Attitudes of forest managers toward dispersed recreation on roaded forest lands in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Moutsinas, Cynthia Martha
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to describe the nature and extent of managers' attitudes toward dispersed recreation, identify reasons for managers' pro and con attitudes and to evaluate factors in the managers' background which might be correlated with their attitudes toward dispersed recreation, Questionnaires distributed via agency were used...

Case studies of red alder and Sitka alder in Douglas-fir plantations : nitrogen fixation and ecosystem production

Creator:: Binkley, Dan
Abstract:: Seven case studies of 11 ecosystems were used to examine the effects of nitrogen-fixing alders in Douglas-fir plantations. The first case study quantified nitrogen (N) fixation and aboveground net primary production in a young Sitka alder [Alnus sinuata (Regel) Rydb.] ecosystem. At 5 yr of age, the N fixation (C₂2H₂...

A comparison of subregional lumber, plywood and log markets in the Douglas-fir region

Creator:: Haven, Lisa
Abstract:: Subregional log market differences are defined and analyzed. Seven demand and seven supply centers are initially specified. Log demand factors inspected are mill capacity, processed wood species, cost and profitability conditions distinguished by product and subregion. They are preliminarily linked to a regional market model through product price transmission. An...

Attenuation of rainfall intensity by forest canopies

Creator:: Keim, Richard F.
Abstract:: Interception of precipitation by forest canopies has been found previously to reduce rainfall intensity, but this effect is poorly understood. The goal of this research is to quantify the attenuation of rainfall intensity by forest canopy interception, with the specific objective of estimating the contribution of this attenuation to hillslope...

An economic analysis of pulp, paper and board exports from the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Thevenon, Michel Jean
Abstract:: The objective of this study is to investigate those economic considerations that may limit the ability of the Pacific Northwest's pulp and paper industry to compete with other regions producing pulp, paper and board for world markets. The share of the Pacific Northwest and the United States in world trade...

Sensitivity of TRIM projections to management and stocking adjustment assumptions

Creator:: Alexander, Susan J.
Abstract:: The Timber Resource Inventory Model (TRIM) is a computer model used by the U.S.D.A. Forest Service in assessing the state of the Nation's forest resources and the forests' probable future conditions. TRIM is a yield table projection system designed and developed to model forest inventory changes over time in response...

Applications of Soil Science in Forest Landscape Planning : Challenges and Opportunities in the 21st Century

Creator:: Craigg, Terry Lee
Abstract:: Soils and other resource programs in both public land management agencies and private industry are continually being adapted to the challenges of evolving knowledge and experience in the field of forestry. This dissertation explores new ways of thinking about and using soils information in forest planning and management, with a...

Correlation between structural heterogeneity and arthropod biodiversity : implications for management of Pacific Northwest forests

Creator:: Madson, Stephanie Lee
Abstract:: The "old-growth controversy" in the Pacific Northwest recognized thinning as the primary silvicultural practice for land managers to produce wildlife habitat while continuing to produce timber. For the foreseeable future, forest stands will be harvested to produce forest gaps and a patchwork of trees of different ages. In order to...

Carbon storage in a Pacific Northwest conifer forest ecosystem : a chronosequence approach

Creator:: Janisch, Jack E.
Abstract:: As concern over global warming intensifies, sequestration and storage of atmospheric CO2 has become an important scientific and policy issue. Confusion persists, however, over interpretation of forest carbon (C) source-sink dynamics, in part because conclusions drawn depend on temporal and spatial scales of analysis (e.g. day-week scale vs. successional-scale), type...

Forest canopy sturcture in western Oregon : characterization, methods for estimation, prediction, and importance to avian species

Creator:: Fiala, Anne C. S.
Abstract:: Characterization of canopy structure, the horizontal and vertical distribution of the tree crowns in a forest, is important for the management of forests in the Pacific Northwest. The canopy is an important habitat element for many wildlife species, canopy structure affects understory development, and influences various natural processes, such as...
