Long-term patterns of diameter and basal area growth of old-growth Douglas-fir trees in western Oregon

Creator:: Poage, Nathan Jeremy and Tappeiner, John C., II
Abstract:: Diameter growth and age data collected from stumps of 505 recently cut old-growth Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) trees at 28 sample locations in western Oregon (U.S.A.) indicated that rapid early and sustained growth of old Douglas-fir trees were extremely important in terms of attaining large diameters at ages 100–300...

Clonal expansion and seedling recruitment of Oregon grape (Berberis nervosa) in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests: comparisons with salal (Gaultheria shallon)

Creator:: Huffman, David W. (William), 1962- and Tappeiner, John C.
Abstract:: Seedling regeneration and morphology of Oregon grape (Berberis nervosa Pursh) and salal (Gaultheria shallon Pursh) were studied in thinned and unthinned Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) stands in the central Coast Range, Oregon. Above- and below-ground growth of both species were significantly and negatively correlated with stand density. Oregon grape...

Salmonberry and salal annual aerial stem production: the maintenance of shrub cover in forest stands

Creator:: Tappeiner, John C., Zasada, John C., Huffman, David W. (William), 1962-, and Ganio, Lisa M.
Abstract:: Annual sprouting of aerial stems and ramets enables populations of salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis Pursh), salal (Gaultheria shallon Pursh), and probably other forest shrubs to maintain dense covers (>20 000 stems/ha). We studied annual stem production of salmonberry on cut (all stems cut within 15 cm of the ground) and uncut...

Crown structure and growth efficiency of red spruce in uneven-aged, mixed-species stands in Maine

Creator:: Maguire, Douglas A., Brissette, John C., and Gu, Lianhong
Abstract:: Several hypotheses about the relationships among individual tree growth, tree leaf area, and relative tree size or position were tested with red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) growing in uneven-aged, mixed-species forests of south-central Maine, U.S.A. Based on data from 65 sample trees, predictive models were developed to (i) estimate the...

Methods for evaluating crown area profiles of forest stands

Creator:: Dubrasich, Michael E., Hann, David W., and Tappeiner, John C., II
Abstract:: Canopy architectures of five structurally complex forest stands and three structurally simple forest stands in southwest Oregon and the Willamette Valley, Oregon, were evaluated and quantified through crown area profiles. Mixed conifer and mixed conifer-hardwood stands across a range of sites were sampled for crown widths and heights. Crown width...

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...

Intensifying a heuristic forest harvest scheduling search procedure with 2-opt decision choices

Creator:: Bettinger, Pete, 1962-, Boston, Kevin, and Sessions, John
Abstract:: Forest management problems with even-flow and adjacency considerations are difficult to solve optimally. A heuristic search intensification process, which uses two types of decision procedures, changes to single-decision choices (1-opt moves) and changes to two-decision choices simultaneously (2-opt moves), was used in an attempt to locate feasible and efficient solutions...

Conifer response to three silvicultural treatments in the Oregon Coast Range foothills

Creator:: Walter, Scott T. and Maguire, Chris C.
Abstract:: This study assessed growth, condition, and mortality of residual trees one decade after harvest across three silvicultural treatments in thirty 85- to 125-year-old Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) stands in the Oregon Coast Range foothills. Group-selection cuts had 33% of the entire stand volume extracted as patches approximately 0.2–0.8 ha...

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....

Influence of precommercial thinning on understory vegetation of young-growth Sitka spruce forests in southeastern Alaska

Creator:: Cole, Elizabeth C., Hanley, Thomas A., and Newton, Michael
Abstract:: The effects of precommercial thinning on the understory vegetative cover of 16- to 18-year-old spruce–hemlock (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carrière – Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) stands were studied in seven replicate areas over seven growing seasons postthinning. Vegetative cover was analyzed at the class level, but species-specific effects were examined in...
