Proceedings of the Fourth Biennial Southern Silvicultural Research Conference by Douglas R. Phillips Pdf

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Fourth Biennial Southern Silvicultural Research Conference: Atlanta, Georgia, November 4-6, 1986 This paper addresses ongoing technology developments for increased use of hardwoods. A wide range of technological and economic developments are described that are reducing the advantage of softwood over hardwood as a pre ferred wood raw material. These developments reflect a principle of human behavior which I call the leveling principle. The principle says that when less expensive resources are available, people develop new technologies to use less expensive resources. Thus, people seek to level the advantages of more expensive resources in order to improve economic efficiency. This kind of very rational human behavior presents complexity for silvi cultural researchers, because it means that as you focus your objectives on timber species that you think will have the highest value in the future, others will be trying consciously and vigorously to develop new technologies to utilize the less expensive timber species.

Proceedings for the Eight Biennial Southern Silvicultural Research Conference by M. Boya Edwards Pdf

Presents the research of 189 investigators studying the patterns & process of managed southern forests through 104 reported studies. These contributions emanate from scientists located at various universities, forestry industries, & public agencies. The conference began with a general session by 5 presenters on Silviculture -- A Pivotal Role in a Changing Profession.Ó The following papers were divided into specific topics: ecosystem management; vegetation management; pest management/natural disturbance; biometrics/economics; site productivity; site impacts; ecophysiology/genetics; regeneration; silvicultural systems; & stand development/intermediate management.
