Development and Field Application of Density Management Diagrams and Size-density Surface Models Developed for the Boreal Mixedwood Stands of Ontario by David James Smith,Great Lakes Forestry Centre,Northern Forestry Program (Canada) Pdf

Describes the construction and interpretation of the density management diagram (DMD and the size-density surface model, which assist forest managers to better understand mixedwood stand development and provide an aid for the planning of thinning prescriptions in boreal Ontario. The DMD is an age dependent, average stand mortality model that predicts the structural development of fully stocked natural stands. That concept has been expanded in the surface model to enable multispecies stand development and interspecific competition to be followed. The surface model illustrates the relationship between plant size and density for all possible combinations of two dominant tree species. Examples are provided to assist the user in interpreting the models in black spruce-jack pine stands. The utility of the surface is discussed in relation to stand development, and examples are given to illustrate the effect of silvicultural treatments on stand structure.

Advancing Boreal Mixedwood Management in Ontario by C. Rodney Smith,Gregory W. Crook,Ontario. Ministry of Natural Resources,Canadian Forest Service--Sault Ste. Marie,Canada. Natural Resources Canada Pdf

Presents proceedings of a workshop held to summarise the current state of knowledge about the ecology of boreal mixedwood forests, to discuss management philosophies for these cover types, and to present information on new research relevant to the future management of boreal mixedwoods. Topics of individual presentations include boreal forests in Ontario, the role of forest disturbance, forest management, industrial use of boreal mixedwoods, forest data bases, forest vertebrate communities, habitat quality indicators, forest microclimate, organic and nutrient removals associated with harvesting, climate change impacts, prescribed fire, silvicultural operations, harvesting methods, vegetation control, ecosystem response to disturbance, site preparation, and effects of harvesting on forest fauna.

Modeling Forest Trees and Stands by Harold E. Burkhart,Margarida Tomé Pdf

Drawing upon a wealth of past research and results, this book provides a comprehensive summary of state-of-the-art methods for empirical modeling of forest trees and stands. It opens by describing methods for quantifying individual trees, progresses to a thorough coverage of whole-stand, size-class and individual-tree approaches for modeling forest stand dynamics, growth and yield, moves on to methods for incorporating response to silvicultural treatments and wood quality characteristics in forest growth and yield models, and concludes with a discussion on evaluating and implementing growth and yield models. Ideal for use in graduate-level forestry courses, this book also provides ready access to a plethora of reference material for researchers working in growth and yield modeling.

Sawmill Simulation: Data Instructions and Computer Programs by Hugh W. Reynolds Pdf

"By using a computer to simulate the sawing, we have devised a way to saw the same log in many different ways to find out which way gets the best yield from the log. Sawmill production managers often find it hard to tell what sawing pattern will yield the most. If sample logs are sawed in one sawing pattern, they cannot be reassembled and sawed again in a different pattern. And if a new sample of logs is used for each new sawing pattern, it is hard to tell if differences in yield are due to the sawing patterns or are due to natural differences between the logs in the samples. But by using a computer to simulate the sawing, the same log sample can be sawed again and again, and yields of the different sawing patterns can be compared.S3.

The Fire and Fuels Extension to the Forest Vegetation Simulator by Elizabeth D. Reinhardt Pdf

The Fire and Fuels Extension (FFE) to the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) simulates fuel dynamics and potential fire behavior over time, in the context of stand development and management. Existing models of fire behavior and fire effects were added to FVS to form this extension. New submodels representing snag and fuel dynamics were created to complete the linkages. This report contains four chapters. Chapter 1 states the purpose and chronicles some applications of the model. Chapter 2 details the model's content, documents links to the supporting science, and provides annotated examples of the outputs. Chapter 3 is a user's guide that presents options and examples of command usage. Chapter 4 describes how the model was customized for use in different regions. Fuel managers and silviculturists charged with managing fire-prone forests can use the FFEFVS and this document to better understand and display the consequences of alternative management actions.

The Mountain Pine Beetle by Pacific Forestry Centre,Mountain Pine Beetle Initiative (Canada) Pdf

"This book presents a synthesis of published information on mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins [Coleoptera: Scolytidae]) biology and management with an emphasis on lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. var. latifolia Engelm.) forests of western Canada. Intended as a reference for researchers as well as forest managers, the book covers three main subject areas: mountain pine beetle biology, management, and socioeconomic concerns. The chapters on biology cover taxonomy, life history and habits, distribution, insect-host tree interactions, development and survival, epidemiology, and outbreak history. The management section covers management strategy, survey and detection, proactive and preventive management, and decision support tools. The chapters on socioeconomic aspects include an economic examination of management programs and the utilization of post-beetle salvage timber in solid wood, panelboard, pulp and paper products."--Publisher's description.
