One traditional problem in forest management is to
find the optimal stand level management regime. Four
important silvicultural practices including precommercial
thinning, commercial thinning, fertilization and regeneration
harvest are considered jointly in this study. The
partial analyses, i.e. considering some of the silvicultural
practices, are also discussed.
The inability to...
Discusses the benefits of having a management plan for your property. Describes how to prepare a management plan, including describing the property, setting goals, identifying resources, making recommendations, and keeping records. Includes additional sources for information.
In the field of forest planning, assumptions regarding the appropriate modeling of management behavior, translated through management prescriptions, minimum harvest ages, green-up periods, and other variables are needed if a stand-level optimization process is not used to guide the selection of stand management regimes Forest planners thus generally have a...
The study presents two main parts: first, a review
of tropical silviculture and forest management systems
and, second, the investigation of a growth and yield
model which has some potential for application in the
tropical region. The presentation of tropical
silviculture includes: (1) an overview of the biological
characteristics of...
This capstone report provides an overview of the emergence of the bigleaf maple sugaring industry in Oregon. This report consists of a literature review and three case studies. The literature review compiles information relevant to bigleaf maple sugaring within the wider context of maple sugaring in North America. The three...
Dataset contains a 2015 partial re-measurement of the Blue Mountains Fire and Fire Surrogate study. 8 plots were measured from each of the 16 units, selected
randomly from all plots in each unit. Species are recorded using USDA plant codes, "UNKN" is unknown species. For fine fuels, 3 Brown's transects...
Few studies examine whether public attitudes toward forest management practices differ between public and private forests, with virtually no recent studies examining these differences in the Pacific Northwest, despite the coexistence of millions of acres of both public and private forest lands. Knowing whether public attitudes differ between public and...
