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...

Creator:: Ritchie, Martin W.
Abstract:: Disaggregative and individual-tree/distance-independent modeling methods are compared and contrasted. Differences between the two are related to differences in functional and apparent resolution and may be illustrated using aggregation theory. When considering models of different levels of resolution describing a given phenomenon, invariance with respect to the aggregation implied (symmetry) may...

Creator:: Lefebvre, Robert F.
Abstract:: Controlling competing vegetation with the application of herbicides and increased seedling size at planting has been shown to increase seedling survival and growth. These two important reforestation tools have often been studied independently of each other, limiting comparisons that can be made between them. This study utilized a factorial treatment...

Creator:: Wilson, Duncan Steil, 1969-
Abstract:: The relationship between annual foliage production and nitrogen and water stress was examined in 14 naturally regenerated, mid-rotation ponderosa pine stands in central Oregon. Current-year and older foliage masses, and foliage nitrogen contents and concentration were estimated from 132 destructively sampled trees. Litterfall mass and nitrogen retranslocation rates from senescing...

Creator:: Garber, Sean M.
Abstract:: Knowledge of stand structure, stand dynamics, and production ecology of species mixtures lags well behind that of single-species, even-aged stands. Two mixed-species spacing trials in central Oregon allowed investigation of mixed-species dynamics in a controlled experimental setting. The first site, Pringle Butte, is a mixture of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa...
