  • Weighing the Benefits of Returning Fire to the Landscape: Strategic Fire Management Workloads

    Creator:
    Goodwin, Ian
    Abstract:
    The accumulation of fuels in fire prone landscapes, and changing climatic conditions, have resulted in increasingly volatile fire behaviors. As a result, social and operational risk, management expenditures, and budgetary requirements for responsible agencies are increasing. The United States Forest Service (USFS) manages 193 million acres across the United States...

  • Fuel Treatment Longevity in the Blue Mountains of Oregon

    Creator:
    Morici, Kat
    Abstract:
    Wildland fires are an increasingly extensive, expensive, and frequent occurrence in dry forests of the western United States. Fuel reduction treatments are designed to reduce extreme fire behavior, promote resilient forest structure, and facilitate fire control efforts. Although there is widespread recognition that repeated treatments are needed to maintain desired...

  • The Schultz Fire: An Interdisciplinary Perspective on its History, Management, and Ecological Effects

    Creator:
    Ranseen, Susanne N.
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines the Schultz Fire as a case study to explain the complex history of fire suppression management in America’s forests, and to gain further understanding of how management practices have affected the increase in fire severity levels and how forests respond to such a disturbance. The thesis objectives...

  • Water Use and Competitiveness of Senecio sylvaticus in Young Pseudotsuga menziesii Plantations in Western Oregon

    Creator:
    Cowden, Reed J.
    Abstract:
    Competition for soil water resources between newly planted Douglas-fir seedlings and aggressive early-seral plants, such as Senecio sylvaticus [L.] (Woodland groundsel, Senecio), can create drought conditions that impact tree seedling physiology, growth and likelihood of mortality. However, the specific impact of Senecio on soil moisture dynamics and inducement of water...

  • Real-time Decision Making on Helicopter Dispatch during Multiple Forest Fires

    Creator:
    Jeon, Duckha
    Abstract:
    On average there are over 500 forest fires burning more than 3,700 ha each year in South Korea. Between 2014 and 2018, 62 percent of forest fires were multiple fires burning simultaneously in more than two different locations across the country. These multiple fires make it difficult to make decisions...

  • Overstory Growth, Structural Development, and Regeneration Success Following Uneven-Aged Conversion Treatments in Douglas-fir Plantation of the Cascade Range in Oregon

    Creator:
    Marcum, Sean R.
    Abstract:
    Uneven-aged management has been suggested as a method for balancing biodiversity conservation and wood production goals from managed forests in a variety of regions. In coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests of the Pacific Northwest, implementation of uneven-aged management is hindered by a lack of experience with uneven-aged silvicultural systems, including...

  • Environmental Stressors Influence Fabaceae Seedling Development

    Creator:
    Gerber, Kaitlin A.
    Abstract:
    Sites in need of restoration typically have one or more environmental factors that limit seedling establishment; identifying ecophysiological responses to environmental stressors can be advantageous in growing seedlings able to overcome such constraints on survival. To maximize survival after outplanting, seedlings should be grown in a manner that considers both...

  • Influence of Limited Water Access on Douglas-fir Seedling Root Systems, Physiology, and Growth

    Creator:
    Sheridan, Rebecca A.
    Abstract:
    Nursery-grown seedlings are critical for attaining reforestation and restoration success in many ecosystems, including mixed-conifer forests in the Northwest, which is the native range for Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Seedling establishment after planting depends on coordinated responses in seedling growth, physiology, and hydraulic function. The chapters in this dissertation review growth...

    Wells, Lucas A.
    Abstract:
    In pursuit of global sustainability, forestry has witnessed significant shifts in practices and the development of new technologies and ideas. Primary and secondary processing industries have made substantial efforts to increase wood utilization rates, improve occupational safety and the working environment for humans, and have exhibited interest in procuring raw...

  • Aerial Laser Scanning for Forest Inventories: Estimation and Uncertainty at Multiple Scales

    Creator:
    Frank, Bryce M.
    Abstract:
    As remote sensing data continues to proliferate, development and assessment of methods that generate predictions of forest attributes is needed to inform operational use. For several decades, lidar data collected from aerial platforms has informed assessments of forest resources, but many opportunities remain for the technology. We examine and develop...
