Creator:: Zamora Cristales, René Arturo
Abstract:: An economic analysis and optimization of forest biomass processing and transportation at the operational level is presented. Renewable sources of energy have captured the interest of public and private institutions to develop cost-effective supply chains to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The production of energy from forest harvest residues constitutes...

Creator:: Lee, Myoung-ku
Abstract:: White pitch deposits originated from the wood extractives, synthetic polymers, and additives used in the papermaking process, etc. may cause numerous problems to the papermaking process and also degrade the product quality. The timely analysis and characterization of white pitch deposit is important for tracing the origin of the deposits....

Creator:: Hicks, William Thomas
Abstract:: A mechanistic simulation model of nitrogen fixation in dead wood was developed to help synthesize knowledge, develop hypotheses, and estimate rates of nitrogen fixation in the Pacific Northwest. In this model nitrogen fixation is directly controlled by log substrate, temperature, moisture, and oxygen content. Respiration and diffusion of oxygen indirectly...

Creator:: Crandall, Mindy S.
Abstract:: The development of a market for currently non-merchantable forest material, such as harvest residues of tops and limbs of trees or small diameter trees, has been suggested as a possible win-win solution that could: (i) provide a financial incentive to help motivate treatments to reduce wildfire risk or restore forest...

Creator:: Belart Lengerich, Maria Francisca
Abstract:: Moisture content management is a key requirement to improve forest harvest residue economics for bioenergy production. This dissertation aims to contribute towards better management through these three general objectives (1) Determine average moisture content of fresh forest harvest residues and its changes over the different seasons of the year, focusing...
