Community structure of old-growth Juniperus occidentalis woodlands

Creator:: Waichler, Wendy Sims
Abstract:: Knowledge of old-growth Juniperus occidentalis woodlands, which occur in central and eastern Oregon, is limited. Wise management of these woodlands necessitates a better understanding of the community ecology. The community structure of woodlands at seven sites in three areas of central Oregon was studied. Measurements taken at nine plots per...

Objectives and attitudes of nonindustrial small-forest owners in Lane County, Oregon

Creator:: Martin, David Carl
Abstract:: Sixty nonindustrial small-forest owners were interviewed in Lane County, Oregon to determine their objectives for forest lands, and knowledge of and attitudes toward public assistance in forestry. Owners were randomly sampled from a preselected size class of 10 to 200 acres. A formal questionnaire was used to measure forest land...

Private forests-public resources : policy and landscape on the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Langridge, Ruth
Abstract:: The forests of the Oregon Coast Range have been both the principal natural resource, and for many years, the primary economic base of the region. In the past thirty years, changing social and economic factors have created new visions for these forests, leading to conflict over the appropriate management of...

The extent and implications of specified resource site protection in Oregon

Creator:: Giampaoli, Peter Paul
Abstract:: The protection of sensitive resources is an integral part of forest practices regulations in many states, affecting non-industrial private forest (NIPF) landowners. In Oregon, forest operations on private lands which will conflict with sensitive areas designated "specified resource sites" must meet spatial and temporal requirements to protect those sites. These...

Evaluation, reformulation, and application of the Vroom-Yetton model to select public involvement methods for the McDonald-Dunn Research Forest near Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Deagen, Debbie
Abstract:: Western society's ongoing cultural shift toward quality of life values and associated increased public participation expectations affects forest managers. The rapid urban growth experienced by the U.S. is increasing both the area of the urban-forest interface zone and the number of residents residing in that zone. The study site of...

Vegetation response following thinning in young Douglas-fir forests of western Oregon : can thinning accelerate development of late-successional structure and composition?

Creator:: Beggs, Liane R.
Abstract:: Across western Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, forest management practices over the past century reduced the amount of late-successional forest while simultaneously increasing the amount of young (less than 80 years old), managed Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) dominated forests. Recently, concerns over loss of late-successional habitat pushed management objectives on public...

Interactions between near-urban forest management and recreation : a pre- and post-harvest survey

Creator:: Balfour, Richard C. D.
Abstract:: Forest management has been influenced by many social and political changes, and one of the most prominent is the increasing urbanization of neighboring lands. As a result, forests once relatively far removed from urban areas now share boundaries with residential developments, and receive increasing pressure to provide recreation and other...

Measuring costs of sequestering carbon in forest stands with different management regimes in western Oregon

Creator:: Zyrina, Olga A.
Abstract:: This project was a part of larger work that compared major factors controlling patterns of carbon dynamics in two regions of the globe, the Pacific Northwest, USA and northwestern Russia. It was funded through the NASA foundation (grant # NAG5- 6242). Human economic activity is causing the release of pollutants...

Heuristic solution techniques for a spatial harvest scheduling problem involving wildlife habitat and timber income

Creator:: Sharer, Brian K.
Abstract:: Three heuristic techniques: simulated annealing (SA), tabu search (TS), and tabu search with strategic oscillation (TSSO), were used to schedule silvicultural activities designed to accelerate development of older forest structure at both stand and landscape scales over a 2450 acre forest located in northwestern Oregon. Goals for the forest over...
