Western forests, fire risk, and climate change

Creator:: Rapp, Valerie
Abstract:: Climate warming may ﬁrst show up in forests as increased growth, which occurs as warmer temperatures, increased carbon dioxide, and more precipitation encourage higher rates of photosynthesis. The second way that climate change may show up in forests is through changes in disturbance regimes—the long-term patterns of ﬁre, drought, insects,...

Vegetation and ecological characteristics of mixed-conifer and Red Fir forests at the Teakettle Experimental Forest

Creator:: North, Malcolm, Oakley, Brian, Chen, Jiquan, Erickson, Heather, Gray, Andrew, Izzo, Antonio, Johnson, Dale, Ma, Siyan, Marra, Jim, Meyers, Marc, Purcell, Kathryn, Rambo, Tom, Rizzo, Dave, Roath, Brent, and Schowalter, Tim
Abstract:: Detailed analysis of mixed-conifer and red fir forests were made from extensive, large vegetation sampling, systematically conducted throughout the Teakettle Experimental Forest. Mixed conifer is characterized by distinct patch conditions of closed-canopy tree clusters, persistent gaps and shrub thickets. This heterogeneous spatial structure provides contrasting microclimate, habitat and resource conditions...

Restoring forest health : fire and thinning effects on mixed-conifer forests

Creator:: USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station
Abstract:: Even after 140 years without a fire, mixed-conifer forest such as Teakettle’s Experimental Forest has a distinct patch pattern and complex structure. Researcher Malcolm North and colleagues examined the structure and function of these ecosystems and their response to widely used restoration treatments. Collectively the studies found fire was essential...

Fire ecology of ponderosa pine and the rebuilding of fire-resilient ponderosa pine ecosystems

Creator:: Fitzgerald, Stephen Arthur
Abstract:: The ponderosa pine ecosystem of the West have changed dramatically since Euro-American settlement 140 years ago due to past land uses and the curtailment of natural fire. Today, ponderosa pine forests contain over abundance of fuel, and stand densities have increased from a grange of 49-124 trees per ha (20-50...

Composition, volume, and prices for major softwood lumber types in western Oregon and Washington, 1971-2020

Creator:: Weigand, James F.
Abstract:: An analysis of lumber prices provided regressions for price trends during the period 1971-95 for composite lumber grades of major timber species found in the Pacific Northwest west of the crest of the Cascade Range. The analysis included data for coastal Douglas-fir and hem-fir lumber; coastal and inland Pacific Northwest...

Growth and yield of western larch under controlled levels of stocking in the Blue Mountains of Oregon

Creator:: Cochran, P.H.
Abstract:: Repeated thinning to five growing-stock levels resulted in widely differing tree sizes and volumes per acre after 30 years. Largest trees but the least cubic-volume yield per acre were produced in the heaviest thinning level, whereas highest board-foot yields were found in intermediate thinning levels. partial defoliation by larch casebearer...
