Abstract:: Foresters in the Pacific Northwest are directing increasing effort into the management of young-growth forests. These foresters find themselves in a transition period in which they are beginning to develop the framework for managing young-growth forests while they continue to manage substantial reserves of old-growth timber. In this transition period,...

Creator:: Wang, Chao-huan
Abstract:: This paper describes methods that can be used to evaluate stand and tree growth response to a single application of fertilization and/or thinning with data collected from multiple installations. Two kinds of methods were proposed: (1) structure analysis which applies covariance analysis in a blocked design with and without sampling...

Creator:: Barber, Richard L.
Abstract:: Harvest scheduling and stand level optimization have generally been regarded as separable problems. Some studies have attempted to jointly optimize a wide range of stand treatments and a forest wide harvest schedule using combinations of mathematical programming techniques. The mathematical programming forest level techniques presume perfect information on production, costs...

Creator:: Riegel, Gregg M.
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to determine which environmental resources, light, water, and nutrients, control understory plant production and composition in a Pinus ponderosa forest in northeastern Oregon. A split-plot experimental design, with three blocks, four treatments, and 44 plots, was established in the summer of 1985. Twenty plots...
