Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an XML-based format for distributing Web
content. With RSS, you can regularly gather information from Web sites—without
actually visiting them—and deliver the information to your computer as a “feed.”
Because you can subscribe to just those feeds that are of interest to you, RSS puts
you in control of the information you receive from the Web.
To better meet users’ needs, the PNW Research Station has made its popular
content available as RSS 2.0 feeds. You now can subscribe to and receive feeds
of the station’s news releases, event announcements, and publications.
How to Subscribe
To subscribe to RSS feeds, you first need a “reader”—a software program that allows you to aggregate RSS feeds. Many readers are available, often free of charge
and downloadable from the Web. Visit our Web site to find links to free downloads.
After installing a reader, you can add feeds from a Web site by clicking on the
feeds button. With some readers, after clicking on the feeds button, you will have to
manually copy and paste the feed’s URL into your reader’s toolbar.
What Happens After You Subscribe
After you subscribe to a feed, summaries of and links to the available postings from
that feed are automatically sent to your reader. Then, whenever a new station news
release, event announcement, or publication is published to the Web, you’ll receive
a posting of that document in your reader, along with a summary and access to a
full-text version of the document.

What Is Treesearch?
Treesearch is an online system for locating and delivering publications by
Research and Development scientists in the USDA Forest Service. Publications
in the collection include research monographs published by the agency as well
as papers written by our scientists but published by other organizations in their
journals, conference proceedings, or books. Research results behind these
publications have been peer-reviewed to ensure the best quality of science.
Searching for
Publications
Treesearch lets you search
listings by author, keyword,
originating station, or date.
Keyword searches examine
both the title and abstract.
Viewing
and Printing
Publications
Once you have selected
a publication, you can
view and print the entire
publication online. All
publications listed in
Treesearch have their
full text available online,
usually in Adobe’s
Portable Document Format
(PDF). In some cases, the
publications have been
scanned from the original using optical character recognition, a process that
can result in errors. For this reason, some publications offer two PDF versions,
a compact file with captured text plus a larger “pristine” version in which text
is represented graphically. Either way, your computer will need Adobe Acrobat

Linked in: connecting riparian areas to support
forest biodiversity. Science Findings 120. Portland,
OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service,
Pacific Northwest Research Station. 6 p.
Many forest-dwelling species rely on both terrestrial
and aquatic habitat for their survival. These species,
including rare and little-understood amphibians and
arthropods, live in and around headwater streams
and disperse overland to neighboring headwater
streams. Forest management policies that rely on
riparian buffer strips and structure-based management—practices meant to preserve habitat—address
4
only some of these habitat needs. They generally
do not consider the overland connectivity necessary
for these species to successfully move across a
landscape to maintain genetically diverse populations. Management in headwater areas also can
affect downstream salmon habitat. Landslides and
debris flows initiated in these areas can severely
degrade habitat by dumping too much sediment and
not enough large wood into the stream. Carefully
managing sensitive headwater areas can aid not only
amphibians and arthropods, but also threatened
salmon populations and other forest organisms.
Pacific Northwest Research Station scientists are
exploring scenarios for protecting headwaters by
extending riparian buffers and connecting them
over ridgelines to neighboring drainages. A range of
management practices designed to achieve multiple
objectives may be appropriate in these protected
areas to facilitate cost-effective, ecologically integrated management plans. Headwater links could
piggyback on lands that are already protected and
could consider such factors as sensitivity to debris
flows and landslides, land ownerships and objectives, and climate change.
Keywords: Headwater streams, riparian buffers,
connectivity, habitat linkages, amphibians, overland
dispersal.

Reconstructed old-growth forest stand structure
and composition of two stands on the Olympic
Peninsula, Washington state. Res. Pap. PNWRP-583. Portland, OR: U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest
Research Station. 22 p.
We reconstructed the stand structure and composition for two western Washington old-growth forest
stands harvested around 1930 (named Fresca and
Rail) from field and historical data. Both old-growth
stands had a codominant or dominant 250-year-old
Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco)
overstory with a few scattered older Douglas-fir.
Western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.)
was codominant at Rail but was predominantly
in the mid-story and understory at Fresca. The
Fresca site is now dominated by Sitka spruce (Picea
sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.) and western hemlock,
whereas Rail has a composition similar to the
previous old-growth stand. Events taking place early
in succession are probably responsible for the differences between the modern and historical stands.
Accelerated restoration of old-growth structural
diversity may be possible at both sites through
repeated creation of artificial gaps, but Fresca will
remain different from its historical composition.

reconstruction, Douglas-fir, succession, tree stumps,

Research Station. 23 p.
Dimensions, volume, and biomass were measured
for 121 hand-constructed piles composed primarily
of coniferous (n = 63) and shrub/hardwood (n =
58) material at sites in Washington and California.
Equations using pile dimensions, shape, and type
allow users to accurately estimate the biomass
of hand piles. Equations for estimating true pile
volume from simple geometric shapes and measurements of pile dimensions were also developed for
users who require estimates of pile volume for
regulatory reporting. Biomass and volume estimation equations were developed to allow users to
estimate either value from pile dimensions. Hand
pile biomass estimates can be used to predict fuel
consumption and smoke emissions by applying
proportional consumption estimates and emission
factors. Equations to estimate pile volume, pile
biomass, fuel consumption, and pollutant emissions
from pile shape, dimensions, and quantity are
programmed into a Web-based calculator for use by
the management and regulatory communities.

Planting native oak in the Pacific Northwest.
Gen. Tech. Rep. PNW-GTR-804. Portland, OR: U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific
Northwest Research Station. 25 p.
The extent of oak woodland and savanna habitat
in the Pacific Northwest has been dramatically
reduced since settlement in the mid-1800s. This
report presents a practical guide for landowners
and managers who are interested in reestablishing
native oak by planting seedlings. Keys to successful
establishment are (1) planting quality seedlings,
(2) controlling competing vegetation to increase
soil water availability, and (3) protecting seedlings
from animal damage. A variety of effective cultural
treatments, including mulch and tree shelters, are
described in detail. Although early growth rates of
planted oak seedlings are quite variable, even within
the same site, this variation decreases over time after
the seedlings become established.
Keywords: Oak, planting, regeneration, restoration,
Quercus garryana.
by shaping stand architecture, Tim Harrington and
Warren Devine at the Olympia Forestry Sciences
Laboratory conducted three studies related to the
impacts of competition among forest plant species.
The first effort examined the effects of belowground
competition from understory vegetation and
overstory trees on the survival and growth of conifer
seedlings in mature Douglas-fir forests. The second
study examined ways in which precommercial
thinning and competition from tanoaks influence
the long-term structure of Douglas-fir plantations.
The third study identified silvicultural approaches
for mitigating threats from black-stain root disease,
Scotch broom, and trailing blackberry. In each
case, researchers found that efforts to manage or
manipulate competition among plant species—such
as well-timed thinning treatments—effectively
modified stand structure and curtailed adverse
effects on Douglas-fir regeneration in natural
forests or plantations. Altering stand structure also
expanded habitat opportunities for wildlife and
beneficial plants.

The May 18, 1980, eruption of Mount St. Helens
dramatically transformed forests, meadows, lakes,
and streams within a vast portion of the Cascade
Range in southern Washington. Within days,
scientists were on the scene and have remained,
documenting the process of ecosystem reassembly.
The eruption created exemplary opportunities to
learn how plants and animals initially respond
to large, intense disturbance and the longer term
process of succession. Findings from this work have
Recent Publications of the Pacific Northwest Research Station, First Quarter, 2010
advanced understanding of disturbance ecology
and shifted thinking on how to manage landscapes
after disturbance. For example, biological
legacies—remnant woody structure and surviving
organisms—were found to strongly influence the
plant and animal communities that develop after the
disturbance. This discovery contributed to changes
in forest harvest policies, leading to the practice
of leaving some live and dead trees within harvest
areas. Key ecological lessons from Mount St. Helens
and the process of doing long-term research have
also yielded information that scientists with the
Pacific Northwest Research Station are now sharing
with others around the world.

Estimating visitor numbers and collecting information on visitor attitudes in Alaska national forests
is especially challenging because of the dispersed
access to the forests by a relatively small number
of visitors. The Tongass and Chugach National
Forests are each millions of acres with miles of
saltwater coastline and numerous lakes that allow
almost infinite boat and float plane access points.
This study identified a number of methods used by
land managers in Alaska and other states to address
dispersed recreational access as well as other
ongoing data collection processes in Alaska, such as
sport fish angler surveys, traveler surveys, and other
systematic efforts that generate visitor data. These
data may be useful for USDA Forest Service efforts
to improve their visitor use monitoring processes.

Edge-glued panels from Alaska hardwoods:
retail manager perspectives. Gen. Tech. Rep.
PNW-GTR-809. Portland, OR: U.S. Department
of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest
Research Station. 14 p.
In Alaska, red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) and paper
birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh.) are both lesserknown hardwoods grown, harvested, and manufactured into appearance products, with potential for
increased utilization. The production of edge-glued
panels from red alder and paper birch offers one
expansion opportunity for wood products producers.
For this expansion to happen, retail managers’
attitudes and preferences need to be understood and
cultivated, as they represent an important link in the
supply chain. In this research project, 11 edge-glued
panels were prepared from Alaska red alder and
birch lumber and presented to managers of retail
lumber stores. Panels included different types and
levels of character marks. Eight managers in interior
and south-central Alaska reviewed the panels,
offering their perceptions regarding overall sales
potential in their stores. Clear wood was generally
preferred in panels produced from red alder. High
levels of natural stain were preferred for birch
panels. Several panel attributes were identified as
being important, including level of character, lack
of surface roughness, and availability. Most retail
managers ranked price and supply as less important
than product quality. Retailers recommended that
up to 12 standard panel sizes be provided. Retailers
suggested several different end-uses for the panels,
with the most promising applications being kitchen
cabinet or furniture production.
Keywords: Red alder, paper birch, edge-glued

Alaska birch for edge-glued panel production—
considerations for wood products manufacturers.
Gen. Tech. Rep. PNW-GTR-820 Portland, OR: U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific
Northwest Research Station. 25 p.
Edge-glued panels could become a natural extension
for the birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh.) lumber
industry in Alaska, resulting in greater utilization
of the birch resource while allowing producers to
explore a wider variety of products and markets.
Key advantages of edge-glued panel production
include the relatively low cost of equipment, the
potential use of smaller diameter stems and less
valuable grades of lumber, flexibility in panel
product sizes, and opportunities to sell products
within established local markets. This paper
has reviewed practical considerations for wood
products firms in Alaska who may be considering
edge-glued panel production from birch lumber.
Key issues could include equipment requirements,
lumber drying, quality control considerations, wood
machining, treatment of character mark features,
marketing strategies, and strategic partnerships.
Edge-glued panels represent a class of products that
could be within the technical and financial reach of
many Alaska producers. One immediate opportunity
would be kitchen cabinet production; however,
other products that utilize edge-glued panels include
furniture, doors, and craft items.
Keywords: Alaska, birch, lumber, edge-glued panel,
economic development.
