Download or read book Alternative Silvicultural Systems for Ontario s Boreal Mixedwoods written by Christopher Herbert Richard Wedeles and published by Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. : Great Lakes Forestry Centre. This book was released on 1995 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summarises the potential use of alternative silvicultural (harvesting) systems on the productivity of boreal mixedwood forests. Begins with an overview of the ecology of boreal mixedwoods, including physical environment, stand dynamics, and landscape ecology; then provides detailed reviews of modified clear-cutting systems (including strip cutting, patch cutting, and seed-tree cutting), shelterwood systems, and selection systems (including group selection and individual tree selection). Also briefly discusses the environmental considerations that are associated with these systems (effects on soil, water resources, wildlife, and aesthetics). Concludes with a discussion of areas of uncertainty in the application of alternative systems and the perceived problems that have limited their use in boreal mixedwoods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ECOLOGICAL SILVICULTURAL SYSTEMS Unleash the natural power and adaptability of forests with this cutting-edge guide For generations, silvicultural systems have focused largely on models whose primary objective is the production of timber, leading to drastically simplified forests with reduced ecological richness, diversity, and complexity. Ecological silviculture, by contrast, focuses on producing and maintaining forests with “all their parts”—, that is, with the diversity and flexibility to respond and adapt to global changes. Ecological silviculture seeks to emulate natural development models and sustain healthy forests serving multiple values and goals. Ecological Silvicultural Systems provides a comprehensive introduction to these approaches and their benefits tailored to diverse types of forests, designed for forest management professionals. It provides a series of exemplary models for ecological silviculture and surveys the resulting forest ecosystems. The result is a text that meets the needs of professionals in forestry and natural resource management with an eye towards sustaining healthy forest ecosystems, adapting them to climate change, protecting them from invasive species, and responding to changing market forces. Ecological Silvicultural Systems readers will also find: Detailed treatment of forest ecosystems in North America, Europe, South America, and Australia A broad field of contributors with decades of combined expertise on multiple continents Discussion of pine woodlands; temperate hardwood forests, boreal forests, temperate rainforests, and more Ecological Silvicultural Systems is a useful reference for professional foresters, wildlife habitat managers, restoration ecologists, and undergraduate and graduate students in any of these fields.

Download or read book Alternative Silvicultural Systems for Harvesting and Regenerating Spruce dominated Boreal Mineral Wetlands written by Daniel A. MacIsaac and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regeneration of conifers on mineral wetland sites is often poor due to a rise in water table levels and establishment of heavy grass cover following harvest. This report describes a study of alternative silviculture systems as a means of improving conifer reforestation success on such sites. Narrow clear-cut alternate strips and a patch clear-cut were tested in a white spruce-black spruce-larch stand north of Red Earth, Alberta. Performance of planted spruce & larch as well as seeded white spruce was monitored on mounded (scarified) & non-mounded (non-scarified) areas following harvest & site preparation in 1997. In addition, groundwater hydrology, microclimate, wind damage, & ground cover were monitored across the site. Results are presented & discussed regarding survival & growth five years after harvest, occurrence of water on the site surface, and windthrow damage.
Download or read book Protecting White Spruce Understories when Harvesting Aspen written by Canada-Alberta Partnership Agreement in Forestry and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project was aimed primarily at technology tranfer, demonstrating the integration of silvicultural and harvesting techniques for protecting spruce understories in mixedwoods. This report provides details of the silvicultural component. It stresses post-harvest implications, particularly blowdown risk and growth and yield potential of released understory, and regeneration and growth of spruce, aspen, and poplar on mechanically harvested mixedwood sites. The project addresses concerns about maintaining the coniferous component of mixedwood forests and finding alternatives to clearcutting. It covers the current status of operational understory protection and some related aspects of integrated resource management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this paper is to describe Quebec's mixed wood forests, and discuss current research activities that relate to the silviculture and regeneration of mixed wood forests. The subject is being addressed along 2 large research axes, which separate so-called late-successional mixed wood stands (balsam fir/yellow birch) and transitional mixed wood stands (the boreal mixed wood forest). For each of these axes, research focusses on the effect of various silvicultural interventions on the regeneration and growth of desirable species and on the reaction of competitive vegetation.
