Interrelationships among northern flying squirrels, truffles, and microhabitat structure in Sierra Nevada old-growth habitat

Creator:: Pyare, Sanjay and Longland, William S.
Abstract:: During 1997–1998, we investigated the influence of both the relative abundance of truffles, preferred food items, and microhabitat structure on the occurrence of northern flying squirrels (Glaucomys sabrinus Shaw) in oldgrowth forest habitat of the Sierra Nevada Range, U.S.A. Following live-trapping sessions, we searched the forest floor for truffle diggings...

Density, ages, and growth rates in old-growth and young-growth forests in coastal Oregon

Creator:: Tappeiner, John C., Huffman, David W. (William), 1962-, Marshall, David, Spies, Thomas A., and Bailey, John D.
Abstract:: We studied the ages and diameter growth rates of trees in former Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) old-growth stands on 10 sites and compared them with young-growth stands (50-70 years old, regenerated after timber harvest) in the Coast Range of western Oregon. The diameters and diameter growth rates for the...

Stem form and compression wood formation in young Pinus radiata trees

Creator:: Lachenbruch, Barbara, Droppelmann, Fernando, Balocchi, Claudio, Peredo, Miguel, and Perez, Erika
Abstract:: The crooked stems of some individuals of radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) can hinder volume recovery and wood quality. To infer causes of crookedness and to learn how angle affects compression wood (CW) formation we studied 4+1-year old trees in southern Chile. Eight initially straight and 8 initially crooked...

Diversity and productivity of hypogeous fungal sporocarps in a variably thinned Douglas-fir forest

Creator:: Colgan, Wesley, Carey, Andrew B., Trappe, James M., Molina, Randy, and Thysell, David
Abstract:: Although ecosystem management techniques are designed to enhance species diversity in managed forests, no comprehensive study has been conducted to evaluate effects of such techniques on diversity and productivity of hypogeous fungi (truffles). During this study, truffles were collected in a 55- to 65-year-old Douglas-fir forest from March 1993 through...

Modeling the incidence and severity of hemlock dwarf mistletoe in 110-year-old wind-disturbed forests in Southeast Alaska

Creator:: Trummer, L. M., Hennon, P. E., Hansen, E. M., and Muir, P. S.
Abstract:: A model was developed to predict the severity of dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium tsugense (Rosendahl) G.N. Jones) in western hemlock trees (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) that developed within forests of Southeast Alaska that experienced near-catastrophic windthrow in the late 1800s. The model suggests that the degree of dwarf mistletoe severity on...

Stumps fumigated with chloropicrin: effects on surrounding plants

Creator:: Luoma, Daniel L. and Thies, Walter G.
Abstract:: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) stumps, both healthy and infected by Phellinus weirii (Murr.)Gilbertson, were fumigated with chloropicrin at a clearcut site on Washington s Olympic Peninsula. Vegetation cover on plots adjacent to treated and untreated stumps was evaluated to determine fumigant effects on vascular plants and moss. Ninety-eight vascular...

Structure and yield of two-aged stands on the Willamette National Forest, Oregon: implications for green tree retention

Creator:: Acker, Steven A., Zenner, E. K., and Emmingham, W. H.
Abstract:: Green tree retention, a practice based on ecosystem science, has been integrated into forest management as a working hypothesis, requiring research and monitoring to quantify its effects. We undertook a retrospective study of natural, two-aged forest stands on the Willamette National Forest to provide preliminary estimates of the effects of...

Relationships of density, microfibril angle, and sound velocity with stiffness and strength in mature wood of Douglas-fir

Creator:: Lachenbruch, Barbara, Johnson, G. R., Downes, G., and Evans, R.
Abstract:: The relative importance of density, acoustic velocity, and microfibril angle (MFA) for the prediction of the stiffness (MOE) and strength (MOR) has not been well established for Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). MOE and MOR of small clear specimens of mature wood were better predicted by density and velocity than by either...

Effects of height imputation strategies on stand volume estimation

Creator:: Garber, Sean M., Temesgen, Hailemariam, Monleon, Vicente J., and Harm, David W.
Abstract:: Subsampling and subsequent imputation of tree heights can improve the predictive performance of stand volume estimation but may also introduce biases. Using coastal Douglas-fir data from southwest Oregon, USA, the predictive performance of several height imputation strategies for estimating stand volume was evaluated. A subsample of 1-15 trees was randomly...

Financial feasibility of marker-aided selection in Douglas-fir

Creator:: Johnson, G. R., Wheeler, N. C., and Strauss, S. H.
Abstract:: The land area required for a marker-aided selection (MAS) program to break-even (i.e., have equal costs and benefits) was estimated using computer simulation for coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) in the Pacific Northwestern United States. We compared the selection efficiency obtained when using an index that included the phenotype...
