Stand level silvicultural optimization utilizing a late-seral index constraint

Creator:: Semeliss, Wade Alan
Abstract:: A dynamic programming algorithm (MS PATH) was used to develop a stand level optimization model, FPS Optimizer. The model incorporates a late-seral constraint on the profit maximizing objective function utilizing a four-descriptor structural index as a proxy. This index, the 'Old-Growth Index', rates the late-seral structural quality of a given...

Historical disturbance regimes as a reference for forest policy

Creator:: Thompson, Jonathan R.
Abstract:: Using the historical range of forest conditions as a reference for managing landscapes has been proposed as a "coarse-filter" approach to biodiversity conservation. By emulating historical disturbance processes, it is thought that forest management can produce forest composition and structure similar to the conditions that once supported the native biota....

Temperature influences on cattle distribution and behavior in the central California foothills

Creator:: Smith, Kelly Ryan
Abstract:: The effect of temperature on cattle behavior and distribution was studied in the foothills of California. To accurately understand changes in livestock behavior and distribution, five seasonal trials, each spanning three to four weeks were conducted beginning spring 2004 and ending spring 2005. The two spring trials and the fall...

Hydrology and delineation in four wetlands in the Oregon Cascades

Creator:: MacLeod, Norman A.
Abstract:: Four wetland sites were identified and delineated in Silver Falls State Park, Oregon using procedures outlined in the 1989 Federal Manual for the Identification and Delineation of Jurisdictional Wetlands and subsequently monitored for a ten month period. A network of 225 shallow (32") wells was installed throughout the sites to...

Ontogeny and metamorphosis in the Dover sole (Microstomus pacificus) : a description of the early life history stages, with comments on the sister-group relationship between Microstomus and Embassichthys

Creator:: Harris, Phillip M.
Abstract:: The early life history stages and metamorphosis in Dover sole (Microstomus pacificus) are described from 201 larvae and juveniles. Unlike other pleuronectids, with the possible exception of the deep-sea sole (Embassichthvs bathvbius), initial migration of the left eye is not associated with metamorphosis or transition from plankton to benthos. The...

Life history and feeding role of the xylophagous aquatic beetle, Lara avara LeConte (Dryopoidea:Elmidae)

Creator:: Steedman, Robert John
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to document the life history of the xylophagous elmid beetle, Lara avara. and to estimate its contribution to wood degradation in Oregon streams. Field collections, mark-recapture, and laboratory rearing were used to determine details of the life cycle. Laboratory feeding studies and field population...

The SafeD model : incorporating episodic disturbances and heuristic programming into forest management planning for the Applegate River Watershed, southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Graetz, David H.
Abstract:: A hybrid landscape optimization/simulation model called SafeD (Simulation and analysis of forests with episodic Disturbances) was built to address the needs of forest management planning in the Applegate River Watershed, southwestern Oregon (the Apple gate Project). There are two goals of the Applegate Project: 1) search for forest policies and...

Biology and distribution of the Dicosmoecinae (Trichoptera: Limnephilidae) in western North America

Creator:: Wisseman, Robert William
Abstract:: Literature and museum records have been reviewed to provide a summary on the distribution, habitat associations and biology of six western North American Dicosmoecinae genera and the single eastern North American genus, Ironoquia. Results of this survey are presented and discussed for Allocosmoecus, Amphicosmoecus and Ecclisomvia. Field studies were conducted...

Estimation of leaf area index and simulation of evapotranspiration for intensively managed Douglas-fir forests

Creator:: Rogers, Nicole S.
Abstract:: Understanding the tradeoff between water use and productivity is critical for modeling growth of intensively managed Douglas-fir forests in the Pacific Northwest. Evapotranspiration is closely linked to carbon dioxide intake during the process of photosynthesis. However, summer drought characterizing the growing season in this region imposes a limit on carbon...
