  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Silviculture practices for riparian forests in the Oregon Coast Range Author: Emmingham, William H., Mikowski, Dan, Chan, Samuel S., Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory, Owston, Peyton W., Bishaw, Badege This publication is aimed at watershed councils, government agencies, and specialists (foresters, wildlife and fisheries biologists) interested in riparian area silviculture or watershed restoration. It contains information on the ecology of riparian forests and a checklist of recommended practices and common mistakes made in restoring conifers to hardwood-dominated riparian forests. Our recommendations are based on 1) an evaluation of 34 riparian restoration projects spanning the Coast Range of Oregon, 2) three case studies of riparian restoration projects, and 3) ongoing research projects aimed at learning how to establish or release conifers in riparian forests. We found that project managers were choosing appropriate conifer species and stock types for planting, but the survival and growth of conifers in the understory were poor. Managers were underestimating the competitive power of shrub and hardwood communities. In some cases, conflicting objectives and lack of priority setting led to the failure of expensive projects. We hope this publication will assist managers in efforts to restore healthy riparian forests and dwindling fish stocks.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The valuation of outdoor recreation in a multiple-use forest Author: Queirolo, Lewis E., Gibbs, Kenneth C., Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory, Lomnicki, Craig The authors describe a consistent and theoretically sound methodology for evaluating nonmarket uses of forest resources, particularly those associated with recreation. The analytical methodology is applied to a forest management unit. Present net worth of developed campgrounds and dispersed recreation activities on Oregon State Department of Forestry Lands in 1977 were estimated as $4.26 and $7.92 per visitor-day, respectively. Although these results are unique to the resource base analyzed, the application typifies the procedures employed, the type of data required, and the kinds of answers the technique can provide. The model can easily be adapted to different situations by changing assumptions and conditions.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Landscape Management Policy Simulator (LAMPS) : version 1.1 : user guide Author: Lennette, Marie, Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory, Bettinger, Pete, 1962- The LAndscape Management Policy Simulator (LAMPS) model, version 1.1, is a spatial simulation model developed to provide forest landscape planning simulations for the Coastal Landscape Analysis and Modeling Study (CLAMS). It is designed to help policymakers, managers, and planners think through alternative management scenarios and their potential effects on the ecological and economic resources of Oregon's Coast Range forests. LAMPS simulates changes to landscape structure over time, incorporating the management intentions of the four major landowner groups and vegetation dynamics. Socioeconomic and ecological information is used to track and allocate activities across the landscape. LAMPS projects, with relatively high resolution, forest conditions across broad areas, all ownership groups, and a planning horizon of 100 yr. This user guide provides instructions on how to use LAMPS for forest landscape simulations of alternative forest policies for the Coast Range of Oregon.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Annotated references on managing young forests in the Douglas-fir region Author: Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory, Berg, Alan B. This bibliography lists selected references useful to the forester in managing young forests in the Douglas-fir region. The references pertain to those management activities that are carried on in the forest from stand regeneration until final harvest. Emphasis is on silvicultural, operational, and economic aspects of management, but social and ecological aspects are also included. The publications are those that a practicing forester in the Pacific Northwest should have in his library or should at least be aware of. Most publications listed can be obtained by writing to the author or the issuing agency. The general publications and proceedings cover a variety of subjects on forest management. For example, subjects such as economics, ecology, and operations, although not listed by subject, are covered in the proceedings. Spacing tests begun in 1925 at the Wind River Douglas-fir plantation by the Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station with 1-1 seedlings are the oldest tests in the Pacific Northwest. They show trends in stand growth and development for spacings of 4 x 4, 5 x 5, 6 x 6, 8 x 8, 10 x 10, and 12 x 12 feet. Table 1 is a summary of that information periodically for the first 43 years. ' The levels-of-growing-stock cooperative study in Douglas-fir is in its early years. The publications describe the thinning regimes, the study areas, and the cooperators. During the next year, publications on several of the study areas will cover early response. The bibliography is not exhaustive, and the selection of publications is the sole responsibility of the author.
