Life Cycle Assessment of Biomass for Generation of energy : Case Studies of Poplar Management in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S.A.

Creator:: Vasquez Sandoval, Marcia A.
Abstract:: A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the production of poplar biomass grown under four management conditions in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of the U.S.A. was conducted. While the extraction of fossil fuels and the subsequent generation of energy have environmental impacts, the alternative of extracting poplar biomass also has impacts...

Spatially-explicit prediction of recoverable harvesting residues

Creator:: Schmidt, Christian F. W.
Abstract:: In order to decide whether or not to develop biomass energy facilities and where to best locate them, developers and investors need accurate assessments of fuel supply. This includes information about the distribution and concentration of fuel throughout the assessment area, the quality of fuel (form, moisture content, contaminant content,...

The effects of increased supply and emerging technologies in the forest products industry on rural communities in the northwest U.S.

Creator:: Crandall, Mindy S.
Abstract:: The development of a market for currently non-merchantable forest material, such as harvest residues of tops and limbs of trees or small diameter trees, has been suggested as a possible win-win solution that could: (i) provide a financial incentive to help motivate treatments to reduce wildfire risk or restore forest...

The influence of light, temperature and humidity on the herbicidal activity of bromoxynil (3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzo-nitrile) on Amsinckia intermedia

Creator:: Zimmerman, Martin (Martin Joseph)
Abstract:: The use of bromoxynil (3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile) to control broadleaf weeds in cereal crops has become widespread. This herbicide has not always performed satisfactorily for reasons which were not clearly evident. The effects of temperature, light and humidity on the herbicidal activity of bromoxynil on coast fiddleneck, Amsinckia intermedia, were studied. Fiddleneck...

Paleo-oceanography of the subtropical southeastern Pacific during late Quaternary : a study of radiolaria, opal and quartz contents of deep-sea sediments

Creator:: Molina-Cruz, Adolfo
Abstract:: Micropaleontological data have been analyzed through mathematical and statistical procedures, in order to: (1) establish the distribution pattern of radiolarian assemblages in the surface sediments, (2) establish the relationship of these assemblages with oceanographic variables, (3) determine the faunal composition down-core with respect to the faunal surface pattern, and (4)...

Growth in herbaceous perennials

Creator:: Nakajima, Rie
Abstract:: Several studies of herbaceous perennials have addressed the effects of environmental factors during and after production, inherent cold hardiness, and post-harvest handling procedures to enhance flowering and growth during establishment. The regrowth of both woody and herbaceous forage plants following establishment is reported to be directly related to reserve-nitrogen content....
