Radiative forcing and forest climate policy

Creator:: Thompson, Matthew P.
Abstract:: This thesis is comprised of two manuscripts that relate to forest-based management strategies in the context of market-based climate change mitigation policies. The work questions the appropriateness of a singular focus on carbon sequestration given the albedo effect and its possible countervailing climatic impacts. Through a review of salient literature...

Carbon flux patterns on U.S. public timberlands under alternative timber harvest policies

Creator:: Shanks, Alyssa V.
Abstract:: This study considers trade-offs between timber harvest and carbon sequestration on National Forest and other public lands by contemporaneously linking a model of public harvest and inventory to a carbon accounting system. The public harvest model treats three harvest scenarios. The first minimizes the cost of meeting harvest requests that...

An economic assessment of western Oregon's private forests with streamside management restrictions

Creator:: Schillinger, Randall R.
Abstract:: Management restrictions are simulated on streamside acres owned by private interests in western Oregon to assess forest inventory and log market implications. A dynamic, nonlinear optimization model of western Oregon's softwood log market simulates the resource and economic impacts of set-aside and minimum harvest age restrictions on forest acreage within...

Effects of econometric and activity analysis derived supply curves on Canadian sawmilling industry market forecasts

Creator:: Latta, Gregory S.
Abstract:: This study utilizes the Timber Assessment Market Model (TAMM) to examine the differences in Canadian softwood lumber market forecasts arising from econometric versus activity analysis supply curves. A restricted profit function approach is applied to three lumber producing regions using the most recent data available on costs, prices, and output...

A comparison of the value of forest plans developed under three levels of detail regarding management intentions

Creator:: Hirte, Sarah Rebecca
Abstract:: In the field of forest planning, assumptions regarding the appropriate modeling of management behavior, translated through management prescriptions, minimum harvest ages, green-up periods, and other variables are needed if a stand-level optimization process is not used to guide the selection of stand management regimes Forest planners thus generally have a...

Local economic impacts of changes in the availability of public timber

Creator:: Eppley, Linda M.
Abstract:: For many resource-based communities throughout Oregon the timber industry plays an important role. In many of these areas, federal land holdings comprise a large proportion of the area's land holdings. Management decisions regarding resource use on the National Forest lands can have a major influence on the stability of local...

Non-linear nitrogen dynamics and calcium depletion along a temperate forest soil nitrogen gradient

Creator:: Sinkhorn, Emily R.
Abstract:: Understanding how N availability influences base cation stores is critical for long-term ecosystem sustainability. Indices of nitrogen (N) availability and the distribution of nutrients in plant biomass, soil, and soil water were examined across ten young, unpolluted Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stands in the Oregon Coast Range spanning a three-fold soil...

The use of electrochemical micromachining for making a microfloat valve

Creator:: Park, Sang-Bin
Abstract:: Micromanufacturing consists of processes for producing structures, devices or systems with feature sizes measured in micrometers. Micromanufacturing began in the mid-1960's with microelectronics fabrication technology. In the 1980's, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) began to be developed, in which electrical and mechanical subsystems were integrated at small scales. More recently, Microtechnology-based Energy...

Converting forest biomass to energy in Oregon : stakeholder perspectives on a growing movement

Creator:: Stidham, Melanie
Abstract:: Within Oregon there is considerable interest in the possibility of converting woody biomass to energy. This interest stems from three converging factors: the desire to reduce the threat of uncharacteristic wildfire by removing excess material from the forests, the possibility to stimulate rural economies that are dependent on forest products,...
