Irrigation choices for major West Coast crops : water scarcity and climatic determinants

Creator:: Olen, Beau
Abstract:: Recent climate change forecasts have aroused growing interest in the influence of water scarcity and climate on agricultural production and irrigation practice. However, it is common in the economic literature to aggregate disparate crops when modeling irrigation choices. That approach confounds the crop-specific effects of climate and water scarcity that...

Pacific Northwest rangeland carbon sequestration

Creator:: Wiggins, Seth T.
Abstract:: This paper models the supply curve of carbon sequestration on Pacific Northwest rangelands. Rangeland managers have the ability to sequester carbon in agricultural soils by implementing alternative management practices on their farms. Their low adoption rate in practice suggests a high opportunity cost associated with their implementation. To increase their...

Economic Benefit from Allowing Wildfires to Burn in Federal East-Side Cascade Forests

Creator:: Gagnon, Aaron R.
Abstract:: In this thesis I examine the question: can allowing a wildfire to burn this year result in a net positive economic gain? To answer this question I created 2,500 multiple sets of paired scenarios (called a fire of interest) which consist of ignitions, vegetation growth, and timber harvest over the...

Choosing efficient land allocations and forest management regimes for biodiversity

Creator:: Shunk, Neal J.
Abstract:: Increasing rates of species imperilment and the loss of biological diversity in naturally functioning ecosystems can be directly linked to accelerated urban development and the conversion of natural habitats to satisfy the needs of man. In combating this loss of biodiversity, scientists and policy makers alike recognize the relevance of...
