Abstract:: Disproportionate exposure to exploitative working conditions, social marginalization, and a lack of equitable living conditions are among the many issues that migrant Latinx populations face daily in the United States. However, such issues cannot be addressed by relying solely on traditional academic research approaches without the participation and direction of...

Creator:: Allen, Marganne Mary
Abstract:: Soil bulk density and disturbance were measured before and after a commercial thinning of 3 0-50 year-old Douglas-fir using a cut-to-length (CTL) and a skyline system on the Willamette National Forest in the Oregon Cascades. A dual-probe nuclear densimeter was used to measure bulk density at four and eight inches....

Creator:: Schmidt, Micah
Abstract:: Small, private forestland owners own about 12% of Oregon’s forestland and have the unique ability to implement innovative forest management activities. In southwest Oregon, extreme ecological variability occurs over small spatial scales and requires fine-scale silvicultural treatments that match the precise ecological setting and management objectives of the forests in...

Abstract:: Time study data was collected for two horsepower classes of rubber tired skidders from field operations controlled by Associated Pulp and Paper Mills, Ltd., Tasmania, Australia. A wide range of site and logging conditions were used to produce both production per hour and cycle time predictive equations. The resultant equations...

Creator:: Campbell, Lewis
Abstract:: An increase in frequency and severity of hot, dry summers has been associated with a dramatic shift in the coniferous forests of western Oregon’s valleys, especially on the privately-owned properties along the low-elevation edges of these valleys. Various conifer species, including Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), are declining in these forests, leaving...

Creator:: Litton, Sabrina
Abstract:: This study examined the effects of timber harvest and subsoiling on soil physical properties considered important to forest productivity and hydrologic concerns. Ground based mechanical timber harvesting on some soil types can cause soil disturbance including compaction. These effects in turn can influence multiple important soil physical properties that affect...
