Studies On The Causes Of Tree Distribution In A Forest Type In The Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, Thomas A. Janszen
Biological Sciences Theses & Dissertations
Vegetational composition and environmental parameters were analyzed in a forest type of the Dismal Swamp. A 0.5 ha forest stand was divided into 200 5 x 5 meter contiguous quadrats and the tree size classes were precisely mapped. Fifty soil samples were analyzed for texture, pH, and major nutrients. A topographic map was constructed with precision to 0.01 ft. Analysis of variance tests showed non-randomness to exist in soil texture and nutrient content while homogeneity tests showed non-randomness in distribution of some woody species. Factor analysis indicated no significant correlations between soil quality, topography, and woody species. Findings indicate that …
Location-Allocation Models For Establishing Facilities, David F. Gibson, John Rodenberg
Location-Allocation Models For Establishing Facilities, David F. Gibson, John Rodenberg
Aspen Bibliography
Two models and accompanying computer programs are presented which were developed to locate facilities for the timber harvesting industry. Addressed is a case of the facility location-allocation problem. The optimum location and number of landings, facilities to which timber is transshipped, are determined so as to minimize a cost function. This function is composed of the following components: (1) cost of transporting material from its original location to a landing, (2) cost of establishing a landing (facility cost), and (3) cost of transporting material from the landings to some designated point termed the origin. Output of the computer programs is …
