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.

Salvage Logging and Its Ecological Consequences by David B. Lindenmayer,Philip J. Burton,Jerry F. Franklin Pdf

Salvage logging—removing trees from a forested area in the wake of a catastrophic event such as a wildfire or hurricane—is highly controversial. Policymakers and those with an economic interest in harvesting trees typically argue that damaged areas should be logged so as to avoid “wasting” resources, while many forest ecologists contend that removing trees following a disturbance is harmful to a variety of forest species and can interfere with the natural process of ecosystem recovery. Salvage Logging and Its Ecological Consequences brings together three leading experts on forest ecology to explore a wide range of issues surrounding the practice of salvage logging. They gather and synthesize the latest research and information about its economic and ecological costs and benefits, and consider the impacts of salvage logging on ecosystem processes and biodiversity. The book examines • what salvage logging is and why it is controversial • natural and human disturbance regimes in forested ecosystems • differences between salvage harvesting and traditional timber harvesting • scientifically documented ecological impacts of salvage operations • the importance of land management objectives in determining appropriate post-disturbance interventions Brief case studies from around the world highlight a variety of projects, including operations that have followed wildfires, storms, volcanic eruptions, and insect infestations. In the final chapter, the authors discuss policy management implications and offer prescriptions for mitigating the impacts of future salvage harvesting efforts. Salvage Logging and Its Ecological Consequences is a “must-read” volume for policymakers, students, academics, practitioners, and professionals involved in all aspects of forest management, natural resource planning, and forest conservation.
