Nonindustrial forests, public policy and long-term timber supply in the South

Creator:: Brooks, David J.
Abstract:: Forest Service projections of the long-term supply and demand for forest products indicate that increasing importance will be placed on the supply behavior of nonindustrial private forest owners in the South. The inventory model on which these projections are based may produce biased estimates of southern timber production, however, as...

A comparison of subregional lumber, plywood and log markets in the Douglas-fir region

Creator:: Haven, Lisa
Abstract:: Subregional log market differences are defined and analyzed. Seven demand and seven supply centers are initially specified. Log demand factors inspected are mill capacity, processed wood species, cost and profitability conditions distinguished by product and subregion. They are preliminarily linked to a regional market model through product price transmission. An...

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...

Effects of traditional and "New Forestry" practices on recreational and scenic quality of managed forests

Creator:: Brunson, Mark W.
Abstract:: Criticism of established forestry practices has led to the development of alternative silvicultural methods known collectively as "New Forestry." The primary objective of New Forestry is to address concerns about biological diversity, but it is generally acknowledged that controversy will continue until social concerns are also addressed. Consequently, this dissertation...

Contemporary regional forest dynamics in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Reilly, Matthew J. (Matthew Justin), 1975-
Abstract:: Recent climatic warming trends and increases in the frequency and extent of wildfires have prompted much concern regarding the potential for rapid change in the structure and function of forested ecosystems around the world. Episodes of mortality in wildfires and insect outbreaks associated with drought have affected large areas and...

Forest acreage trends in the Southeast : econometric analysis and policy simulations

Creator:: Alig, Ralph J.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to develop a system based on economic criteria for projecting changes in land use areas. The total land base was partitioned among three classes of private forest owners and crop, pasture/range, and urban/other uses in the southeastern United States. The fraction of the land...

Examination of imputation methods to estimate status and change of forest attributes from paneled inventory data

Creator:: Eskelson, Bianca N. I.
Abstract:: The Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program conducts an annual inventory throughout the United States. In the western United States, 10% of all plots (one panel) are measured annually, and a moving average is used for estimating current condition and change of forest attributes while alternative methods are sought in...

A recent disturbance history of forest ecosystems at Mount Rainier National Park

Creator:: Hemstrom, Miles A.
Abstract:: An analysis was made of the recent catastrophic disturbance history of forests at Mount Rainier National Park. Basic data were tree ages from ring counts of increment cores taken from the early seral cohort, field mapping of age class boundaries and aerial photograph interpretation. Maps of present stand ages were...

The timber harvesting behavior of family forest owners

Creator:: Butler, Brett J.
Abstract:: To increase our understanding of the timber harvesting behavior of family forest owners, I developed theoretical and empirical timber harvesting models for family forest owners in the southeastern United States. An individual-choice model was the basis for the models. Family forest owners were modeled as utility-maximizers who made harvesting decisions...

The Impact of Disturbance on Carbon Stores and Dynamics in Forests of Coastal Alaska

Creator:: Yatskov, Mikhail A.
Abstract:: Changes in climate caused by increased concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the Earth’s atmosphere have led land and ocean surface temperatures to increase by 0.85°C and sea level to increase by 19 cm relative to preindustrial times. Global climate change will lead to further alterations in mean temperature and...
