Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short Manual of Forest Management The object of the present manual is to present a brief and simplified text-book on Forest Management, based on a purely practical foundation. The standard works on this subject sometimes present - for the student, and especially for the public - a rather formidable appearance, and contain an exposition of high theory a part of which at the present time is seldom, if ever, capable of practical application to the forest conditions of our own country, or of our possessions in other parts of the world. An attempt is made therefore to produce a simplified practical review of this subject from which are eliminated all reference to advanced theories which are not at present susceptible of practical application, and all other matters of purely academic interest. Some confusion has resulted, it is thought, in the past, from attempting to embrace in one study such diverse conditions as obtain in the most intensively worked continental forests which have been highly organised for generations, in the vast forests of India which are still generally in their natural state of the utmost irregularity, and thirdly in the small estate woodlands and plantations of our own country. An attempt is therefore made now to discriminate between such different types of forest with a view to elucidate and facilitate the preparation of suitable working-plans for each type. Use has been made of the following standard works on Forest Management: Manual of Forestry, vol. iii. Sir Wm. Schlich; The Forester, J. Nisbet; The Practice of Forestry, P. T. Maw; British Estate Forestry, A. C. Forbes; Forest Working Plans in India, W. E. D'Arcy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book User s Manual for PLANT PC written by Bijan Payandeh and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The simulation model PLANT-PC was developed to aid forest managers in Ontario with their forest renewal problems. The model treats the regeneration process as three separate but interdependent phases of stock production, stock storage, and plantation establishment. During each phase, growth and/or survival of seedlings are simulated according to empirical submodels reflecting the effects of various biological factors as well as management options. The model was calibrated for black spruce, white spruce, and jack pine plantations from the Nipigon, Geraldton, Hearst, Kapuskasing, Timmins, and Wawa districts of Ontario. Application of the model is demonstrated by presenting a detailed example. A simple procedure for calibrating the model to account for local or regional conditions is also provided.

Download or read book Ecosystem Goods and Services from Plantation Forests written by Jürgen Bauhus and published by Earthscan. This book was released on 2010 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plantation forests often have a negative image. They are typically assumed to be poor substitutes for natural forests, particularly in terms of biodiversity conservation, carbon storage, provision of clean drinking water and other non-timber goods and services. Often they are monocultures that do not appear to invite people for recreation and other direct uses. Yet as this book clearly shows, they can play a vital role in the provision of ecosystem services, when compared to agriculture and other forms of land use or when natural forests have been degraded. This is the first book to examine explicitly the non-timber goods and services provided by plantation forests, including soil, water and biodiversity conservation, as well as carbon sequestration and the provision of local livelihoods. The authors show that, if we require a higher provision of ecosystem goods and services from both temperate and tropical plantations, new approaches to their management are required. These include policies, methods for valuing the services, the practices of small landholders, landscape approaches to optimise delivery of goods and services, and technical issues about how to achieve suitable solutions at the scale of forest stands. While providing original theoretical insights, the book also gives guidance for plantation managers, policy-makers, conservation practitioners and community advocates, who seek to promote or strengthen the multiple-use of forest plantations for improved benefits for society.

Download or read book Repeated Manual Release in a Young Plantation written by Philip M. McDonald and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Douglas-fir seedlings on the Arcata Resource Area, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Department of the Interior, in central coastal California, were released by chain sawing and grubbing competing vegetation around them at different frequencies (0, 2, and 3 grubbings) over a 5-year period. After 5 years, average Douglas-fir stem diameter (measured at 12 inches above mean groundline) of seedlings grubbed at ages 1,2, and 5 was 0.91 inches, and of seedlings grubbed after the first and fifth growing season was 0.95 inches. Both were significantly larger than counterparts in the control (0.57 inches). Tanoak, the most competitive species, constituted 84 percent of total plant cover in the control after 5 years, but only 25 percent on treated plots. Combined shrubs varied little between the untreated control and treated plots and averaged about 7 percent of total foliar cover. Grasses were not present in the control and only for the fifth year in treated plots. The most abundant forb, a hedge nettle, increased greatly in density in both control and treated plots. These relationships and others denoted in the paper yield valuable ecological information on species and community dynamics in both a natural and treated environment. Crew time (no overhead or travel costs) for the three grubbings was 52 hours and for the two grubbings was 44 hours.

This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community-oriented conservation of natural resources and promotion and protection of trees in drylands are examples to deal with climatic adversities. This book provides knowledge on climatic, ecological, social and economic condition of dry areas and lay out approaches and strategies to restore degraded lands. There are 15 chapters and first five deals with physiography of Rajasthan, drylands ecology, problems of land degradation, its economic evaluation and the approaches and strategies of restoration and rehabilitation. Next two chapters describe the problems of sand drift, salinity, water logging and effluent inflicted areas and strategies to control them. Chapters 8-10 deal with seed production, quality planting materials, genetic improvement, propagation and planting techniques. Chapters 11-12 describe methods of rain water harvesting and irrigation, and resources conservation for seed sowing and favouring regeneration and successions. Effective management of pests/diseases in nurseries and plantation, growth and yield prediction equations and models, and people's perception and participation in managing forest resources have been described in last 3 chapters. Purpose of this publication is to strengthen the forest functionaries and readers with wide ranging knowledge on land degradation, desertification and eco-biology of drylands; and methods to restore and rehabilitate degrading forest (lands) to increase forest cover, enhance resilience and people livelihoods and improve environmental conditions. Academician, researchers, forest managers, non-government organizations, extension agents and environmentalists can use it in developing, conserving and managing drylands ecosystems for its long lasting beneficial effects. This book is also useful to policy makers in effective planning of restoring, protecting and conserving dryland's ecological and socioeconomic services.
