The influence of light intensity on the phytochemistry of Chrysolepis chrysophylla (Fagaceae) and the relationship to the herbivory of Habrodais grunus herri (Lycaenidae)

Creator:: Bowden, Richard I.
Abstract:: Defensive chemical and nutritive quality of young leaves were measured for 72 individual trees of Chrysolepis [Castanopsis] chrysophylla in conjunction with light intensities of two different stand types and population numbers of Habrodais grunus herri in the Cascade mountains of Oregon. Leaves were collected in the spring and leaf characteristics...

Biology and Management of Pacific Flatheaded Borer, Chrysobothris mali, in Hazelnut

Creator:: Mugica, Anthony R.
Abstract:: Pacific flatheaded borer (PFB), Chrysobothris mali Horn (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), has recently become a serious pest in newly planted European hazelnut, Corylus avellana L. (Betulaceae) in Oregon. Larvae feeding on the inner bark can lead to girdling, loss of transpiration, and ultimately can cause dieback or death of the tree. Although...

Utilization of low-value lumber from small-diameter logs harvested in Pacific Northwest forest restoration programs in hybrid cross laminated timber (CLT) core layers : a market response

Creator:: Lawrence, Brent
Abstract:: The United States spends about $2 billion each year fighting wildfires. While it is a costly operation, mechanized thinning of dense federal forests is one preventative strategy that generates high volumes of small logs. These small logs are often used for wood chips, pulp, or biomass because of the high...

Potential for Using Boron Compounds with Differing Water Solubilities in Pastes for Remedial Treatment of Utility Poles

Creator:: Uysal, Selim
Abstract:: Boron and boron compounds have been long used for pressure treatment, dip-diffusion, and remedial treatments of wood because of their proven efficacy against fungi and insects. These materials are especially attractive because their high water solubility promotes deeper penetration into wood. Other useful properties of boron include its neutral pH,...

Modeling biomass transport on single lane forest roads and monitoring GPS accuracy for vehicle tracking under different forest canopy conditions

Creator:: Simwanda, Matamyo
Abstract:: The transportation of wood and biomass resources from landing and other collection locations to processing and distribution sites is a substantial cost within the wood supply chain. These high costs provide a basis for research aimed at improving biomass transportation planning decisions and potentially reducing biomass transportation costs. Chip vans...

A characterization of road hydrology in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Gilbert, Erin H.
Abstract:: Forest roads alter hillslope hydrologic processes by intercepting, concentrating, and rerouting storm runoff. Current road drainage guidelines are based on minimizing erosion and do not take into account the impact of forest roads on hillslope hydrology. This work monitors ditch flow and rainfall for 10 road segments over the course...

The phytosanitation of solid wood packaging materials using wood preservatives

Creator:: Schauwecker, Christoph F.
Abstract:: New species introductions have been associated with the movement of people for thousands of years. For instance, horses were introduced into North America by Spanish explorers, while pigs were introduced by the Polynesians into many Pacific islands long before the establishment of permanent European settlements. Both of these species introductions...

Habitat parameters associated with the distribution of seven willow species on a stream in southeastern Oregon

Creator:: Gilbert, Griffith J.
Abstract:: Thirteen different habitat parameters were measured either quantitatively or qualitatively around seven different Salix (willow) species on a defined reach of stream on the southwestern slope of Steens Mountain in southeastern Oregon in order to both broaden the current information base of riparian ecology and inform future willow plantings aimed...

Open Innovation and Corporate Foresight: Practices in Equipment and Technology Suppliers to the US Forest Sector

Creator:: Liu, Ping
Abstract:: Equipment and technology suppliers to the US forest sector are confronting challenges and opportunities to meet the need for disruptive changes in an increasingly complex business environment. Open innovation is crucial for survival and success in the complex and changing operational environment due to its inherent openness and interdisciplinary nature....

Measuring and Modeling the Structure of Coniferous Trees with Point Clouds Data

Creator:: Fang, Rong
Abstract:: Coniferous trees are a major North American crop that has been intensively managed for its commercial value, while also serving as critical habitat for abundant wildlife and as carbon sinks. Having diverse functions, North American temperate coniferous forests have become a research hotspot for numerous scientific studies aiming to integrate...
