An opportunity cost approach to land preservation in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Aliski, Leon David
Abstract:: This study estimates a range of opportunity costs associated with three land management alternatives for a site in the Oregon Coast Range. A 35,000 acre site was selected which includes a mix of federal and private land ownership and provides significant biological resources. The first alternative examines a plan for...

Young stand thinning in Western Oregon : cost comparison of harvesting alternatives and comparison of time study techniques

Creator:: Hossain, Mohammad Mozaffar
Abstract:: Harvesting costs were determined for commercial thinning of young stands to achieve vegetation and wildlife objectives. This included replicated comparisons of thinning treatments. Treatments were defined based on residual tree stocking after thinning. Study procedures were developed and evaluated to improve statistical relevance. Multiple linear regression models were used to...

Logging planning and layout costs for thinning : experience from the Willamette Young Stand Project

Creator:: Kellogg, L. D. (Loren D.), Milota, Ginger, Stringham, Bennett, and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Logging planning and layout costs were examined for commercial thinning of 40- to 50-yr-old stands of Douglas-fir on the Willamette National Forest in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon. The study consisted of four replications of three silvicultural treatments. Thinning involved three types of logging systems: mechanized cut-to-length (a combination of...

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...

Skyline thinning production and costs : experience from the Willamette Young Stand Project

Creator:: Kellogg, L. D. (Loren D.), Miller, Mark E., Olsen, Eldon D., and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Production rates and costs for skyline harvesting were examined over a range of residual thinning intensities, operational methods, and sites. The sites included three stands of 40- to 50-yr-old Douglas-fir on the Willamette National Forest in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon. Three silvicultural treatments were studied at two sites, and...

Using contingent valuation method to determine optimal user fees for the recreational use of McDonald Forest, Oregon

Creator:: Imaizumi, Yuji
Abstract:: Forest recreation is one of the many non-commodity functions of forests that have experienced a rapid growth in demand in the past few decades. Even faster growth in demand for recreation is expected for several decades. However, such growing demand for forest recreation is often not well perceived by owners...

Thinning aged Douglas-fir : an analysis of mobilization costs and a log bucking strategy for revenue improvement

Creator:: Pilkerton, Stephen J.
Abstract:: Contract harvest operations have become the preferred approach to reducing the largest cost component of timber production through free market competition amongst logging contractors bidding or negotiating for work. The goal of this research was to investigate economic components of harvesting operations not previously studied for steep slope thinning harvests...
