Relationships between climate, radial growth and wood properties of mature loblolly pine in Hawaii and a northern and southern site in the southeastern United States

Production rates of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) in favorable exotic environments indicate that full biological expression of growth potential in loblolly pine has not yet been attained in its native range. In previous work, high productivity in a loblolly pine plantation in Hawaii (HI) was hypothesized to be related to a more favorable climate conducive to year...

Spotted owl home range and habitat use in the southern Oregon Coast Range.

We radiotracked 9 adult spotted owls (Strix occidentalis) in the southern Oregon Coast Ranges for 6-12 months. Owls selected home ranges that emphasized old growth within the landscape. Minimum convex polygon home ranges of 4 pairs were 1,153-3,945 ha and contained 726-1,062 ha of old growth. The percentages of. the home ranges in old growth were...

Stand-scale habitat associations across a large geographic region of an old-growth specialist, the marbled murrelet

We used two metrics, occupancy and relative abundance, to study forest stand characteristics believed to be important to a threatened seabird that nests in old-growth forests, the Marbled Murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus). Occupancy refers to murrelet presence or absence based on observed bird behaviors, while relative abundance refers to...

Maximum growth potential in loblolly pine: results from a 47-year-old spacing study in Hawaii

Growth, allocation to woody root biomass, wood properties, leaf physiology, and shoot morphology were examined in a 47-year-old loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) density trial located in Maui, Hawaii, to determine if stands continued to carry the high density, basal area, and volume reported at younger ages and to identify potential factors controlling...

Chapter 20: Relationship of Marbled Murrelets with Habitat Characteristics at Inland Sites in California

We examined the range and the relationships of Marbled Murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus) behavior with habitat and landscape characteristics in isolated old-growth and residual forest stands from 2 to 400 ha in California. In large contiguous stands of old-growth forest in parks, we examined relationships of murrelet detections with elevation and...

Collection of wood quality data by X-ray densitometry: a case study with three southern pines

X-ray densitometry is a technique often used in tree growth and wood quality studies to incrementally measure density (specific gravity) along a radial strip of wood. Protocols for this technique vary between laboratories because of differences in species, equipment, tree age, and other factors. Here, the application of X-ray densitometry is discussed in terms of a...

Northwest Forest Plan–the first 20 years (1994-2013): status and trends of late-successional and old-growth forests

This is the third in a series of periodic monitoring reports on LSOG or latesuccessional and old-growth (older) forest status trends on federally administered lands since implementation of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP or the Plan) in 1994. The objective of this monitoring is to determine if the NWFP is providing for conservation and management of older forests as...

Surfing the Koehler Curve: revisiting a method for the identification of longleaf pine stumps and logs

Measurements of pith and second growth ring diameters were used by Koehler in 1932 to separate longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) timbers from those of several southern pines (e.g., loblolly, shortleaf). In the current study, measurements were taken from plantation-grown longleaf, loblolly and shortleaf pine trees, as well as old growth longleaf pine, lightwood, and...

Variation among slash pine families in chlorophyll fluorescence traits

Abstract: Photochemical quenching, nonphotochemical quenching, and yield of photosystem II were measured on seedlings of full-sibling, open-, and self-pollinated slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. elliottii) families. Our results reveal that genetic variation in photochemical quenching and yield of...

Integrating large wildfire simulation and forest growth modeling for restoration planning

One of the major science gaps in U.S. wildfire policy is the lack of studies on the long-term benefits of hazardous fuel reduction and restoration programs. For instance, there is little information available to predict the impact of current fuel management and restoration on wildfire activity and whether these fuel reduction activities will meet expectations in terms...

An empirical, integrated forest biomass monitoring system

The fate of live forest biomass is largely controlled by growth and disturbance processes, both natural and anthropogenic. Thus, biomass monitoring strategies must characterize both the biomass of the forests at a given point in time and the dynamic processes that change it. Here, we describe and test an empirical monitoring system designed to meet those needs. Our...

Northwest Forest Plan–the first 15 years (1994–2008): status and trends of late-successional and old-growth forests

Late-successional and old-growth (LSOG) monitoring characterizes the status and trends of older forests to answer such questions as: How much older forest is there? Where is it? How much has changed and from what causes? Is the Northwest Forest Plan (the Plan) maintaining or restoring older forest ecosystems to desired conditions on federal lands in the Plan area? This...
