The Oregon Coast Range contains large acreages of nonstocked
high site land. With the increasing demand for wood products, more
attention is being given to the problems of reforesting these lands.
This study develops financial guidelines to the reforestation
of nonstocked high site lands. A number of possible owner constraints...
Old-growth forests provide an important resource in terms of both
timber and non-timber values. Northwest Oregon represents an area
where this resource is scarce and options for preserving old-growth
habitat are limited. This study identifies the old-growth resource on
public lands within the area, suggests a range of preservation
alternatives...
Existing forest site maps have been described as "invaluable
tools" in forest management. Their, economic value potentially materializes
as the summed advantage from better decisions in all phases of
forestry.
Via Bayesian decision analysis, this study establishes optimal
use and economic value of site information for one facet of management...
One of the most vexing problems facing the United States Forest
Service in Western Oregon concerns its management of undeveloped
forested lands. Many of these areas contain highly productive timberland,
and restriction of timber harvesting to preserve the land's
primitive character can be very costly. Also there are conflicting
pressures...
A complex and sometimes serious problem facing modern day forest
managers is that of estimating and analyzing potential on-site impacts
which result from forest activities. A major type of adverse impact
is man-Initiated forest erosion. This consequence can be substantially
magnified when forest harvest and road activities are implemented in...
