This publication is a reference guide for forest soils productivity and management. Main topics include (1) understanding and managing risk, (2) soil characteristics that affect productivity, (3) soil survey information for forestland managers/management of soil erosion, (4) managing mass wasting risk, (5) managing soil disturbance, and (6) maintaining adequate nutrient...
In February of 1975, the School of Forestry sponsored a series of lectures and discussions on the topic, "Forests of the World-Future Resources Conflicts." The objectives of these presentations were to examine prospects for future forest use, the demands that will be made on forest resources of all sorts, the...
The surface mining of coal has accelerated in
northwest Colorado to the point where public pressure
plus impending state and federal regulations dictate the
need for comprehensive reclamation plans. A large coal
company operating in Moffat County has solicited recommendations
concerning soils, hydrogeology, geomorphology,
aesthetics, wildlife, vegetation, microclimatology, and
legal...
We report results from an oyster hatchery on the Oregon coast, where intake waters experienced variable carbonate chemistry (aragonite saturation state < 0.8 to > 3.2; pH < 7.6 to > 8.2) in the early summer of 2009. Both larval production and midstage growth (∼ 120 to ∼ 150 µm)...
This book provides an illustrated guide to the identification and management of fungi, insects, and abiotic conditions that cause problems in Northwest bareroot conifer nurseries. A key to nursery pests offers initial guidance in identification. Separate chapters address individual pests with details on recognition, damage cycle, and management practices to...

These are the proceedings of the third short course in the management of young Douglas-fir and western hemlock conducted by the School of Forestry, Oregon State University, June 15-18, 1970.
The course included one day of lectures and discussion on the campus of Oregon State University, two all-day field trips...
A log step develops when large woody debris extends across the active
channel, creating a change in the water surface elevation as the stream
spills over the log step. By forming a series of vertical falls, log
steps reduce the amount of potential energy available for conversion to
kinetic energy...
