Simulating Wood Properties in the Context of a Growth and Yield Model for Planted Douglas-fir

Creator:: Osborne, Nathaniel L.
Abstract:: Forest growth and yield models are critical to supporting decision making in forestry, but often lack considerations for wood properties. The feasibility of simulating wood properties in the context of a Douglas-fir individual tree growth and yield model was evaluated. This assessment explored the effect of predicted sapwood width, stem...

Thinning effects on stand and tree growth : different perspectives on same old questions

Creator:: Romero Castaño, Pablo
Abstract:: The search for the stand density that optimizes growth and hence generates the maximum amount of wood is one of the philosopher’s stone in modern forestry. Since scientific methods were applied to forestry, numerous generations of foresters have studied the relations between stocking density and growth, obtaining diverse results and...

Response of Soil Temperature, Moisture, and Respiration Two Years Following Intensive Organic Matter and Compaction Manipulations in Oregon Cascade Forests

Creator:: Gallo, Adrian Carlos
Abstract:: Forest soils contain a substantial portion of global terrestrial carbon stores. Forest management can influence the soil carbon pool and how soil organic matter functions. The long-term productivity of forests is an ongoing goal where land managers utilize biomass and timber. A site-specific understanding of intensively managed forests can ensure...

Drivers of Productivity Differences between Native and Exotic Range Douglas-fir Plantations in Oregon and New Zealand

Creator:: Gilson, Liam W.
Abstract:: In this thesis, we first examine the principle hypotheses behind the improved exotic growth of select timber species, and the evidence for each, with special focus on studies which examine growth between several ranges of a species. We find that literature suggests environmental factors directly tied to net primary production...

Estimation of leaf area index and simulation of evapotranspiration for intensively managed Douglas-fir forests

Creator:: Rogers, Nicole S.
Abstract:: Understanding the tradeoff between water use and productivity is critical for modeling growth of intensively managed Douglas-fir forests in the Pacific Northwest. Evapotranspiration is closely linked to carbon dioxide intake during the process of photosynthesis. However, summer drought characterizing the growing season in this region imposes a limit on carbon...

Impact of Climate and Disturbance on the Formation of Earlywood and Latewood in Douglas-fir at the Salal Fields Study Site

Creator:: Gourley, Derek M. F.
Abstract:: Wood density is controlled to a large extent by the relative widths of earlywood and latewood in the stem, but the mechanisms controlling these amounts are poorly understood in coastal Douglas-fir. To understand the role of climatic factors, one hundred and thirty-six increment cores were collected and measured from the...

Assessing Mechanisms of Douglas-fir Growth Response to Operational Nitrogen Fertilization in Western Oregon

Creator:: Putney, Jacob D.
Abstract:: Nitrogen (N) fertilizer is a commonly applied silvicultural treatment in intensively managed Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] plantations. When attempting to maximize average growth responses through fertilization, landowners experience difficulty prioritizing stands for treatment based on the likely magnitude of response and return on the operational investment. Field trials were...

Simulating Effects of Genetic Tree Improvement on Growth and Yield of Coastal Douglas-fir

Creator:: Joo, Sukhyun
Abstract:: Estimating volume gains in genetically improved stands at rotation age is challenging because first-generation progeny tests in Douglas-fir were typically established to measure the relative growth performance of individual trees from open-pollinated parent trees. The overall goal of this dissertation research was to improve growth simulation of genetically improved Douglas-fir...

Douglas-fir (Psuedotsuga menziesii) biomass and nutrient removal under varying harvest scenarios involving co-production of timber and feedstock for liquid biofuels

Creator:: Coons, Kristin L.
Abstract:: In this study an improved model of biomass and nutrient estimation of coastal Douglas-fir (Psuedotsuga menziesii) in the Pacific Northwest has been developed across a wide range of stand management regimes. This study quantifies and defines the type and intensity of biomass harvest and associated removal for actively managed stands...

Modeling Tree Size Distribution in Young Douglas-fir Plantations to Facilitate Tree List Generation for Growth Model Initiation at Different Ages and under Differing Silvicultural Regimes

Creator:: Uranga, Martin
Abstract:: Two key challenges emerge when initiating individual-tree growth models for bare ground or very young plantations. Both involve the need for a list of individual trees with known or predicted size and known expansion factor (number of trees per unit of area represented by each tree). In the case of...

Forest Soils and Topography : Decoding the Influence of Physical Site Characteristics on Soil Water and Forest Productivity in Oregon's Coast Ranges

Creator:: Rodman, Henry
Abstract:: Forest soils and topography have long been known to influence forest productivity in complex terrain such as Oregon’s Coast Ranges. Incorporating physical site characteristics into predictions of forest growth and yield, however, has been problematic because of the high spatial variability of soil properties and the challenges associated with representing...

Long-term Effects of Vegetation Management on Biomass Stock and Aboveground Net Primary Productivity of Four Coniferous Species in the PNW

Creator:: Flamenco, Herman N., Jr.
Abstract:: Forest vegetation management (FVM) is an important component of reforestation in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Several studies have demonstrated the benefits of vegetation management on planted conifer growth and survival. However, few reports have been published on the long-term effects of FVM treatments on total ecosystem biomass accumulation and aboveground...
