Factors affecting rural land value in the central coastal zone of Oregon

Creator:: Hartsook, Thomas Edward
Abstract:: The physical characteristics and spatial location of land are hypothesized to be significant inputs to its valuation. This research evaluates the influence of locational, economic, and physical site variables on the assessed value of real property. Evaluation of such influences is based on a stratified systematic sample of land parcels...

Age structure, developmental pathways, and fire regime characterization of Douglas-fir/western hemlock forests in the central western Cascades of Oregon

Creator:: Tepley, Alan J.
Abstract:: Descriptions of the fire regime in the Douglas-fir/western hemlock region of the Pacific Northwest traditionally have emphasized infrequent, predominantly stand-replacement fires and an associated linear pathway of stand development, where all stands proceed along a common pathway until reset by the next fire. Although such a description may apply in...
