The presence and characterization of measurement error in forestry

Creator:: Canavan, Sean Joseph
Abstract:: Measurement error (ME) is a component of any study involving the use of actual measurements, but is often not recognized or is ignored. The consequences of MEs on estimates of tree and stand attributes and the parameters and predictions of forest models can be varied and severe, including the presence...

Estimation and modeling of selected forest metrics with lidar and Landsat

Creator:: Strunk, Jacob L.
Abstract:: Lidar is able to provide height and cover information which can be used to estimate selected forest attributes precisely. However, for users to evaluate whether the additional cost and complication associated with using Lidar merits adoption requires that the protocol to use lidar be thoroughly described and that a basis...

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...

Examining Nepal’s Community Forestry to Understand Opportunities and Barriers to Successful Collective Action

Creator:: Pant, Suman
Abstract:: Nepal’s community forestry has been internationally recognized as an example of successful case of collective action. However, many scholars argue that although it has been successful in protecting forests from degradation, it has not been able to create an inclusive platform for political decision-making process. Using historical analysis, comparative case...

Empirical Analyses of Forestry Interactions with Climate Uncertainty and Threatened Species

Creator:: Johnson, Kelsey K.
Abstract:: Forests are highly valuable resources providing both timber as well as many non-use values like habitat for various endangered and threatened species, carbon sequestration, and recreation, to name a few. Given that there are 765 million acres of forestland in the United States, almost 60% of which are privately owned,...

Nutrient losses and nitrogen mineralization on forested watersheds in Oregon's Coast Range

Creator:: Miller, James H.
Abstract:: Nutrient losses of the biologically responsive anions, nitrate and bicarbonate together with the major cations, were monitored on 14 small watersheds in Oregon's Coast Range and evaluated in relation to management-induced disturbance. Mixed forests of Douglas-fir and red alder had dominated these high-nitrogen sites prior to treatment. A paired-watershed experimental...

Decision guides for forest practice laws in Oregon

Creator:: Klemperer, William David
Abstract:: Spawned by the current interest in revising Oregon's Forest Conservation Act, this study defines the forestry regulation problem and outlines theoretical approaches to its solution. Unregulated private forestry is found to present opportunities for government intervention, the gains from which could exceed the losses. Proposed is a public goal of...

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 new index for describing the structural complexity of forests

Creator:: Zenner, Eric K.
Abstract:: Despite the critical ecological roles of structural features in forests, ecologically relevant quantitative measures of structure that allow comparisons among forest stands are still limited. A new index, the structural complexity index (SCI), was developed to characterize and compare the structural complexity of different forests. Point patterns of stem-mapped trees...
