Effects of release from suppression on hydraulic architecture, photosynthetic capacity and functional wood characteristics in Douglas-fir and western hemlock

Creator:: Renninger, Heidi
Abstract:: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), a shade intolerant species, and western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.), a shade tolerant species, were compared to learn more about the temporal pattern of release from suppression in both species, whether hydraulic architecture or photosynthetic capacity constrain release and how wood functional properties change...

Influence of spacing and crown recession on wood quality of intensively-managed young-growth Douglas-fir

Creator:: Robbins, James M.
Abstract:: Intensive management of young-growth Douglas-fir plantations has emphasized volume growth over wood quality. A better understanding of the variables that affect wood quality is needed so that wood quality and stand yield can be systematically combined into a silviculture program. This experiment utilized two separate experiments to establish the relationship...

Morphological characteristics of ponderosa pine and lodgepole pine regeneration nine years after stand density reduction at three sites in central Oregon

Creator:: Michel, Alexa K.
Abstract:: Without the natural occurrence of fire in ponderosa pine forests of the western US, lodgepole pine has started to dominate regeneration in many forest stands and may be gradually replacing ponderosa pine over time. This development, however, conflicts with recent efforts in this region to restore old-aged, open ponderosa pine...

Douglas-fir hydraulic architecture and relationships among xylem properties at multiple scales via a Bayesian analysis

Creator:: Dunham, Sonya M.
Abstract:: This study investigated variation in xylem anatomy, hydraulic properties, and the relationship between anatomy and properties within Douglas-fir trees at multiple scales. The hierarchical scales in the study included fertilization treatments (fertilized and unfertilized), trees within the treatments, and positions within the trees. Tracheid diameter, tracheid length, percent latewood, number...

Water movement in the stem xylem in relation to xylem specific conductivity in four hardwood species

Creator:: Fallas-Cedeño, Lottie
Abstract:: In deciduous species, water exits stems mainly through leaf traces attached to the outer growth ring and yet we know that water ascends throughout the entire cross-section of the sapwood. There is an increasing amount of information on sap flow and sapwood hydraulic properties from separate studies, but little information...

Hydraulic properties of compression wood in branches and reoriented shoots of Douglas-fir (Psuedotsuga menziesii)

Creator:: Spicer, Rachel
Abstract:: Xylem anatomy is a strong determinant of water transport efficiency and is therefore an important component of the overall hydraulic strategy of any woody plant. However, in addition to its role in water transport, xylem also serves in mechanical support, and these two functions may represent conflicting design requirements. To...

Competitive interactions in young, coastal Douglas-fir/red alder mixtures : implications for wood quality

Creator:: Grotta, Amy T.
Abstract:: When Douglas-fir and red alder grow in mixture, interactions between the two species can be competitive, facilitative, or a combination of both over time. A number of factors have recently led to increased interest in managing these two species together for commercial production, and ongoing investigations are yielding important information...

Wood density patterns of young Costa Rican trees in planted and natural forests

Creator:: Baker, David C.
Abstract:: In plantation forestry, rapid growth rate is favorable for wood production, but may decrease wood density, which is an important indicator of wood quality for both pulp and solid wood products. I looked for (1) differences in radial patterns of wood density between planted and naturally grown Costa Rican tree...

World War II wedding dress as presented in United States high fashion magazines: 1939-1945

Creator:: Clayton, Tamara
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to explore wedding dress styles represented in United States high fashion magazines during the World War II period. The objectives of the study were to: discover what wedding dress styles were proposed by high fashion magazines during the period 1935-45, determine if wedding dress...
