Tools for measuring your forest [2014]

Creator:: Huff, Tristan and Bowers, S. (Steven Clay)
Abstract:: Tools woodland owners need to measure property acreage, boundaries, and characteristics of standing timber, including individual log volumes, are described.
Resource Type:: Technical Report
Full Text:: each of these tasks (Figure 1). Forests and forest products can be measured efficiently and pre

Tarif access tables : a comprehensive set

Creator:: Bowers, S. (Steven Clay), Reeb, J. E. (James Edmund), 1951-, Parker, Robert, 1941-, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Tarif numbers are essential for calculating the volume of standing timber on forest land. This publication includes comprehensive tarif numbers for six species of Oregon timber--Douglas-fir, grand fir, ponderosa pine, red alder, western hemlock, and western redcedar--and the corresponding tree volumes.
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Tarif access tables : a comprehensive set

Creator:: Bowers, S. (Steven Clay), Coleman, Nate, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Tarif access and tree volume tables in this publication are for Douglas-fir, grand fir, ponderosa pine, red alder, western hemlock, and western redcedar. Tarif numbers range from 15 to 60, allowing you to estimate virtually any tree volume for the listed species, based on diameter at breast height (DBH) and...

Measuring timber products harvested from your woodland

Creator:: Oester, Paul T., Bowers, S. (Steven Clay), and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: This publication describes measurements used to buy and sell timber products. Managing woodland property offers you the opportunity to harvest a variety of products, depending on timber quality and quantity, harvest economics, and market availability. Among these products are saw logs, peeler logs, pulpwood, fuelwood, poles, piling, and posts. Knowledge...

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) : what we can and cannot see in the forest for the trees

Creator:: Edson, Curtis B.
Abstract:: Recently concerns over anthropogenic carbon pollution have received increased global attention and research in forest biomass and carbon sequestration has gained momentum. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing has in the last decade demonstrated forest measurement and biomass estimation potential. The project objective was to compare LiDAR forest biomass...

A Methodology to directly input data from an uncontrolled aerial photograph into a vector based geographic information system

Creator:: Sneed, Jacquelin M.
Abstract:: Historically the U.S. Forest Service has used uncorrected aerial photographs to delineate proposed and past management activities on the land base it manages. Transferring a boundary from an image not planimetrically correct to a planimetrically corrected image introduces errors. Positional accuracy of boundaries affects the number of acres the Forest...

Estimating volume and value on standing timber in hybrid poplar plantations using terrestrial laser scanning : a case study

Creator:: Barnett, Jennifer S.
Abstract:: Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) may provide a way to increase timber value recovery by replacing manual timber cruising with a simple-to-use, cost-effective alternative. TLS has been studied in several trials worldwide. Past studies have not compared TLS based estimates with mill estimates of stem value and volume. Three differently stocked...

Measuring your trees

Creator:: Bowers, S. (Steven Clay), Reeb, J. E. (James Edmund), 1951-, Parker, Robert, 1941-, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Procedures outlined in this publication show how to estimate standing volume and annual growth of individual timber stands that are relatively uniform in species, age, size, and density. Estimates of volume and growth are helpful in planning when to harvest or how much to remove in a thinning operation. These...

Examination of imputation methods to estimate status and change of forest attributes from paneled inventory data

Creator:: Eskelson, Bianca N. I.
Abstract:: The Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program conducts an annual inventory throughout the United States. In the western United States, 10% of all plots (one panel) are measured annually, and a moving average is used for estimating current condition and change of forest attributes while alternative methods are sought in...

Estimation and modeling of selected forest metrics with lidar and Landsat

Creator:: Strunk, Jacob L.
Abstract:: Lidar is able to provide height and cover information which can be used to estimate selected forest attributes precisely. However, for users to evaluate whether the additional cost and complication associated with using Lidar merits adoption requires that the protocol to use lidar be thoroughly described and that a basis...
