RMM1HYRB–1979 Research accomplishments - forests for our needs (1980) (19918746704)

RMRFPAPA–. 1979 Research accomplishments : forests for our needs. Forests and forestry Research United States. Environment. Identifying Outdoor Recreation Benefits Because most publicly provided outdoor recreation opportunities are not allocated by competitive market prices, too little is known about the benefits these outdoor recreationists receive. Researchers at the Rocky Mountain Experiment Station have been looking for a way to get better measures of both economic and noneconomic outdoor recreation benefits. Survey research techniques have been developed to identify the reasons why different types

RMRFPAMM–. 1979 Research accomplishments : forests for our needs. Forests and forestry Research United States. Managing Our Wilderness Wilderness must be managed is the premise of a recently published book. Wilderness Management. Miscellaneous Publication No. 1365. Although wilderness is intended to be natural and unmodified, increasing recreational use and other influences make it necessary to manage these areas in order to protect the natural values for which they were established. Tliis publication summarizes the history of wilderness as a land use, discusses legislation protecting wilderness, descr

RMRFPAJC–. 1979 Research accomplishments : forests for our needs. Forests and forestry Research United States. Fire and Atmospheric Sciences. Fire and Atmospheric Sciences Weather Information for Foresters Prescribed burning, fire control, tree planting, use of heavy equip- ment, and nursery spraying are strongly influenced by weather con- ditions. Forest managers faced with these conditions have needed more information about the weather than they could get directly from the National Weather Service. The need for weather information is especially acute for someone trying to estimate the rate and patter

RMRFPAR2–. 1979 Research accomplishments : forests for our needs. Forests and forestry Research United States. Environment. How and Why Rivers are Used Recreational use of our Nation's waterways has grown tremendously during the past decade. Managers of Federal, State, and local rivers are increasingly forced to deal with problems such as conflicts among user groups, depreciative behavior, crowding, and environmental impacts. To deal with these problems, and also to be adequately prepared for developing sound management plans, managers need a cost efficient mechanism to find out how river recreationist

RMRFPREH–. 1979 Research accomplishments : forests for our needs. Forests and forestry Research United States. Products and Engineering Putting Waste Wood to Use Cutting of trees and tearing down of old houses to make room for new construction are everyday occurrences in major cities. Ever wonder what happens to the wood? In most instances it goes to the dump; it is not used. Approximately 20 percent of the material entering landfills in the Southern United States is urban waste wood. Perhaps the saddest chapter in this story is that technological systems for putting this waste wood to use are availabl

RMRT0FW7–. 1979 Research accomplishments : forests for our needs. Forests and forestry Research United States. Environment. Moisture and Nutrients from Residues Lack of suitable moisture is a deterrent to reforestation in the dry land mass of the Rocky Mountains and westward to the crest of the Sierras and Cascades. Most moisture in this area occurs as winter snowfall and snowmelt in the spring. Forest Products Laboratory scientists working with scientists from the Intermountain Forest Experiment Station and Michigan Tech- nological University have determined that decayed wood residues and charcoal fro

RMRFP519–. 1979 Research accomplishments : forests for our needs. Forests and forestry Research United States. Foreword The Forest Service, through basic and appUed studies, has been working to develop new technology needed for public land management. State and other agencies, various private organizations, the small woodland owner, and individual private citizens including the urban dweller—all forest users. We conduct research at eight regional forest experiment stations located around the country and at the Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin. We also conduct international studies in fo

Products and Engineering Lumber Use by Truss Fabricators Shortages of softwood lumber is one reason home building costs are increasing. The truss frame construction system developed by Forest Products Laboratory saves lumber and reduces costs. The use of frame material is reduced by 30 percent. Studies by the North Central Forest Experiment Station and the Forest Products Laboratory show that builder prejudices and architect intluences are major obstacles to greater use of trusses; that raw ma

RMRFPAK7–. 1979 Research accomplishments : forests for our needs. Forests and forestry Research United States. Research Helps Western Reclamation Seventy-two percent of our Nation's coal reserves are located on federally administered lands in the West. As development of these resources progresses, a key problem has been how to revegetate surface mine spoils with the objectives of controlling erosion, enhancing aesthetics, and restoring the land to productive use. Vlien strip mining of coal accelerated in the early 1970's in the Four Corners region of the Southwest, the biggest reclamation concern was

RMRFP4YB–. 1979 Research accomplishments : forests for our needs. Forests and forestry Research United States. Environment Surface Mine Spoils in the East Revegetation of surface mine spoils is important for controlling erosion, enhancing aesthetics, and restoring the land to a productive use. Studies show that planting of compatible combinations of species will produce a quickly established ground cover and a permanent or long- lived cover and product. Vegetation of steep slopes and toxic spoils often requires the application of soil amendments, planting of acid- tolerant species, and introduction of
