Download or read book British Columbia s Inland Rainforest written by Susan K. Stevenson and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast temperate rainforests of coastal British Columbia are world renowned, but much less is known about the other rainforest located 500 kilometres inland along the western slopes of the interior mountains. The unique integration of continentality and humidity in this region favours the development of lush rainforest communities that incorporate both coastal and boreal elements. This book brings together, for the first time, a broad spectrum of information about the ecology, management, and conservation of this distinctive ecosystem. Accessibly written and generously illustrated, the chapters examine the physical, social, economic, and ecological dimensions of the rainforest. They also look at how the delicate balance of this ecosystem has been threatened by human use and climate change. In the past, governments encouraged the forest industry to clearcut the “decadent” old stands and replace them with rapidly growing young trees of other species. More recently, out of concern for the ecological consequences of such practices, researchers have begun to examine alternative management strategies. This book offers a vision that combines various strategies in order to balance the conservation of the inland rainforest as a fully functioning ecosystem with human use of its diverse resources.

Download or read book Spacing Guidebook written by British Columbia. Ministry of Forests and published by Forest Service. This book was released on 1995 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook is intended to assist forestry practitioners in British Columbia to meet the requirements of the provincial Forest Practices Code with respect to spacing, or the cutting of undesirable trees within a young stand to reduce competition among the residual trees for water, nutrients, and sunlight. Chapters of the guidebook cover the regulations regarding spacing, the maximum density required by the silviculture prescription, biological criteria and operational considerations for including spacing in stand management prescriptions, fire protection, maintenance of stand-level biodiversity, considerations for post-treatment densities, manual and mechanized methods of spacing, selection of crop trees, monitoring, and reporting. The appendices include stand selection guidelines for use in stand management prescriptions.

Download or read book Nine year Response of Lodgepole Pine and the Dry Alder Complex to Chemical and Manual Release Treatments on an ICHmk1 Site Near Kelowna written by Suzanne Simard and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes a research trial established in 1986 in southern interior British Columbia to study the effectiveness of glyphosate applied at three and at six litres/hectare, and of manual cutting, to release naturally regenerated lodgepole pine seedlings and suppress dry alder complex. Pine seedlings and two target species, Sitka alder and fireweed, were assessed for the first three years and again in the ninth year following treatment. Measurements made on the seedlings included height, current-year height increment, and stem diameter at root collar. Target vegetation was assessed for species-specific percent cover and the height of one average target specimen per woody species was also measured.
Download or read book Lodgepole Pine Response to Aspen Removal in Variable Radii in the SBSdw2 Variant Near Williams Lake B C written by Teresa A. Newsome and published by British Columbia, Forest Science Program. This book was released on 2004 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixed forests of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm.) and trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) are common throughout interior British Columbia, particularly in north and central areas of the province. In the Cariboo-Chilcotin area of the Southern Interior Forest Region, aspen commonly regenerates along with planted and natural lodgepole pine in the Sub-Boreal Spruce (SBS), Interior Douglas-fir (IDF), Sub-Boreal Pine-Spruce (SBPS), and Interior Cedar-Hemlock (ICH) zones. Historically, aspen has been regarded as a "weed" that competes with conifers, but silviculturists now recognize that there are many benefits to maintaining a broadleaf component within stands. A study was established in 1994 in the SBSdw2 variant of the Cariboo-Chilcotin region of the Southern Interior Forest Region to investigate the effects of removing aspen in 50 or 100 cm radii around crop lodgepole pine versus broadcast removal or no treatment. The primary objective of the study was to assess whether the free-growing criterion (current in 1994), which specified that no overtopping vegetation could be present within a 1 m radius around crop trees, was appropriate in pine-aspen stands, or whether a 50 cm radius zone would be adequate.
