Developing Timber Harvesting Prescriptions to Minimize Site Degradation by Terence Lewis,British Columbia. Timber Harvesting Subcommittee Pdf

This report provides individuals responsible for formulating logging prescriptions a number of harvesting strategies which do not cause excessive site degradation and therefore do not result in long-term losses in forest productivity. The report addresses timber harvesting activities applied in the interior of B.C., including a number of phases up to, but not including, site preparation. It includes the building and maintaining of secondary roads; falling and bucking; the skidding, yarding or forwarding of logs to a landing; and the provision of fireguards to facilitate logging slash disposal. The report discusses the planning, construction, operational, maintenance, and rehabilitation stages of each of these phases of logging.

Climate Change and Forest Management in the Western Hemisphere by Mohammed Dore Pdf

Conserve biodiversity with effective forest management practices! This valuable book examines integrated forest management in the Americas. Climate Change and Forest Management in the Western Hemisphere takes a close look at such important international issues as global warming and the destruction of the Amazon rainforest. It offers tested suggestions for combining productive economic use of forest products with sustainable, ecologically sound management practices. Here you will find case studies from representative forests in North, Central, and South America. This solidly researched book explores the barriers to integrating environmental and economic approaches to forest management. It also offers practical suggestions for overcoming those barriers, including economic incentives for sustainable use and the conservation of biodiversity. Climate Change and Forest Management in the Western Hemisphere also explores: the role of the Brazilian rainforest in the global carbon cycle sustainable use of rainforests the valuation of forests for carbon sequestration plant biodiversity in managed timber forests issues of deforestation and reforestation and much more! Climate Change and Forest Management in the Western Hemisphere offers a comprehensive overview of a vital subject. It is an essential resource for forestry specialists, environmental economists, and anyone interested in climate change or sustainable agriculture.

Forest Ecosystems by Juan A. Blanco,Yueh-Hsin Lo Pdf

The common idea for many people is that forests are just a collection of trees. However, they are much more than that. They are a complex, functional system of interacting and often interdependent biological, physical, and chemical components, the biological part of which has evolved to perpetuate itself. This complexity produces combinations of climate, soils, trees and plant species unique to each site, resulting in hundreds of different forest types around the world. Logically, trees are an important component for the research in forest ecosystems, but the wide variety of other life forms and abiotic components in most forests means that other elements, such as wildlife or soil nutrients, should also be the focal point in ecological studies and management plans to be carried out in forest ecosystems. In this book, the readers can find the latest research related to forest ecosystems but with a different twist. The research described here is not just on trees and is focused on the other components, structures and functions that are usually overshadowed by the focus on trees, but are equally important to maintain the diversity, function and services provided by forests. The first section of this book explores the structure and biodiversity of forest ecosystems, whereas the second section reviews the research done on ecosystem structure and functioning. The third and last section explores the issues related to forest management as an ecosystem-level activity, all of them from the perspective of the "other" parts of a forest.

Silviculture Prescription Data Collection Field Handbook by Michael Patrick Curran,B. Mitchell,I. Davis,British Columbia. Ministry of Forests. Research Branch Pdf

This guide is a technical support document intended to help forestry practitioners collect the information they need to prepare a silvicultural treatment regime and silviculture prescription in accordance with British Columbia Forest Practices Code legislation. It deals primarily with the collection & stratification of site-specific field data. After information on office preparation, stratification, plot establishment, and mapping procedures, the guide presents data collection procedures for silviculture prescription field forms. Copies of forms are included in the appendix. The data cover such matters as site characteristics, understorey & overstorey, soils, riparian & watershed values, soil & fire hazards, silvicultural systems & objectives, harvesting, forest health, stand tending, and forest resource values.

A Field Guide to Site Identification and Interpretation for the Vancouver Forest Region by R. N. Green,K. Klinka Pdf

This guide presents site identification and interpretation information for forest ecosystems of the Vancouver Forest Region. Site identification is based on the biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification. The guide was prepared to assist users in describing and identifying forest sites and to provide management interpretations to assist users in preparing stand-level forest management prescriptions. The guide covers procedures for site assessment, a description of the biogeoclimatic units and the site units of the Vancouver Forest Region, management interpretations of tree species selection, slashburning, site productivity, competing vegetation potential, ground-based harvesting, pest risks of major conifer species, and wildlife diversity and habitat relationships. Appendices list indicator species; humus forms; keys to bedrock, hand-texturing soil, relative soil moisture regime, soil nutrient regime, and site sensitivity to slashburning; correlation of old and new biogeoclimatic and site units; and a site assessment form.

Birds in the Boreal Forest by D. H. Kuhnke Pdf

The principal objective of the Birds in the Boreal Forest workshop was to foster interaction between those concerned with sustaining forests as an industrial resource and those interested in sustaining forests as a habitat for birds and other wildlife. A total of 25 presentations were given in 5 topical sessions: overviews of biodiversity and boreal ecology; state of knowledge of impacts of forest management on birds in the boreal forest; landscape issues - scaling up' from the stand to the ecosystem; foresters' perspectives on integrated resource management: where are we headed?; and databases and information networks: what do have and what do we need? Eighty six participants attended the workshop. The workshop launches a new research program on forest bird ecology in western and northern Canada.
