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...

McDonald Forest : a case study in the use of the recreation opportunity spectrum planning framework in an near-urban forest

Creator:: Finley, Marlene T.
Abstract:: Managing near-urban forests is a challenge because people living nearby care about these places and often express their concerns. The near-urban forest situation alerts us that there is a need for an approach to land use planning and management which deals with the multiplicity of values expressed by the urban...

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...

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...

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...

An opportunity cost approach to land preservation in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Aliski, Leon David
Abstract:: This study estimates a range of opportunity costs associated with three land management alternatives for a site in the Oregon Coast Range. A 35,000 acre site was selected which includes a mix of federal and private land ownership and provides significant biological resources. The first alternative examines a plan for...

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...

A biological classification and characterization of structure in managed, mixed-species, multi-aged stands

Creator:: Singleton, Ryan B.
Abstract:: Forest management requires classification of forest stands into groupings or types based on structural similarities, even when structure varies continuously along gradients. Managed, mixed-species, multi-aged forest stands often display complex structures containing extreme variation in trees size, density, and species composition, and as a result have diverse canopy structures. A...

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...
