Estimating volume and value on standing timber in hybrid poplar plantations using terrestrial laser scanning : a case study

Creator:: Barnett, Jennifer S.
Abstract:: Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) may provide a way to increase timber value recovery by replacing manual timber cruising with a simple-to-use, cost-effective alternative. TLS has been studied in several trials worldwide. Past studies have not compared TLS based estimates with mill estimates of stem value and volume. Three differently stocked...

Forest ant composition, relative abundances, and foraging following aerial spraying of carbaryl to suppress Western Spruce budworm

Creator:: Murphy, Christopher F.
Abstract:: An outbreak of western spruce budworm Choristoneura occidentalis in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon in 1983 was treated with helicopter applied carbaryl. Effects of the spraying on forest ants were determined from pre- and postspray samples taken from two carbaryl sprayed and two unsprayed plots. In each 0.75-ha plot,...

Evaluation of a probabilistic quantitative precipitation forecasting experiment

Creator:: Hsu, Wu-ron
Abstract:: Forecasts of the likelihood of occurrence of various amounts of precipitation are very important, since excessive precipitation amounts over relatively short time periods can have adverse effects on public safety and economic efficiency, As a result, forecasters at the National Weather Service Forecast Office in San Antonio, Texas were asked...

Estimating spatial changes in acoustic velocity in felled Douglas-fir stems

Creator:: Dowding, Bodie
Abstract:: To compete with other building materials, the wood products industry must find a way to increase value and lower costs. Wood stiffness is important for most wood uses. Value can be increased and costs can be lowered by sorting logs for stiffness in the woods using acoustic devices mounted on...

Statistical surface wind forecasting at Goodnoe Hills, Washington

Creator:: Curtis, Joel C.
Abstract:: Multiple linear regression was used to develop equations for 12-, 24-, and 36-hour surface wind forecasts for the wind energy site at Goodnoe Hills. Equations were derived separately for warm and cool seasons. The potential predictors included LFM II model output, MOS surface wind forecasts extrapolated from surrounding stations, pressure...

Evaluation of six tools for estimating woody biomass moisture content

Creator:: Becerra Ochoa, Fernando Amador
Abstract:: Woody biomass transportation costs and market values/costs are strongly correlated with the woody biomass moisture content. Properly managing moisture content can potentially lead to economic and environmental advantages in biomass energy markets. Good management requires accurate moisture content measurements. Therefore, availability of accurate, precise, reliable, and efficient tools to assess...

Modeling air-drying of Douglas-fir and hybrid poplar biomass in Oregon

Creator:: Kim, Dong-Wook
Abstract:: Both transportation costs and market values of woody biomass are strongly linked to the amount of moisture in the woody biomass. Therefore, managing moisture in the woody biomass well can lead to significant advantages in the woody biomass energy business. In this study, two prediction models were developed to estimate...

Geology, ground water chemistry, and hydrogeology of the Murphy area, Josephine County, Oregon

Creator:: Mack, Gregory Stebbins
Abstract:: The Grants Pass Batholith of Cretaceous age has intruded the Triassic Applegate Group and metasedimentary rocks of the Jurassic Galice Formation in the Murphy area of Josephine County, southwest Oregon. The Applegate Group, mafic volcanic and sedimentary rock, has been partially (nonequilibrium) metamorphosed under greenschist facies conditions. The batholith, a...

Relative competitive abilities of several common forest species and planted Douglas-fir in western Oregon

Creator:: Naylor-Murphy, Lanea
Abstract:: In terms of production forestry, more often than not any species that is not the crop species is considered a competitor as they are using finite growing resources that would otherwise be available to the crop species. With specific regard to Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) production in the Pacific...
