  • The use of motor carrier weigh station reports in commodity flow analysis of the Oregon forest products industry - 1976

    Creator:
    Howes, Edwin R.
    Abstract:
    Data on motor carrier commodity weights collected in 1976 at Oregon weigh stations by the Public Utilities Commission and the Department of Transportation are not in a form that readily allows for commodity flow analysis. A methodology is presented that reduces existing forest product commodity data into a graphically displayed...

  • Multi-Centennial Response of ENSO Under Varying Atmospheric CO2

    Creator:
    Alder, Jay R.
    Abstract:
    The El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) affects millions of people via global teleconnections in the form of drought and torrential rainfall that impact agriculture and food production in many countries. Yet how ENSO will respond to a warming world is uncertain and a greatly debated topic. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate...

  • Wildland fire hazard in Humboldt County, California

    Creator:
    Millar, Brian D.
    Abstract:
    Humboldt County has several areas which have naturally high to extreme wildland fire hazards. Recent settlement within these areas increases the likelihood of a destructive fire. This report examines the extent and degree to which climate, slope and vegetation influence the wildland fire hazard in Humboldt County, as well as...

  • Terrain sensitivity of Oregon coastal sand areas

    Creator:
    Starr, Richard Merritt
    Abstract:
    Based on a pilot study completed near Heceta Beach, Oregon, guidelines have been proposed for the development of Oregon coastal sand areas. The guidelines, in the form of performance standards are designed with respect to the variability of coastal sand areas. Landscape units and vegetation associations were grouped to reflect...

  • Increasing the usefulness of high-altitude color infrared photography for the inventory, monitoring, and management of western wildland resources

    Creator:
    Colwell, Robert R.
    Abstract:
    This report describes the latest in a series of studies sponsored by the Nationwide Forestry Applications Program. Each such study has attempted to enhance the interpretability of remotely-sensed imagery. In this case the image type of specific interest is high-altitude color infrared (CIR) photography. This is a resource management tool...

  • The effects of lineage on spatial data quality

    Creator:
    Blair, Brent R.
    Abstract:
    When the Spatial Data Transfer Standard is adopted as a Federal Information Processing Standard, a Quality Report containing sections on lineage, accuracy, logical consistency, and completeness will be required of agencies producing digital cartographic data. This Quality Report diverges significantly from the "U.S. National Map Accuracy Standards", in place for...

  • The feasibility of implementing a campfire closure in a heavily used portion of Eagle Cap Wilderness

    Creator:
    Orr, Taylor
    Abstract:
    Gathering and burning firewood in heavily used subalpine areas contributes to campsite deterioration. Forest Service policy directs wilderness managers to implement the principle of nondegradation. As a result, campfires may be prohibited in areas where fire-related impacts are significant. The Lakes Basin and Ice Lake Travel Zones in the Eagle...
