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...

Integration of oceanographic information off the Washington and Oregon coasts into west coast groundfish ecology and fisheries management

Creator:: Juan Jorda, Maria Jose
Abstract:: To date, the use of oceanographic data in fisheries management has been limited by the scarcity and the difficulty of accessing complete oceanographic datasets. Consequently, fish stocks are managed with limited knowledge about the habitat where fish live and incomplete understanding of what oceanographic conditions affect their populations. With the...

Systematics of the genus Otidea in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Peterson, Eric T.
Abstract:: The fungal ascomycete genus Otidea as represented in the Pacific Northwest of North America includes eight well known species and two poorly-known species. Cladistic analysis utilizing characters from ribosomal DNA and morphology allowed the development of a robust phylogenetic species concept for Otidea. The combination of characters from the ribosomal...

Modeling the Economic Potential of Silvopasture in Eastern North Carolina and Northeastern Oregon and Exploring Eligibility of Silvopasture to Enroll in Carbon Markets in the United States

Creator:: Bruck, Sonia Rose
Abstract:: Silvopasture is the planned and managed agroforestry system in which forage, livestock, and trees or shrubs are integrated in order to enhance individual components. Silvopasture has been identified as the most promising agroforestry system for the Pacific Northwest and Southeast United States. However, there have been few studies describing the...

The size of the Oregon coastal salmon runs in the mid-1800s

Creator:: Meengs, Chad C.
Abstract:: Increasing the abundance of salmon in coastal Oregon rivers and streams is a high priority public policy objective. Salmon runs have been reduced from pre-development conditions (typically defined as the 1 850s), but it is unclear by how much. Considerable resources have been allocated to restoring salmon runs, but it...

Linking greater sage-grouse habitat use and suitability across spatiotemporal scales in central Oregon

Creator:: Freese, Mark T.
Abstract:: Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) habitat research has historically focused on fine-scale (0.007 - 0.032 ha) vegetation structure and composition immediately surrounding sites selected by birds. However, little work has evaluated vegetation attributes important for Greater Sage-grouse at a landscape-scale or identified landscape attributes that influence habitat use patterns. Habitat use...

Recent periglacial debris flows from Mount Rainier, Washington

Creator:: Copeland, Elizabeth A.
Abstract:: Debris flow initiation is controlled by a complex interaction of geology, geomorphology, climate, and weather. In the Cascade Range of Pacific Northwest and mountainous areas globally, patterns of temperature and precipitation are being altered by climate change, which may in turn impact debris flow initiation. Temperature has increased and patterns...

Fuel Treatment Longevity in the Blue Mountains of Oregon

Creator:: Morici, Kat
Abstract:: Wildland fires are an increasingly extensive, expensive, and frequent occurrence in dry forests of the western United States. Fuel reduction treatments are designed to reduce extreme fire behavior, promote resilient forest structure, and facilitate fire control efforts. Although there is widespread recognition that repeated treatments are needed to maintain desired...

Effects of camelina meal supplementation on ruminal forage degradability, performance, and physiological responses of beef cattle

Creator:: Cappellozza, Bruno Ieda
Abstract:: Three experiments compared ruminal, physiological, and performance responses of beef steers consuming hay ad libitum and receiving grain-based supplements with (CAM) or without (CO) inclusion of camelina meal. In Exp. 1, 9 steers fitted with ruminal cannulas received CAM (2.04 kg of DM/d) or CO (2.20 kg of DM/d). Steers...

An application of photogrammetric techniques to the measurement of historic photographs

Creator:: Strausz, David A. Jr
Abstract:: The application of the collinearity solution by resection of the interior and exterior orientation parameters of historical photographs is investigated. The spatial coordinates of seven or more identifiable control points in the field of view of an historical photograph, combined with image coordinates of the control point images, allow solution...
