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...

Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement on Management of Habitat for Late-Successional and Old-Growth Forest Related Species Within the Range of the Northern Spotted Owl

Creator:: United States. Forest Service and United States. Bureau of Land Management
Abstract:: The Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management propose to adopt coordinated ecosystem management direction for the lands they administer within the range of the northern spotted owl. This Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SETS) presents as alternatives the options, with slight modifications, developed by the Forest Ecosystem Management Assessment...

Analysis of the regional carbon balance of Pacific Northwest forests under changing climate, disturbance, and management for bioenergy

Creator:: Hudiburg, Tara W.
Abstract:: Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have been steadily increasing from anthropogenic energy production, development and use. Carbon cycling in the terrestrial biosphere, particularly forest ecosystems, has an important role in regulating atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide. US West coast forest management policies are being developed to implement forest bioenergy production while...

Environmental effects of postfire logging: literature review and annotated bibliography

Creator:: McIver, James D. and Starr, Lynn
Abstract:: The scientific literature on logging after wildfire is reviewed, with a focus on environmental effects of logging and removal of large woody structure. Rehabilitation, the practice of planting or seeding after logging, is not reviewed here. Several publications are cited that can be described as 'commentaries', intended to help frame...

Rivers and Roads : Exploring How Environmental Governance Impacts State Management of Forest Roads

Creator:: Detwiler, Stacey M.
Abstract:: This study explores how environmental governance mechanisms affect state management of forest roads to address the chronic delivery of sediment to streams in Oregon, Washington, and California on private and state forestlands. Forest roads can degrade water quality and harm aquatic life when runoff mobilizes fine sediments from the road...

A contingent valuation study of the value of reducing fire hazards to old-growth forests in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Loomis, John B., Gonzalez-Caban, Armando, and Gregory, Robin (Robin Scott)
Abstract:: A contingent valuation methodology was applied to old-growth forests and critical habitat units for the Northern Spotted Owl in Oregon to esimate the economic value to the public in knowing that rare and unique ecosystems will be protected from fire for current and future generations. Generalizing to the whole state,...

Political Ideology and Environmental Concern as Predictors of Attitudes toward Forest Management Practices in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Arnold, Molly L.
Abstract:: 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...

Attitudes of forest managers toward dispersed recreation on roaded forest lands in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Moutsinas, Cynthia Martha
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to describe the nature and extent of managers' attitudes toward dispersed recreation, identify reasons for managers' pro and con attitudes and to evaluate factors in the managers' background which might be correlated with their attitudes toward dispersed recreation, Questionnaires distributed via agency were used...

Case studies of red alder and Sitka alder in Douglas-fir plantations : nitrogen fixation and ecosystem production

Creator:: Binkley, Dan
Abstract:: Seven case studies of 11 ecosystems were used to examine the effects of nitrogen-fixing alders in Douglas-fir plantations. The first case study quantified nitrogen (N) fixation and aboveground net primary production in a young Sitka alder [Alnus sinuata (Regel) Rydb.] ecosystem. At 5 yr of age, the N fixation (C₂2H₂...
