Evaluation of six tools for estimating woody biomass moisture content

Creator:: Becerra Ochoa, Fernando Amador
Abstract:: Woody biomass transportation costs and market values/costs are strongly correlated with the woody biomass moisture content. Properly managing moisture content can potentially lead to economic and environmental advantages in biomass energy markets. Good management requires accurate moisture content measurements. Therefore, availability of accurate, precise, reliable, and efficient tools to assess...

Using Acoustic Measurements and Inventory Data to Estimate Stiffness in Standing Douglas-Fir Trees

Creator:: Delgado Trejo, Jorge Luis
Abstract:: Total US lumber production in 2011 was 77.9 million cubic meters. Its primary use was for housing and construction. There is a growing concern that the structural properties for wood are being reduced as trees are harvested at much younger ages as the wood supply shifts from older to younger...

Judicial deference and its potential effect on agency science and natural resource management

Creator:: Grisa, Amanda Marie Schenk
Abstract:: The USDA Forest Services' actions have come under greater scrutiny by a public that has become increasingly concerned with the legality of their actions. Often, challenges involve the quality of science used in the decision-making. Congress has mandated that the agency use the "best available science" in its decision making...

Early genetic selection for wood stiffness in juvenile Douglas-fir and western hemlock

Creator:: Urhan, Oguz S.
Abstract:: Wood modulus of elasticity (MOE), also known as wood stiffness, is one of the most important wood properties. Wood stiffness is a measure of the resistance to deflection, and is important because some products such as laminated veneer lumber, plywood, and dimension lumber require stiff and strong wood. Incorporating wood...

Post-fire Forest Management Activities Alter Soil Properties, Sediment Yields, and Vegetation Recovery in the Northern California Coast Range

Creator:: Cole, Ryan P.
Abstract:: The extent and severity of wildfires in forested regions are increasing throughout many regions on the planet, including western North America. High-severity wildfires directly affect soils and vegetation by altering soil hydraulic properties, reducing soil organic matter, exporting carbon and nitrogen, and killing trees and understory vegetation. These impacts can...

Transition metal and rare earth element fluxes at two sites in the eastern tropical Pacific : relationship to ferromanganese nodule genesis

Creator:: Murphy, Kim Marie
Abstract:: Transition metal and rare earth element (REE) data are presented for various sedimentary materials from two Manganese Nodule Program (MANOP) sites in the eastern tropical Pacific. These data constrain the sources of elemental supply to the seafloor and the processes that control ferromanganese nodule genesis. Investigation of elemental partitioning between...

Natural Variability of Nitrogen and Phosphorus in a Forested Headwater Stream System in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Steadman, Casey L.
Abstract:: Our understanding of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) variability in forested stream systems with minimal disturbance is confounded by the complex interactions of hydrologic and biogeochemical controls. In this thesis, our studies evaluate the variability of stream water N and P in a forested, headwater system in the Oregon Coast...

The Impact of Overlapping Forest Disturbance Across a Stream Network in Western Oregon: Harvesting, Wildfire and Post-Fire Management Effects on Stream Water Nitrate and Riparian Soil Nutrients

Creator:: McCredie, Katherine E.
Abstract:: Understanding the magnitude and longevity of wildfire effects in forested watersheds and subsequent impacts to downstream aquatic ecosystems and communities requires congruent investigation into post-fire aquatic and terrestrial processes. However, results from wildfire studies are often confounded by pre- and post-fire land management actions and based on either hydrologic or...

Human-eagle interactions on the lower Columbia River

Creator:: McGarigal, Kevin
Abstract:: During the past decade (1978-87), breeding success and productivity of bald eagles on the lower Columbia River (LCR) has been far below state and regional averages and well below levels required for delisting under the Endangered Species Act by the Pacific States Bald Eagle Recovery Plan. Human disturbance was suspected...
