Structure and development of old-growth Douglas-fir in central western Oregon

Creator:: Poage, Nathan Jeremy
Abstract:: The tree species and size structure of 9l old-growth forests dominated by Douglas-fir in central western Oregon was characterized using complete inventories of all trees larger than 20cm dbh over a mean area of 17.1ha at each site. Douglas-fir accounted for over 75% of the total average basal area (39.1...

Age structure and spatial pattern of old-growth ponderosa pine in Pringle Falls Experimental Forest, central Oregon

Creator:: Morrow, Robert J.
Abstract:: The dynamics of stands In old-growth ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests on the eastern flank of the central Oregon Cascades are Investigated. Age structure and spatial pattern of ponderosa pine within the Pringle Falls Experimental Forest Research Natural Area coupled with the fire history of the area aid In Interpreting...

Land cover at northern spotted owl nest and non-nest sites, east-central Coast Ranges, Oregon

Creator:: Perkins, John P.
Abstract:: This study examined the differences, at various scales, between northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) nest sites and non-nest sites, i.e., sites where no nests were found during surveys, in the Coast Ranges of Oregon. I compared land cover around 41 owl nest sites (ONS) and 41 non-nest sites (NNS)...

Development, fire history and current and past growth, of old-growth and young-growth forest stands in the Cascade, Siskiyou and mid-coast mountains of southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Sensenig, Thomas S.
Abstract:: I evaluated fire occurrence, growth and recruitment and determined the fire history of 21 old and 20 young 8ha stands in Cascade, Siskiyou and mid-Coast mixed conifer and evergreen forests in southwestern Oregon. The rates and patterns of growth were measured and analyzed on 1,079 old-growth and 2,111 young stand...

Community structure of old-growth Juniperus occidentalis woodlands

Creator:: Waichler, Wendy Sims
Abstract:: Knowledge of old-growth Juniperus occidentalis woodlands, which occur in central and eastern Oregon, is limited. Wise management of these woodlands necessitates a better understanding of the community ecology. The community structure of woodlands at seven sites in three areas of central Oregon was studied. Measurements taken at nine plots per...

Foliar respiration in an old-growth coniferous forest

Creator:: Cooper, Clifton E.
Abstract:: Foliar respiration forms a large component of the carbon balance of any coniferous forest. We examine seasonal, interannual, spatial and interspecific variation of foliar maintenance respiration in a forest in Washington, USA, with measurements made quarterly for >4 years on 400-year old trees of Pseudotsuga menziesii, Tsuga heterophylla and Thuja...

Comparing structure and development of Douglas-fir old-growth, plantations, and young natural forests in western Oregon

Creator:: Dowling, Christopher D.
Abstract:: Ages, diameter growth, density, tree size, and species were studied in old-growth, plantation, and young natural Douglas-fir stands in three areas in western Oregon: the western and eastern Coast Range and the western Cascades. The purpose was to compare the development of these three stand types and to determine whether...

Tree species-soils relationships in old-growth forests of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Cross, Alison
Abstract:: Tree species directly and indirectly affect soil nutrient cycles. I sought to characterize soils and foliage associated with four common canopy tree species (Douglas-fir, western hemlock, western redcedar, and bigleaf maple) in mixed-species old-growth forests of the Oregon Coast Range and to determine whether and how soils differ among the...

Development of two coniferous stands impacted by multiple, partial fires in the Oregon Cascades : establishment history and the spatial patterns of colonizing tree species relative to old-growth remnant trees

Creator:: Goslin, Matthew N.
Abstract:: Trees that survive disturbances can form a prominent legacy which may influence post-disturbance successional pathways. The effects of biological legacies on community dynamics is a critical question in ecology. In the present study, I examined two mapped stands in which old-growth remnant trees, survivors of partial fires, emerge above a...
