Richer : a data enrichment subroutine

Creator:: Hamerly, Eddie R., U.S. International Biological Program. Coniferous Forest Biome, and University of Washington
Abstract:: RICHER is a sophisticated interpolation routine which allows the user to generate data for points he does not have. The following activities are at best marginally legitimate. A. Regenerate a dataset at a different step size (monthly points instead' of bimonthly) B. Estimate, missing data due to equipment failure C....

A computer simulation study of the relative efficiency of several forest sampling techniques as influenced by the spatial distribution of trees found in five major forest types of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Payandeh, Bijan
Abstract:: This study was initiated to determine the relative efficiency of systematic, stratified and simple random sampling for crown area and tree frequency estimation of five of the major forest types found in the Pacific Northwest. Several of the more common methods of estimating spatial distribution coefficients were evaluated. Finally the...

Generation of an animation interface for ORGANON

Creator:: Hanus, Mark L.
Abstract:: The focusing of public attention on the practices of forest managers has resulted in the need for new tools to help explain the results of these practices. The traditional tools of tables and graphs of numerical values require a significant investment in learning the forestry profession. Once the investment is...

Stand level silvicultural optimization utilizing a late-seral index constraint

Creator:: Semeliss, Wade Alan
Abstract:: A dynamic programming algorithm (MS PATH) was used to develop a stand level optimization model, FPS Optimizer. The model incorporates a late-seral constraint on the profit maximizing objective function utilizing a four-descriptor structural index as a proxy. This index, the 'Old-Growth Index', rates the late-seral structural quality of a given...

Assessing the need for transformation of response variables

Creator:: Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory, Sabin, Thomas E., and Stafford, Susan G.
Abstract:: Violations of one or more of the assumptions made In analysis of variance (ANOVA) or linear regression analysis may lead to erroneous results. Often data will not conform to the assumptions implicit in the analyses, but transforming the data to a different scale may lead to an appropriate model. Before...

Probability proportional to size sampling of Douglas-fir from aerial photography

Creator:: Rogers, Roger Allan
Abstract:: This experiment was designed to investigate the use of volume estimations from aerial photography and probability proportional to size (PPS) sample selection in the development of a practical sampling design for timber volume estimation on small land areas of Pacific Northwest Douglas -fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii, Franco). The major problem of...

ISØ : a contour plotter allowing full labeling of title, X and Y axes

Creator:: Hamerly, Eddie R., U.S. International Biological Program. Coniferous Forest Biome, and University of Washington
Abstract:: A convenient method of portraying functions of n dimensions to aid modeling is needed. Unfortunately, visual representations are limited to only two independent variables. ISO was written to partially meet the demands of two-independent-variable graphics.

Extending southwest Oregon's Douglas-fir dominant height growth equation to older ages

Creator:: Hann, David W. and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Hann and Scrivani (1987) developed dominant height growth equations for Douglas- fir in southwest Oregon using stem analysis data sets with an upper age of approximately 125 years at breast height. The objective of this study was to determine whether these equations could be extrapolated for ages of 250 years...

Stand structure simulation based on individual tree units

Creator:: Farnum, Peter, U.S. International Biological Program. Coniferous Forest Biome, and University of Washington
Abstract:: A model is developed to simulate basal area growth and mortality for forest stands using individual trees as the basic units. Yearly diameter increment, probability of death, and height-diameter relationship are computed from a competition measure which is based on crown overlap. This model is used to simulate the growth...
