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...
This study investigated the mechanisms involved in the
regulation of stomatal closure in Douglas-fir and evaluated
the potential impact of compensatory adjustments in
response to increasing tree height upon these mechanisms.
In the laboratory, we measured leaf hydraulic conductance
(Kleaf) as leaf water potential (Yl) declined for comparison
with in...
Using an extensive Douglas-fir data set from southwest Oregon, we examined the (1) performance and suitability of selected prediction strategies, (2) contribution of relative position and stand-density measures in improving tree height (h) prediction values, and (3) effect of different subsampling designs to fill in missing h values in a...
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing has demonstrated potential in measuring forest biomass. We assessed the ability of LiDAR to accurately estimate forest total above ground biomass (TAGB) on an individual stem basis in a conifer forest in the US Pacific Northwest region using three different computer software programs...
Equations for predicting total height as a function of diameter at breast height are presented for 17 tree species from southwest Oregon. Because basal area and site index often influence tree height, additional equations are presented which may include either or both of these as independent variables. Equation coefficients were...
This thesis offers a textual analysis of Emily Bronte's
novel Wuthering Heights and, to a lesser extent, her poems
in an effort to understand fully the complicated
relationship of gender to time that characterizes her
artistic imagination.
The study emphasizes the interplay of religious,
psychological and sexual forces inherent in...
