The economics of carbon sequestration in western Oregon forests

Creator:: Im, Eun Ho
Abstract:: This study considered regional forest policies for sequestering carbon in existing forests in western Oregon. A model of log markets in western Oregon was employed to examine the impacts of forest policy changes on future carbon stock, harvests, and management activities. A carbon tax program, as a mitigation option for...

An analysis of technical efficiency and productivity growth in the Pacific Northwest sawmill industry

Creator:: Helvoigt, Ted L.
Abstract:: The objective of this project was to investigate technical efficiency and productivity growth in the Pacific Northwest sawmilling industry over the period 1968-2002. Productivity growth was decomposed into three components: technical change, efficiency change, and scale efficiency change. In addition, using econometric methods, changes in output elasticities and input substitution...

Carbon flux patterns on U.S. public timberlands under alternative timber harvest policies

Creator:: Shanks, Alyssa V.
Abstract:: This study considers trade-offs between timber harvest and carbon sequestration on National Forest and other public lands by contemporaneously linking a model of public harvest and inventory to a carbon accounting system. The public harvest model treats three harvest scenarios. The first minimizes the cost of meeting harvest requests that...

Private timber harvest potential in Eastern Oregon

Creator:: Adams, Darius Mainard, 1944-, Latta, Gregory S., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Growing stock inventory on industrial and nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) lands in eastern Oregon has declined over the past 20 yr, as harvesting and mortality losses to insects and disease have outpaced growth. Over the same time period, harvest rates on private lands have varied, with no distinct trend to...

Non-linear nitrogen dynamics and calcium depletion along a temperate forest soil nitrogen gradient

Creator:: Sinkhorn, Emily R.
Abstract:: Understanding how N availability influences base cation stores is critical for long-term ecosystem sustainability. Indices of nitrogen (N) availability and the distribution of nutrients in plant biomass, soil, and soil water were examined across ten young, unpolluted Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stands in the Oregon Coast Range spanning a three-fold soil...

Wood properties and use of sensor technology to improve optimal bucking and value recovery of Douglas-fir

Creator:: Acuna, Mauricio A.
Abstract:: There are a number of wood properties which affect the quality of forest products such as lumber and pulp. Of these, wood density is considered by some to be the single most important physical characteristic because it is an excellent predictor of strength, stiffness, hardness, and paper-making capacities. Accurately assessing...

Converting forest biomass to energy in Oregon : stakeholder perspectives on a growing movement

Creator:: Stidham, Melanie
Abstract:: Within Oregon there is considerable interest in the possibility of converting woody biomass to energy. This interest stems from three converging factors: the desire to reduce the threat of uncharacteristic wildfire by removing excess material from the forests, the possibility to stimulate rural economies that are dependent on forest products,...

Likelihood analysis of the multivariate ordinal probit model for repeated and spatial ordered categorical responses

Creator:: Li, Yonghai
Abstract:: This dissertation is about the likelihood analysis of ordered categorical responses in a longitudinal/spatial study, meaning regression-like analysis when the response variable is categorical with ordered categories, and is measured repeatedly over time or space on the experimental or sampling units. Particular attention is given to the multivariate ordinal probit...

Fighting tradition : Hemingway’s Nick Adams and shell shock

Creator:: McGrath, Cole P.
Abstract:: In his Nick Adams stories, Ernest Hemingway traces the life of a single man as he moves from boyhood to adolescence to adulthood to fatherhood. From the beginning of Nick Adams life, it is clear that he does not fit into the role of the traditional hero. In addition, Nick...
