This book was released on 1998 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes issues and problems in forest soil rehabilitation in British Columbia, presenting an up-to-date review of the scientific literature and the activities of rehabilitation specialists and practitioners working for the forest industry and government. The focus is on techniques for restoring soil productivity, with the implied objective of re-establishing a productive forest ecosystem on a site that has suffered degradation. The first two sections of the report provide an overview of soil rehabilitation in the province and review the productivity of degraded and rehabilitated forest soils. This is followed by a section on soil physical process and nutrient cycling, describing how an understanding of growth-limiting conditions can guide practitioners to strategies for effective and cost-efficient rehabilitation. The next section reviews rehabilitation techniques, including tillage, topsoil conservation and replacement, reforestation and revegetation methods, and soil amelioration using fertilizers, amendments, and mulches. Finally, information gaps and research needs are identified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British Columbia Forest Practices Code creates a legal requirement for soil conservation and, in particular, calls for skid road rehabilitation to restore site productivity & site hydrology. This report presents the seven-year results of a research trial initiated in the Nelson Forest Region in 1985 to test the efficacy of rehabilitation practices by quantifying tree growth on rehabilitated skid roads. Sites were planted with lodgepole pine, Engelmann spruce, or both. At eight locations in the Rocky and Purcell mountains, total height, annual height increment, and basal diameter were measured on 1,713 trees ranging in age from six to ten years. Comparisons are made between growth of undisturbed trees and those on various locations on the rehabilitated berm. Based on the results, recommendations are made regarding improvements to skid road rehabilitation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forests of the Pacific Northwest have been an epicenter for the evolution of truffle fungi with over 350 truffle species and 55 genera currently identified. Truffle fungi develop their reproductive fruit-bodies typically belowground, so they are harder to find and study than mushrooms that fruit aboveground. Nevertheless, over the last five decades, the Corvallis Forest Mycology program of the Pacific Northwest Research Station has amassed unprecedented knowledge on the diversity and ecology of truffles in the region. Truffle fungi form mycorrhizal symbioses that benefit the growth and survival of many tree and understory plants. Truffle fruit-bodies serve as a major food souce for many forest-dwelling mammals. A few truffle species are commercially harvested for gourmet consumption in regional restaurants. This publication explores the biology and ecology of truffle fungi in the Pacific Northwest, their importance in forest ecosystems, and effects of various silvicultural practices on sustaining truffle populations. General management principles and considerations to sustain this valuable fungal resource are provided.
