The Bureau of Land Management requires the continuation of a long-term regional silviculture management cooperative project in the Pacific Northwest, which has been conducted since 1969 by the University of Washington. The projected five-year plan maintains the overall objective of providing a source of high-quality data on the growth, yield and wood quality of intensively-managed Douglas-fir and western hemlock tree plantations. The proposed activities are: collection of data and their analysis of existing region-wide plot installations; supplemental plot installations on multiple-species conditions, crown studies, and estimating growth and yield on other than pure Douglas-fir; collaborative studies on wood quality, nutrition analysis, and disease structural effects (Swiss needlecast). This is not a formal solicitation. However, concerns who respond should furnish detailed data concerning their capabilities and may request a copy of the solicitation when it becomes available. This notice may representthe only official notice of such a solicitation. See Numbered Note(s): 22. Posted 07/06/00 (W-SN472001). (0188)
