Equations for predicting height growth, basal area
growth and diameter inside bark are presented for
Douglas-fir. Basal area growth equations for grand fir
are also presented. The growth models were developed
for use in an individual tree/distance independent
growth simulator. Various model forms and measures of
competitive stress were compared...
Previous studies of bird communities in the mid-Willamette Valley, Oregon, indicated that Oregon white oak (Ouercus garryana) stands supported more cavity-using bird
species than sympatric stands of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Mature Oregon oak stands are being harvested and few are regenerating. I compared cavity availability for hole-using fauna among 10...
