  • The economics of carbon sequestration in western Oregon forests

    Creator:
    Im, Eun Ho
    Abstract:
    This study considered regional forest policies for sequestering carbon in existing forests in western Oregon. A model of log markets in western Oregon was employed to examine the impacts of forest policy changes on future carbon stock, harvests, and management activities. A carbon tax program, as a mitigation option for...

  • Three essays on private landowners' response to incentives for carbon sequestration through forest management and afforestation

    Creator:
    Kim, Taeyoung
    Abstract:
    This dissertation consists of three essays on private landowners' response to incentives for carbon sequestration in forests. The first essay examines private landowner response to incentives for carbon sequestration through various combinations of intermediate management practices. The second essay focuses on agricultural landowners' willingness to participate in an incentive program...

  • Measuring costs of carbon sequestration in northwest Russia

    Creator:
    Panchenko, Valentyn
    Abstract:
    Global warming that may cause environmental catastrophes, dramatic economic losses and, in extreme case, may lead to an extinction of human race, is driven by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and others) into atmosphere. It has been shown that forests can efficiently absorb carbon from...

  • Pacific Northwest rangeland carbon sequestration

    Creator:
    Wiggins, Seth T.
    Abstract:
    This paper models the supply curve of carbon sequestration on Pacific Northwest rangelands. Rangeland managers have the ability to sequester carbon in agricultural soils by implementing alternative management practices on their farms. Their low adoption rate in practice suggests a high opportunity cost associated with their implementation. To increase their...

  • Radiative forcing and forest climate policy

    Creator:
    Thompson, Matthew P.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is comprised of two manuscripts that relate to forest-based management strategies in the context of market-based climate change mitigation policies. The work questions the appropriateness of a singular focus on carbon sequestration given the albedo effect and its possible countervailing climatic impacts. Through a review of salient literature...

  • Essays on land-use change, carbon sequestration and emissions in China

    Creator:
    Li, Man
    Abstract:
    China has experienced rapid economic growth in the last twenty years, accompanied by large-scale land conversion, severe environmental degradation, and rising carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. Designing policies for sustainable development requires a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between economic growth, land-use change, carbon sequestration and emissions in China. This dissertation...

  • Essays on location decisions and carbon sequestration strategies of U.S. firms

    Creator:
    Wu, Caiwen
    Abstract:
    Location is a critical component of business decisions. A firm's location decision may be influenced not only by market forces, such as the location of input suppliers, output processors and competitors, but also by government policies if such policies impact their expected profits and are applied non-uniformly across space. Likewise,...

  • Measuring costs of sequestering carbon in forest stands with different management regimes in western Oregon

    Creator:
    Zyrina, Olga A.
    Abstract:
    This project was a part of larger work that compared major factors controlling patterns of carbon dynamics in two regions of the globe, the Pacific Northwest, USA and northwestern Russia. It was funded through the NASA foundation (grant # NAG5- 6242). Human economic activity is causing the release of pollutants...

  • Analysis and operational considerations of biomass extraction on steep terrain in western Oregon

    Creator:
    Flint, Benjamin R.
    Abstract:
    The development of bioenergy from biomass has dominated the minds of forest engineering researchers over the last decade. One of the main themes that has been generated from that research is that bioenergy from biomass has major operational hurdles to overcome before becoming economically feasible. More directly, the impact of...
