The summary data reports academic standing of undergraduate students at the end of each term, Fall 2001 (200201) through Winter 2006 (200602) showing academic reinstatements as of the beginning of the term, arranged by class.
Using existing data from untreated research plots, we developed equations
for predicting 5-yr diameter-growth rate (ΔD₅), 5-yr height-growth
rate (ΔH₅), and 5-yr mortality rate (PM₅) for Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga
menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] in the coastal region of the Pacific Northwest.
These equations are revisions of the equations constructed in 1995–1997
for...
Harvesting productivity rates and costs were determined for three
silvicultural treatments used in commercial ground-based thinning of
young stands to achieve timber management objectives and enhance
wildlife habitat. Treatment definitions were based on residual trees
per acre (tpa) after thinning. The treatments were light thin (115
residual tpa), light thin...
This manual describes the rules for reforesting after harvest of small woodlands, gives guidance for the decisions the landowner must make, and gives step-by-step instructions for planting and taking care of seedlings.
