Book excerpt: Excerpt from Growth of Historical Sitka Spruce Plantations at Unalaska Bay, Alaska The Aleutian Islands extend miles (1770 km) in a southwest arc from the Alaska Peninsula to the Commander Islands of East Asia and separate the Bering Sea from the North Pacific Ocean. The most striking feature of the Aleutian Islands is the treeless landscape. Absence of forests was an obstacle to colonization of the region during the 18th and 19ln centuries. The nearest forests were more than 500 nautical miles (926 km) northeast of the Aleutian Islands and wood was needed for firewood, construction of houses and other buildings, and repair of ships. Driftwood was substituted for timber in building construction and other uses. Early 19th century Russian settlers transplanted Sitka spruce (picea sitchensis (bong) Carr.) from south east Alaska or Kodiak Island to Unalaska and neighboring islands (fig. Success of the plantationsz attracted the attention of visiting botanists, and many additional attempts were made to establish trees in the Aleutian Islands during the 19th and 2oth centuries. Thousands of seedlings from Kodiak, southeast Alaska, and the con tiguous 48 States were transplanted during World War II to reduce the monotony of the landscape, beautify dwellings, and control erosion of disturbed soils (bruce and Court Sitka spruce was the most successful species, and many seedlings transplanted during the 19th century and World War II survived on sheltered sites in Unalaska Bay. Trees transplanted during the early 19th century produced natural regeneration on disturbed sites after World War II. A dense 19th century grove on Expedition Island and several small World War II plantations on Amaknak Island provided an opportunity to measure tree size and growth. The measurements were used to estimate the growth and yield of fully stocked plantations on productive sites in Unalaska Bay.

Download or read book Shades of Green written by Ruth Tittensor and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2016-10-31 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a fresh look at the most disliked tree in Britain and Ireland, explaining the reasons it was introduced and why it became ubiquitous in the archipelagos of northwest Europe. Sitka spruce has contributed to the Pacific Coast landscapes of North America for over ten millennia. For the Tlingit First Nation it is the most important tree in terms of spiritual relationships, art, and products in daily use such as canoes, containers, fish-traps and sweet cakes. Since the late nineteenth century it has also been the most important tree to the timber industry of west coast North America. The historical background to the modern use of Sitka spruce is explored. The lack of cultural reference may explain negative public response when treeless uplands in the UK and Ireland were afforested with introduced conifer species, particularly Sitka spruce, following two World Wars. The multipurpose forestry of today recognizes that Sitka spruce is the most important tree to the timber industry and to a public which uses its many products but fails to recognize the link between growing trees and bought goods. The apparently featureless and wildlife-less Sitka spruce plantations in UK uplands are gradually developing recognizable ecological features. Sitka spruce has the potential to form temperate rain forests this century as well as to produce much-needed goods for society. The major contribution of Sitka spruce to landscapes and livelihoods in western North America is, by contrast, widely accepted. But conserving natural, old-growth forests, sustaining the needs of First Nations, and producing materials for the modern timber industry will be an intricate task.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cull Factors for Sitka Spruce, Western Hemlock, and Western Redcedar in Southeast Alaska Within a species the average amount of cull in a tree increases with its age. However, it is impossible or impracticable to determine the age of each sample tree when cruising. Since tree size is ordinar ily correlated with age and is readily measured by cruisers, tree diameter has been employed in the preparation of these cull factors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sitka spruce, the largest of the world's spruces, is an important component of British Columbia's coastal forests. Its ecology gives it a special place in the sustainable management of the province's forests. However, in west coast forestry it is poorly known in comparison with its main coniferous companions -- Douglas-fir, western redcedar, and western hemlock. As an important international forestry resource, it is crucial that Sitka spruce -- its ecology and the ecosystems in which it occurs -- be clearly understood by those who are involved with its management.
