The Bob Marshall Wilderness Area of Montana ; a study in land use

Creator:: Merriam, Lawrence C.
Abstract:: A wilderness area, as administered by the U. S. Forest Service, is a tract of undeveloped land over 100,000 acres in size with no roads or provision for motorized transportation. Commercial timber cutting, hotels, stores, and similar developments are prohibited. While there are some exceptions for private holdings and administrative...

Economic efficiency of the particle board industry of Oregon

Creator:: Johnson, Walter W.
Abstract:: This study consists of an evaluation of economic efficiency in the particleboard industry of Oregon between 1958 and 1970. Measures of efficiency included aggregate capital and labor use in the production process, relative economies of scale, and relative technological efficiencies of individual particleboard plants. The rapid growth of the industry...

An econometric model of hardwood lumber and stumpage markets in the United States

Creator:: Lange, William J.
Abstract:: Two econometric models were developed to forecast consumption, production, and price of hardwood lumber, and removals and price of hardwood sawlog stumpage. Four eastern U.S. regions were represented in the models. Hardwood lumber consumption by manufacturing, shipping, residential construction, and nonresidential construction industries was recognized. Hardwood sawlog stumpage removals from...

Use of duality values for multiple-use stand and forest planning

Creator:: Paredes-Veloso, Gonzalo L.
Abstract:: An analysis of the economics of multiple use forest planning is presented. At the forest level itself it is demonstrated the use of duality information provided by linear programming to price nonmarket commodities allocations and to establish an accounting system in multiple use forest management. The use of post-optimal activity...

Economies of scale in sawmilling in British Columbia

Creator:: Dobie, Jas. (James)
Abstract:: The number of sawmills in the coastal lumber-producing area of British Columbia diminished from 364 In 1955 to 162 in 1968. In the interior of the province the reduction in plant numbers was from 2125 to 740. Over the same period lumber production in the province increased from 4.9 billion...

The effect of plant moisture stress on the physiology and establishment of planted Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine seedlings

Creator:: Cleary, Brian D.
Abstract:: The role of moisture stress in seedling physiology and establishment was studied in both the field environment and laboratory experiments. Plant moisture stress was measured using the pressure chamber technique. This technique was modified and tested using a fascicle of pine needles as a sample, an improvement which allows the...

The valuation and use of site information for Douglas-fir reforestation in Western Oregon : a decision analysis

Creator:: Schöne, Dieter Hans-Friedrich
Abstract:: Existing forest site maps have been described as "invaluable tools" in forest management. Their, economic value potentially materializes as the summed advantage from better decisions in all phases of forestry. Via Bayesian decision analysis, this study establishes optimal use and economic value of site information for one facet of management...

Impacts of business organization form on federal estate and income tax liabilities of nonindustrial private forest landowners

Creator:: Howard, Theodore E.
Abstract:: Detrimental impacts of estate taxes on management of private nonindustrial forests can be mitigated by estate planning which considers organizational forms of forest businesses and methods for funding estate settlement costs. This study's objective was to determine effects of business form and estate funding method on income and estate tax...

The economic consequences of intensifying forest management in Douglas County, Oregon

Creator:: Dippon, Duane R.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to measure the consequences of alternative forest management intensification programs. These consequences include future harvest levels, silvicultural labor and capital requirements, and the income and employment generated directly and indirectly. The system utilizes the Timber Resource Economic Estimation System (TREES) model, a harvest scheduling...
