Book excerpt: Controlling competing vegetation is an essential silvicultural practice to ensure an environment favourable to the survival and growth of conifer plantations established in temperate and boreal forests. However, with the public's increasing concerns over the potential environmental effects of chemical herbicides, it is necessary to develop alternative vegetation management approaches. The objective of this document is to present the results of research projects that were carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed alternative solutions, and to elaborate on application procedures.

Download or read book Development of Silvicultural Keys to Support Integrated Vegetation Management Decision Making in Forest Renewal written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many forest resource managers have identified a framework and decision support system for the development of consistent silvicultural prescriptions as an important need. Silvicultural prescriptions must be evaluated in terms of specific biological, operational, and financial constraints, but this is difficult given the large number of possible alternatives and external factors. One solution is to adopt an active problem-solving approach to developing a set of silvicultural decision keys to support integrated vegetation management. This report describes the development and use of silvicultural keys for the Brightsand and English River Forests in Ontario. The report examines the specific decision making processes in detail to provide guidance to other resource managers who may wish to develop silvicultural keys for their forests.

Download or read book Forest Vegetation Management for Conifer Production written by John Daniel Walstad and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1987 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Representing the work of an interdisciplinary team of 20 specialists, this text consolidates, for the first time, the information available on forest vegetation management and integrates this practice with other silvicultural considerations. It provides a conceptual framework as well as a database for improving forest vegetation management decisions. In an accurate and complete mannner, it quantifies opportunities for enhancing forest productivity, illustrates the value of vegetation management treatments in protecting forest resources and investments, outlines the concept of economic thresholds, highlights progress in establishing such limits and consolidates the information on treatment efficacy, advantages and disadvantages and tradeoffs involved. Forest managers will find it useful to evaluate silvicultural prescriptions and investment decisions; forest planners and resource specialists can use it as a reference source for preparing environmental impact assessments; and regulatory officials can use it to train and upgrade the skills of professionals.
