Growth behavior of Douglas-fir reproduction in the shade of managed forest in the interior Coast Range of Oregon

Creator:: Del Rio, Ernest
Abstract:: During the past 20 years, repeated thinning of a Douglas-fir forest, now 65 years old, has allowed desired limits of basal area to be maintained. In the process, the understory environment has altered sufficiently to allow Douglas-fir reproduction to establish in abundance. The forest is located on the east side...

The influence of seral Coast Range vegetation on the growth habit of juvenile Douglas-fir

Creator:: Howard, Kerry Megan
Abstract:: A detailed analysis was performed on the juvenile growth of six types of Douglas-fir stock under the influence of typical seral Coast Range vegetation. Objectives were to analyze competitive influences important to the growth of tree seedlings and evaluate differences between stock type characteristics and growth patterns in response to...

The economic feasibility of preheating Douglas-fir blocks prior to peeling

Creator:: Baskin, Richard
Abstract:: Past research and industrial sources have implied that preheating Douglas-fir Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco prior to peeling veneer was economically feasible. To test this, the effect of treatment temperature on veneer yield and thickness variation for three diameter classes of low grade Douglas-fir logs was studied and related to the...

Comparative rates of CO₂ production from the forest floor in the Douglas-fir ecosystem

Creator:: Phillips, Michael John
Abstract:: To obtain data on the decomposition of the forest floor, a battery operated electrolytic respirometer was developed making it possible to measure CO₂ evolution from field moist forest floor samples in situ independent of root respiration. Banks of four respirometers powered by two 12-volt batteries were installed in three old...

The effect of drought on the rate of photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration in two ecotypes of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco)

Creator:: Zavitkovski, J.
Abstract:: The subject of this study was the determination of the changes in photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration in two ecotypes of Douglas-fir as caused by decreasing soil moisture content. The photosynthetic rate was also correlated with the relative turgidities of needles. All the above processes were greatly affected by decreasing soil...

Effect of snowbrush on the establishment and growth of Douglas-fir seedlings

Creator:: Scott, William
Abstract:: Six, recent clear cut areas were selected in the Douglas-fir zone of the Western Cascade Range of Oregon to determine the environmental and nutritional effects that snowbrush has on the establishment and growth of Douglas-fir seedlings. One thousand eighty milacre sample plots on the six clear cuts were used to...

Chemical suppression of a perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) living mulch and influence of ground cover management on growth of 'Chardonnay' wine grapes (Vitis vinifera) and Douglas fir Christmas trees (Pseudotsuga menziesii)

Diurnal and seasonal changes in xylem water potential, stomatal conductance and abscisic acid in five different habitat types of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco)

Creator:: Murphy, Ellyn Margaret
Abstract:: Sapling Douglas-fir trees on five sites in the Coastal and Cascade Mountain ranges of Oregon were measured five times during the year from the summer of 1977 through the spring of 1978 for diurnal patterns of xylem water potential, stomatal conductance and abscisic acid. Vapor pressure deficit and solar radiation...

Water relations and the root regeneration response of Douglas-fir

Creator:: Cobb, Cheryl Anne
Abstract:: The effect of lifting date and root-pruning treatments on water potential, root regeneration, and shoot growth of six-month-old and three-year-old Douglas-fir seedlings bare-root transplanted into a growth chamber, and sawdust bed, respectively, was studied. Root growth in six-month-old and three-year-old seedlings was highest in February and August respectively. Survival was...
