerment

Creator:: Redmore, Lauren E.
Abstract:: Nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) owners control a significant portion of forestland nationwide. Even though women own or manage NIPF lands, we know very little about how women manage forestland and what barriers women face in forest management. In addition, while there are several forestry organizations available to NIPF owners, few...

Public knowledge, preferences and involvement in adaptive ecosystem management

Creator:: Williams, Robert Lawrence
Abstract:: Few studies analyze the relationship between ecological knowledge and public preferences for natural resource management options. The Central Cascades Adaptive Management Area (CCAMA) and McKenzie watershed of western Oregon provides an opportunity to examine the relationship. This research project employs a mixed model approach to explore public knowledge of forest...

Encounters, norms, crowding, management, and behavioral responses of visitors at coastal state parks in Oregon

Creator:: Mouw, Wesley J.
Abstract:: With the baby boomer cohort retiring and arguably having more time for outdoor recreation, coupled with population increases and government agencies encouraging people to recreate outdoors, areas such as state and national parks will likely continue seeing high visitation. It is imperative, therefore, for outdoor recreation managers and researchers to...

Underrepresentation of minorities in natural resource professions : an examination of African Americans

Creator:: Ponds, Phadrea D.
Abstract:: The fact that African Americans are under represented in the natural resource professions is well known and commonly acknowledged. Terms such as conspicuously absent, manifest imbalance and zero representation have all been used to describe the current status of African American natural resource professionals. The data suggests that in the...

Empirical modeling of windthrow occurrence in streamside buffer strips

Creator:: Drake, Timothy P.
Abstract:: Streamside buffer strips provide numerous benefits to stream ecosystems. The buffer strips create shade, provide shelter for wildlife, act as barriers to logging debris during and after timber harvest, and serve as a continued source of large woody debris. Quantifying woody inputs resulting from windthrow provides managers with estimates for...

Keying forest stream protection to aquatic ecosystem values in multi-ownership watersheds

Creator:: Pickard, Brian R.
Abstract:: Forested lands of western Oregon provide aquatic habitat for many fish and riparian dependent species, including a wide variety of salmon species. Current policies set riparian protections using fixed buffers on streams for federal and private lands based on stream type or size. These buffers can create a series of...
