Biomass to Bio-Products Supply Chain Abstract approved: Karl R. Haapala Growing awareness and
Douglas-fir (Psuedotsuga menziesii) biomass and nutrient removal under varying harvest scenarios involving co-production of timber and feedstock for liquid biofuels

Creator:

Coons, Kristin L.

Abstract:

In this study an improved model of biomass and nutrient estimation of coastal Douglas-fir (Psuedotsuga menziesii) in the Pacific Northwest has been developed across a wide range of stand management regimes. This study quantifies and defines the type and intensity of biomass harvest and associated removal for actively managed stands...
