Abstract:: Soil organic matter levels, soil temperature and moisture, and vegetation properties were measured along a sequence of death and regeneration in a mountain hemlock (Tsuga mertensiana) forest. The sequence is produced by slowly moving waves of the root pathogen Phellinus weirii. While analysis of variance for all sampled soil layers...

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...

Creator:: Meigs, Garrett W.
Abstract:: Fire is a fundamental disturbance that drives terrestrial and atmospheric carbon dynamics. Previous studies have quantified fire effects on carbon cycling from local to global scales but have focused nearly exclusively on high-severity, stand-replacement fire. Since 2002, variable-severity wildfires have burned more than 65 000 ha across the east slope...

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...
