A Multi-Spatial Scale Economic Analysis of the Impacts of Bear Damage to Douglas-fir on Private Timberlands in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Kline, Kristina N.
Abstract:: Black bears (Ursus americanus) in western Oregon and Washington peel bark from conifers in early spring to forage on the sugar-rich phloem and cambial tissues. This provides important energy at a time when similarly attractive forage is scarce. Bears often damage Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) trees in stands that are intensively...

A production function analysis of water resource productivity in Pacific Northwest agriculture

Creator:: Holloway, Milton L.
Abstract:: The competition or rivalry for the use of water resources among economic sectors of the Pacific Northwest and among geographical regions of the western United States has intensified in recent years. This rivalry and the long run prospects for water shortages have increased the demand for research concerning the productivity...

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...

Biochemical conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol : experimental, enzymatic hydrolysis modeling, techno-economic and life cycle assessment studies

Creator:: Kumar, Deepak
Abstract:: Ethanol production from lignocellulosic feedstock has been under intense scrutiny as a transportation fuel due to its potential to address concerns of increasing energy consumption, limited fossil energy resources, climate changes due to greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, and especially use of non-food biomaterials, which address the biggest limitation...

Cost-efficient management of aquatic invasive species : application to New Zealand mudsnails in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Lim, Youngah
Abstract:: By affecting the ecological, pecuniary and aesthetic productivity of ecosystems, invasive species (IS) increase production and management costs to business, while straining public agencies' budgets with monitoring, enforcement and management efforts. Understanding invasion pathways or vectors, and identifying costs and benefits of alternative management strategies are critical to public and...

Distortions to travel cost derived demand curves : water quality and durable goods

Creator:: Garifo, Susan E.
Abstract:: The travel cost method of deriving demand and value of recreation does not include fixed costs of recreational durable goods purchases or allow for supply restrictions on the number of suitable sites available. The omission of these two real-world situations results in derivation of demand curves which are more inelastic...
