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...

Influence of log truck traffic and road hydrology on sediment yield in western Oregon

Creator:: Miller, Rebecca H.
Abstract:: An understanding of the factors that influence surface erosion from roads is necessary to prevent and mitigate sediment production from forest roads. This study investigated the impacts of log truck traffic and road hydrology on sediment yield from ten forest road segments in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains of...

Timber harvesting, processing, and employment in the northwest economic adjustment initiative region : changes and economic assistance

Creator:: Raettig, Terry L. and Christensen, Harriet H.
Abstract:: The Northwest economic adjustment initiative (NWEAI) provides economic assistance to a region including western Washington, western Oregon, and northern California. Timber harvests have fallen markedly in this region since 1990. The forest products industry is the largest manufacturing sector in the region, and employment has followed the downward trend in...

Examining effectiveness of Oregon’s forest practice rules for maintaining warm-season maximum stream temperature patterns in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Fleuret, Jennifer Marie
Abstract:: Stream temperature, as an important component of stream ecosystems, can be affected by forest harvesting through removal of riparian shade and changes in hydrology. Riparian Management Areas (RMAs), as implemented through the current Oregon Forest Practice Rules, are designed, in part, to maintain stream temperature following forest harvesting. However, effectiveness...

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...

The value of forested landscapes for adjacent residents of an urban forest

Creator:: Kimura, Takashi, 1956-
Abstract:: Forested landscapes displaying evidence of timber harvesting have often induced conflicts between forest managers and the public. Potential conflicts with neighboring homeowners also has been increasing because of growing environmental concern and increasing numbers of neighbors. Analysis of previous studies suggests that people's reaction toward forested landscapes will be different...

Estimating a juniper biomass supply from private rangelands : the impact of distance and biotic factors on costs

Creator:: McCaulou, Jeff C.
Abstract:: Central Oregon has attracted attention as a potential location for a biomass industry based on a locally fixed source of western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis Hook) feedstock. This study identifies a supply of juniper from private lands to determine how much of the available juniper is economically supplied at alternative prices...
