Download or read book Effects of Forest Disturbance and Soil Depth on Digestible Energy for Moose and White tailed Deer written by Hewlette S. Crawford and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spruce budworm defoliation, clearcutting for salvage, and prescribed burning of clearcut areas on deep and shallow soils influenced deer and moose foraging in eastern Maine spruce-fir forests from 1980 to 1984. Plant standing crop biomass, seasonal plant selection by tractable moose and white-tailed deer, and digestible energy for deer and moose were determined for each treatment. Early successional plant species were most abundant on burned areas, and were common on clearcut areas. Increase in biomass after defoliation was substantial. Deer and moose ate many of the same plant species, but in different proportions. Deer found more desirable foods on deep than on shallow soils and were more selective of plant parts than moose. Deer digested their diets slightly better than moose from late spring through fall. Deer obtained more digestible energy than moose during fall and early winter on all treatments. Moose obtained more digestible energy than deer during spring and summer on burned areas where forage was abundant. Available energy by treatment was significantly different for moose year round and for deer during spring and fall: clearcut and burn clearcut >defoliated >undefoliated (control).

Download or read book West Virginia Yellow poplar Lumber Defect Database written by Lawrence E. Osborn and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: S2In West Virginia, yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) is abundant and is a prime candidate for increased utilization in a variety of manufacturing industries. Computer simulations are a cost-effective tool for estimating potential cutting yields from lumber. They can be used to promote increased use of yellow-poplar in the furniture, cabinet, and architectural woodworking industries and may also lead to increased utilization of the lower grades of lumber. This paper describes the data collection methods and the format of the new West Virginia yellow-poplar lumber defect database that was developed for use with computer simulation programs. The database contains descriptions of 627 boards, totaling approximately 3,800 board feet, collected in West Virginia for grades FAS, FASIF, No. 1 Common, No. 2A Common, and No. 28 Common.S3.

Download or read book Effects of Conifer Release with Vision glyphosate Herbicide on Moose Forage Quality digestible Protein written by H. G. Cumming and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest managers commonly use herbicides to release young conifers from associated non-crop vegetation. Concern has been raised over the potential effects on wildlife of conifer release with herbicides. The most commonly used herbicide in Canadian forestry is Vision, whose active ingredient is glyphosate. Although glyphosate is considered practically non-toxic to mammals, indirect effects (reduced forage) concern both biologists and hunters. This report examines the effects of Vision on moose browse quantity and moose area use near Thunder Bay, Ontario, to study the effects of conifer release with Vision on nutritional browse quality four and eight years after treatment. Both winter (twigs) and summer (leaves) forages were analysed from four plant species commonly eaten by moose in early successional forests: hazel, aspen, raspberry, and willow. Results are presented only for the more important nutrient, digestible protein.
