Tarif tables for mountain hemlock developed from an equation of total stem cubic-foot volume

Creator:: Bell, John F., Marshall, David D., Johnson, Gregory P., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Tarif access tables were developed for mountain hemlock [Tsuga mertensiana (Bong.) Carr.] on the Deschutes National Forest in the Central Oregon Cascade Mountains from an equation for cubic-foot volume including top and stump (CVTS). These tables provide access to the comprehensive tree-volume tarif system.

Predators associated with hemlock woolly adelgid (Hemiptera: Adelgidae) infested western hemlock in the Pacific Northwest.

Creator:: Kohler, Glenn R.
Abstract:: The hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae, is causing widespread mortality of eastern hemlock, Tsuga canadensis, in the eastern United States. In the West, A. tsugae causes negligible damage to western hemlock, Tsuga heterophylla. Host tolerance traits and presence of endemic predators may be contributing to the relative tolerance of western...

Prescribed fire in a ponderosa pine stand in the Blue Mountains, Oregon : relationships among post-fire scolytidae incidence, delayed tree mortality, snag decay dynamics, and woodpecker snag use

Creator:: Kangas, Michael
Abstract:: Delayed tree mortality is an unpredictable occurrence when prescribed burning is implemented. Fire scorched trees may die as the result of crown scorching, stem charring, root injury, bark beetle attack, or through a combination of these factors. This study examined ponderosa pine mortality and the incidence of two bark beetle...

Impact of fluorides and insects on radial growth of lodgepole pine near an aluminum smelter in Northwestern Montana : a preliminary inquiry

Creator:: Carlson, Clinton E., Hammer, William P., and United States. Forest Service. Northern Region. State & Private Forestry
Abstract:: A study was conducted in summer of 1973 to assess impact of fluoride-insect damage on radial growth of lodgepole pine near the Anaconda Aluminum Company at Columbia Falls, Montana. Statistically significant growth losses attributed primarily to the effects of fluorides were found in 40 14 of 17 unmanaged stands for...
