Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook contains standard methods of prescribed fire research assessments for logging slash fuels in British Columbia, and describes the procedures required for making pre-burn assessments, observations during the fire, and post-burn assessments. All procedures included are oriented toward documenting and evaluating broadcast prescribed fire. The handbook is designed solely for voluntary assessments, and is intended to document the prescribed fire treatment and to assess the success or failure of specific fire prescriptions. Specific topics covered include plot layout, environmental information collection, fuel sampling, estimation of mineral soil exposure, photography, and fuel calculations.

Download or read book A Silvicultural Assessment of 10 Lodgepole Pine Stands After Partial Cutting to Reduce Susceptibility to Mountain Pine Beetle written by Roger J. Whitehead and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 15 years, selective cutting prescriptions have been applied by forest operations in southeastern British Columbia as part of a strategy to reduce landscape-level susceptibility to damage from mountain pine beetle outbreaks. The prescriptions have been applied in stands where maintenance of some mature forest cover is needed to meet management objectives for viewscapes, recreation and habitat or to hold some pine volume during periods of rising beetle activity until it is required or available for harvest. In this study, we examined 10 of these sites 5 to 14 years after harvest, and determined current stand composition and structure from direct sampling and pre- and post-treatment stand characteristics from stand reconstruction. We then related these characteristics to original treatment specifications; the volume removed during harvest and remaining on site after treatment; subsequent losses to wind, snow or bark beetle damage; current stocking status; radial growth rates of residual overstorey trees; and the nature of fuel complexes created and effects of treatment on potential fire behaviour.
Download or read book Silviculture Prescription Data Collection Field Handbook written by Michael Patrick Curran and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide is a technical support document intended to help forestry practitioners collect the information they need to prepare a silvicultural treatment regime and silviculture prescription in accordance with British Columbia Forest Practices Code legislation. It deals primarily with the collection & stratification of site-specific field data. After information on office preparation, stratification, plot establishment, and mapping procedures, the guide presents data collection procedures for silviculture prescription field forms. Copies of forms are included in the appendix. The data cover such matters as site characteristics, understorey & overstorey, soils, riparian & watershed values, soil & fire hazards, silvicultural systems & objectives, harvesting, forest health, stand tending, and forest resource values.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project was undertaken to review the ecological role of woody debris in temperate forest eco-systems, with particular emphasis on methods of estimating amounts and turnover rates, and the effects of logging and silvicultural activities on the amounts and behaviour of woody debris; to identify proposed or ongoing research with the Ministry of Forests related to the role of woody debris in the forest of British Columbia; to determine what information is available for the forest types of B.C.; and to identify forest types for which information on quantities or functions of woody debris is lacking and to discuss the research required to fill these gaps.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The effects of clearcutting and slashburning on vegetation and soil composition and structure were monitored at permanent plots in the Prince George Forest District for up to 10 years post-burn. Changes in floristic composition, percent cover, and height were documented and described for each study area. At each site, standard fire weather stations were used to determine fire weather codes and indices and predict forest floor moisture content. Woody fuel loading and consumption and burn severity were determined using a line-intercept approach in standard fire effects assessment triangles and circular plots. Forest floor consumption, mineral soil exposure, and woody fuel consumption were compared to values predicted by the Prescribed Fire Predictor."--Document.
Download or read book Succession After Slashburning in an Engelmann Spruce subalpine Fir Subzone Variant written by Evelyn Hope Hamilton and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was undertaken to determine the successional development after a slashburn of known severity on an Engelmann Spruce-Subalpine Fir (ESSF) biogeoclimatic zone site. Herbaceous and shrubby vegetation composition, cover, and height were monitored along with the growth of planted spruce seedlings for 11 years in 30 permanent sample plots. Fire effects were determined using depth-of-burn pins to measure forest floor consumption and fuel assessment triangles to measure fuel loading and consumption following a microplot approach. Fire weather conditions were determined using standard methods outlined in the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index System. The objectives of this study were to quantify and describe changes in percent cover, height, species composition, and diversity of vegetation following prescribed burning; to quantify and describe the growth and mortality of planted hybrid white spruce (Picea engelmannii x glauca) seedlings after prescribed burning; and to quantify site conditions, including fire weather and forest floor moisture content, and fire effects, such as forest floor and slash consumption, at the time of burning.
