An efficient optimizing model for determining thinning regime and rotation age using the stand projection system growth simulator

Creator:

Yoshimoto, Atsushi

Abstract:

The PATH algorithm, which is the efficient dynamic programming algorithm developed by Paredes and Brodie (1987) was interpreted from a different point of view. This modification of the PATH algorithm by the calculus of variations vastly diminished the calculation task and memory required to store optimal stands at each stage....

Germination and first-year survival of red alder seedlings in the central Coast Range of Oregon

Creator:

Haeussler, Sybille

Abstract:

The role of disturbance in seed germination and first-year survival of red alder (Alnus rubra) was studied over two growing seasons at four sites representing a climatic gradient within the central Coast Range of Oregon. Disturbance affected red alder seed germination and seedling establishment by altering the temperature and moisture...

Shear stress transfer between roots and soil

Creator:

Commandeur, P. R.

Abstract:

Mass wasting events are a principal form of erosion that occurs on steep forest land throughout the Pacific Northwest. Numerous studies have reported that tree roots help stabilize steep forest land. A complete understanding of the mechanism by which roots strengthen soil would enable modeling to more closely approximate field...
