Live-tree carbon in the Pacific Northwest : estimates and uncertainties

Creator:

Melson, Susanna L.

Abstract:

Concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere has increased over the past 150 years. Because CO₂ is one of a number of radiatively active gases, there is concern that global temperatures will rise and climatic conditions will change. Recent research indicates northern hemisphere forests may currently be accumulating carbon...

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...

The effects of increased supply and emerging technologies in the forest products industry on rural communities in the northwest U.S.

Creator:

Crandall, Mindy S.

Abstract:

The development of a market for currently non-merchantable forest material, such as harvest residues of tops and limbs of trees or small diameter trees, has been suggested as a possible win-win solution that could: (i) provide a financial incentive to help motivate treatments to reduce wildfire risk or restore forest...

The impact of the Staggers Rail Act of 1980 on Pacific Northwest wheat transportation : a spatial equilibrium analysis

Creator:

Cabeza, Felix

Abstract:

This study analyzes the impact of the 1980 Staggers Rail Act (SRA) on Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana) wheat transportation. A minimum cost uncapacitated transshipment network flow model is employed to simulate the origination and destination pattern of grain flows before (1977) and after (1985) the SRA. The...

Northwest forest plan effects on county net migration and employment growth : causality of policy variables, timing of response, relevant time periods, rural vs. metro policy effects and effects on industry employment

Creator:

Eichman, Henry N.

Abstract:

County-level net migration and employment growth rates associated with the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) are examined. The NWFP area encompasses federal land in 53 Oregon, Washington and California counties; 20 counties adjacent to NWFP counties are also included in the sample. The NWFP was enacted in December of 1993, however,...

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...

Pacific Northwest rangeland carbon sequestration

Creator:

Wiggins, Seth T.

Abstract:

This paper models the supply curve of carbon sequestration on Pacific Northwest rangelands. Rangeland managers have the ability to sequester carbon in agricultural soils by implementing alternative management practices on their farms. Their low adoption rate in practice suggests a high opportunity cost associated with their implementation. To increase their...

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...
