Equations for predicting height to crown base for fourteen tree species in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Ritchie, Martin W., Hann, David W., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Equations are presented for predicting height to crown base (or bole ratio) for fourteen species of trees common to the mixed-conifer zone of southwest Oregon. Nonlinear regression was used to fit a weighted logistic function for each species. The independent variables include height, crown competition factor in larger trees, stand...

Soil and growth studies in Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] stands near Molalla, Oregon

Creator:: Strand, Robert Fenton
Abstract:: In 1957 three Douglas-fir stands (15-, 25-, and 40-year-old age classes) were selected on a tree farm in the Cascade foothills of northwestern Oregon to study factors affecting site productivity. Soil-moisture, soil-temperature and seasonal radial- growth pattern measurements were made with a Colman moisture meter and a dial gauge dendrometer...

Modeling light competition in the forests of western Oregon

Creator:: Hanus, Mark L.
Abstract:: A plant's immediate neighborhood reflects its realized level of competitive stress, since competition and natural selection act at the individual level. In stands with continuous canopies competition for light is the dominant spatial interaction. Over 100 spatially explicit indices have been used to characterize the local competitive environment in models...

Predicting height for undamaged and damaged trees in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Hanus, Mark L., Hann, David W., and Marshall, David D.
Abstract:: Equations for predicting tree height as a function of diameter outside bark at breast height are presented for various tree species common to southwest Oregon. Data for damaged and undamaged trees were analyzed with weighted nonlinear regression techniques. The effects of specific damaging agents and their severity on the height-diameter...

Asymptotic height-diameter equations for twenty-four tree species in western Oregon

Creator:: Garman, Steven L. (Steven Lee), 1955-, Acker, Steven A., Ohmann, Janet L., Spies, Thomas A. (Thomas Allen), and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Equations for predicting height from diameter outside bark at breast height (DBH) were generated for 24 tree species in western Oregon. The equations were based on the asymptotic Chapman-Richards function. Because geographic location and site productivity may influence height-diameter relationships, height-diameter measures from 8727 plots were first grouped by site...

Disaggregative and individual-tree growth models in theory and application

Creator:: Ritchie, Martin W.
Abstract:: Disaggregative and individual-tree/distance-independent modeling methods are compared and contrasted. Differences between the two are related to differences in functional and apparent resolution and may be illustrated using aggregation theory. When considering models of different levels of resolution describing a given phenomenon, invariance with respect to the aggregation implied (symmetry) may...

Enhanced diameter-growth-rate equations for undamaged and damaged trees in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Hann, David W., Hanus, Mark L., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Equations for predicting the 5-yr diameter-growth rate of a tree are presented for eight conifer and nine hardwood tree species from southwest Oregon. Equation parameters for undamaged and damaged trees combined were estimated by weighted nonlinear regression. The resulting equation for Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] explained more than 71%...

Predicting height to crown base for undamaged and damaged trees in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Hanus, Mark L., Hann, David W., Marshall, David D., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Equations for predicting height to crown base are presented for tree species from southwest Oregon. Equations for undamaged and damaged trees were estimated with weighted nonlinear regression techniques. The effects of specific damaging agents on the height to crown base were explored, and damage correction factors were estimated. The damage...

Reducing stand densities in immature and mature stands, Applegate Watershed, Southwest Oregon

Creator:: Main, Marty L. and Amaranthus, Michael P.
Abstract:: Throughout the Applegate watershed, dense, overstocked, immature stands of mixed conifers and hardwoods and declining stands of mature conifers present significant and complex silvicultural problems. Stand stagnation is common, as is loss of largediameter conifers from insects and wildfire. Treatments designed to maintain or encourage development of large-diameter conifers have...
