Innovativeness in the global forest products industry: Exploring new insights

Creator:: Hansen, Eric, Juslin, Heikki, and Knowles, Christopher David
Abstract:: Innovativeness is a concept that has seen extensive study, yet there remain significant gaps in our understanding of the phenomenon. This is especially true when considering views of practitioners as well as specific industry sectors, such as the forest products industry. The qualitative work described here explores the concept of...

Decomposition vectors: a new approach to estimating woody detritus decomposition dynamics

Creator:: Harmon, Mark E., Krankina, Olga N., and Sexton, Jay
Abstract:: A chronosequence of three species of logs (Pinus sylvestris L., Picea abies (L.) Karst, and Betula pendula Roth.) from northwestern Russia was resampled to develop a new method to estimate rates of biomass, volume, and density loss. We call this resampling of a chronosequence the decomposition-vector method, and it represents...

The effects of factor supply assumptions on intertemporal timber supply behavior: the cases of investable funds and land

Creator:: Adams, Darius M., Alig, Ralph J., McCarl, Bruce A., Winnett, Steven M., and Callaway, J.M.
Abstract:: Intertemporal timber supply models typically assume perfect capital markets and perfectly inelastic supplies of land. Using a dynamic model of U.S. timber and agriculture markets, we examine (i) borrowing limits or capital constraints, in which investment in forest management on nonindustrial private ownerships is restricted, and (ii) a nonzero elasticity...

Building material preferences with a focus on wood in urban housing: durability and environmental impacts

Creator:: Høibø, Olav, Hansen, Eric, and Nybakk, Erlend
Abstract:: As societies urbanize, a growing proportion of the global population, and an increasing number of housing units will be needed in urban areas. High-rise buildings and environmentally friendly, renewable materials must play important roles in sustainable urban development. To achieve this, it is imperative that policy makers, planners, architects, and...

Spatial and temporal quantification of forest residue volumes and delivered costs

Creator:: Wells, Lucas A., Chung, Woodam, Anderson, Nathaniel M., and Hogland, John S.
Abstract:: Growing demand for bioenergy, biofuels, and bioproducts has increased interests in the utilization of biomass residues from forest treatments as feedstock. In areas with limited history of industrial biomass utilization, uncertainties in the quantity, distribution, and cost of biomass production and logistics can hinder the development of new bio-based industries....

Assessing innovativeness in the North American softwood sawmilling industry using three methods

Creator:: Knowles, Christopher David, Hansen, Eric, and Shook, Steven R.
Abstract:: Using a mail questionnaire targeted 500 softwood sawmills in the United States and Canada, firm innovativeness was assessed using three methods: (1) current technology, (2) self-evaluation, and (3) a new scale -- the propensity to create and adopt scale. The results of the these three methods were then compared to...

An econometric analysis of output supply and input demand in the Canadian softwood lumber industry

Creator:: Latta, Gregory S. and Adams, Darius M.
Abstract:: Few studies have examined the own-price elasticity of Canadian softwood lumber supply or output-adjusted factor demand elasticities over the past two decades, despite the utility of these measures in understanding producer response to tariffs, to market shifts (such as the decline in U.S. public harvest), and to changes in domestic...

Effects of silvicultural practices on carbon stores in Douglas-fir – western hemlock forests in the Pacific Northwest, U.S.A.: results from a simulation model

Creator:: Harmon, Mark E. and Marks, Barbara
Abstract:: We used a new model, STANDCARB, to examine effects of various treatments on carbon (C) pools in the Pacific Northwest forest sector. Simulation experiments, with five replicates of each treatment, were used to investigate the effects of initial conditions, tree establishment rates, rotation length, tree utilization level, and slash burning...

Tree-ring analysis of the fungal disease Swiss needle cast in western Oregon coastal forests

Creator:: Lee, E. Henry, Beedlow, Peter A., Waschmann, Ronald S., Burdick, Connie A., and Shaw, David C.
Abstract:: Swiss needle cast (SNC), an important fungal disease of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), has increased in severity throughout its natural and introduced range over the last half century. The role of climate change and forest management practices in the increase is unclear. We analyzed tree-ring chronologies from six late-successional...

Analysis and comparison of nonlinear tree height prediction strategies for Douglas-fir forests

Creator:: Temesgen, H., Monleon, V. J., and Hann, D. W.
Abstract:: Using an extensive Douglas-fir data set from southwest Oregon, we examined the (1) performance and suitability of selected prediction strategies, (2) contribution of relative position and stand-density measures in improving tree height (h) prediction values, and (3) effect of different subsampling designs to fill in missing h values in a...
