Factors influencing residual stand damage levels due to cable thinning of coniferous stands in western Oregon

Creator:: Caccavano, Michael P.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine the significant variables influencing the damage levels sustained by the residual stand after skyline thinning of coniferous stands. Damage levels were measured in ten study areas in western Oregon that had received their first commercial thinning. For this post-logging study, 38 units...

Mass wasting in forested mountain topography

Creator:: Hu, Su Cherng
Abstract:: As the demands for forest products increase, additional timber harvesting operations can be expected on steep mountainous terrain, The resulting disruption of natural slope stability by man's disturbances (roadbuilding, logging and vegetative manipulation, etc.) may also accelerate mass movement processes in this terrain. Swanston (1969) defines mass movement as ".,...

Report on a port-based project to reduce marine debris

Creator:: Recht, Fran
Abstract:: Plastic waste in the oceans is now recognized as a serious threat to marine life and a pollution problem with economic consequences for mariners and coastal states. Annex V of MARPOL, effective December 1988, is an international treaty which prohibits signatory nations from disposing of any plastic material into the...

Stakeholder evaluation of market based approaches towards managing the adverse impacts of commercial fishing on the marine environment

Creator:: Swart, Brycen
Abstract:: Over fishing, by-catch of non-target fish species, marine mammals, seabirds, and damage to benthic habitats remain serious problems in fisheries management. Management methods based on traditional command and control (CAC) approaches may meet with initial successes yet additional progress is often marginal, requiring managers to implement additional regulations to achieve...

Diesel fuel emissions and truck idling : the Oregon Interstate 5 Idle-Free Corridor Project : a bounded rationality perspective

Creator:: Ham, Clifford L.
Abstract:: Long-haul diesel trucks carry the lion’s share of all shipped goods in the United States. The drivers of these trucks often live in these trucks for days, sometimes weeks, at a time as they deliver these goods. When stopped overnight, many of these drivers leave their engines idling to heat...

Towards an approach based on resilience for assessing the potential impacts of sea level rise

Creator:: Scalise, Armando Hector
Abstract:: In this paper, I will analyze the nature of these problems and examine how recent approaches to SLRA have dealt with them. In addition, a framework for assessing the potential impacts of sea level rise is proposed, drawing upon the ecological concept of resilience (Holling 1978, 1984).

Analysis of the Oregon Stakeholder Drug Take Back Public Policy Process to ReducePharmaceutical Pollution in Oregon’s Water Resources

Creator:: Hubbard, Monica L.
Abstract:: The goal of this analysis is to use the social construction framework to determine 1) whether the Oregon Drug Take Back Program stakeholder group can design a public policy that will ultimately reduce water contamination from the improper disposal of unused pharmaceuticals from the general public, and 2) use the...

A study of soil disturbance and compaction resulting from the use of ground-based logging vehicles in the Sierra Nevada

Creator:: Lysne, David Holtan
Abstract:: Some results of a study conducted in the Sierra Nevada Mountains west of Lake Tahoe are reported. The study measured soil impacts resulting from the use of a Caterpillar Tractor model D6D, a John Deere wheeled skidder model JD-640, and an FMC Corporation model FMC 21OCA logging vehicle. The three...

Identification of variables influencing residual stand damage from skyline thinning of young western hemlock-Sitka spruce stand

Creator:: Hargrave, Michael A.
Abstract:: Western hemlock and Sitka spruce are relatively thin- barked species and susceptible to damage during thinning operations. Damage to the wood allows decay-causing fungi to enter resulting in loss of merchantable volume at the time of final harvest. Cable yarding systems are needed for much of the thinning because most...

Web-PST : Web-based Pesticide Screening Tool

Creator:: Manda, Ashwin Prasad
Abstract:: We have developed a web-based software tool for evaluating the potential risk of pesticides on the surrounding environment. The software tool is called Web-based Pesticide Screening Tool (Web-PST). It uses the formulas and standards specified by the Soil/Pesticide Interaction Screening Procedure Version II (SPISP II). Web-PST closely models the stand-alone...
