Best management practices for maintaining soil productivity in the Douglas-fir region

Creator:: Angima, S. D., Terry, Thomas A., Dobkowski, Alexander, Campbell, Steve, Grizzel, Jeffrey D., Harrison, Robert B., Heninger, Ronald L., Maguire, Douglas A. (Douglas Alan), Miller, Richard E., Page-Dumroese, Deborah S., Scott, William, Zabowski, D., and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: This publication is a reference guide for forest soils productivity and management. Main topics include (1) understanding and managing risk, (2) soil characteristics that affect productivity, (3) soil survey information for forestland managers/management of soil erosion, (4) managing mass wasting risk, (5) managing soil disturbance, and (6) maintaining adequate nutrient...

Soil respiration, carbon and nitrogen leaching, and nitrogen availability in response to harvest intensity and competing vegetation control in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Slesak, Robert A.
Abstract:: Management practices following forest harvest can affect long-term soil productivity through alteration of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools, but processes contributing to change are poorly understood. I assessed effects of three levels of logging-debris retention in combination with initial or annual applications of competing vegetation control (CVC) following...

A key to the literature on forest growth and yield in the Pacific Northwest, 1910-1981

Creator:: Hann, David W., Riitters, K. H. (Kurt H.), and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Tables are presented that summarize 108 published articles on forest growth and yield in the Pacific Northwest. Each table describes the form of the information presented, the species to which the information is applicable, the data sources used to develop the information, the data needed to predict growth and yield,...

Acidifying soil for crop production : Inland Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Oregon State University. Extension Service, Washington State University. Extension, University of Idaho. Extension, Horneck, Donald Arthur, Wysocki, Donald John, 1952-, Hopkins, Bryan G., Hart, John M. (John Mervyn), 1947-, Stevens, Robert G., and Pacific Northwest Cooperative Extension
Abstract:: This publication is a technical and practical guide for soil acidification in commercial fields. It explains the soil chemistry involved, how to determine whether pH adjustment is feasible, and methods for acidifying soil. This guide is divided into five sections: • Understanding soil pH • The problem—iron chlorosis • Causes...

Analyzing patterns of woody plant richness at multiple spatial scales with modeled photosynthesis

Creator:: Swenson, Jennifer J.
Abstract:: The hump-shaped relationship that predicts highest species richness (species/unit area) at intermediate levels of productivity was examined for woody plants across the Pacific and Inland Northwest of the U.S. Many studies have examined this relationship at regional scales, but commonly use species range maps and surrogate measures of productivity (e.g....

Influences of nitrogen on carbon dynamics in forest soil and density fractions

Creator:: Swanston, Christopher W.
Abstract:: Application of N fertilizer is a common forest management practice in the Pacific Northwest, yet the long-term influence of fertilization on forest soil properties is not well known. Although elevated N often increases mineralization of C and N from labile organic matter, negative effects have been documented in recalcitrant organic...

Productivity interfirm comparison : methodologies with a special application to the Northwest food processors

Creator:: Park, Tongkyu
Abstract:: Based on the premise that interfirm comparison can be an effective productivity improvement tool, productivity interfirm comparison (PIC) methods are examined in this research. The first part is an extensive literature review regarding the conventional interfirm comparison (IFC) scheme accepted widely in many countries outside the United States. Then, the...

Functional profiles of soil microbial communities in second-growth Douglas-fir forests of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: McGinnis, Megan L.
Abstract:: Forests are one of the largest repositories of terrestrial C. Understanding factors that drive organic matter transformations and nutrient efflux from these systems is therefore highly important. Temperate forests are of particular significance due to the large fraction of C that is stored below ground in the soil. Characterizing nutrient...
