Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lumber Grade Yields From Paper Birch and Balsam Poplar Logs in the Susitna River Valley, Alaska The earliest plans to use this hardwood resource were made in 1916 by Robert Dollar, who made an initial survey Of the Goose Bay area Of the Knik stand for the steamship company that he headed. The plan was to develop cargo for the Orient, but World War I stopped that enterprise. More recently, both the Knik and Talkeetna birch stands have been under sporadic scrutiny by a succession Of entrepreneurs. Many have been impressed by the birch stands, but most have concluded that, because of high Operational cost, the' time was not ripe for commercial use Of the resource. The Alaska Hardwoods Company has been Operating a sawmill in Wasilla since 1960 (fig. Most Of the mill's output Of paper birch and balsam poplar has been marketed locally, although some lumber has been shipped to California and the Pacific Northwest. If these and other outside markets are to be developed fully, basic Operating and economic information must be obtained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grades and Amount of Lumber: Sawed From Yellow Poplar, Yellow Birch, Sugar Maple, and Beech The Forest Service has endeavored to determine, in typical localities and nudel good conditions of manufacture, the graded yield. And the money Value of some important Commercial trees. It should be borne in mind, however, that the figures obtained will i by no means fix absolutely the graded yield and the Value of the species studied over their entire range of growth. The character of timber changes in different localities and in different situations within the same locality; the conditions governing its logging, control the manner and extent of each tree's utilization; the demands of a given market regulate methods Of manufacture; the efficiency of the mill'and of the mill crew affects the quality and quantity of the products; and the nature and application of the grading rules determine results. Therefore the results from no two mills can be exactly similar. Nevertheless, figures suchas those given for yellow poplar, yellow birch, sugar maple, and beech give relatively, if not absolutely, the graded yield and the value of the species.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Properties and grade yield are estimated for structural lumber produced from No. 3, No. 4, and low-end No. 2 grade western hemlock logs of the type previously used primarily for the production of pulp chips. Estimates are given for production in the Structural Framing, Machine Stress Rating, and Laminating Stock grading systems. The information shows that significant amounts of higher grade structural lumber can be produced from these lower grade logs.

This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lumber Grade Yields in the Loblolly-Shortleaf Pine Type by the Southern Pine Log Grades The lumber grade percentage recovery by log d.i.b. And grade for each of the mill-scale studies is shown in tables 1 and 2 and in graphic form in figures 3 and 4. The percentages are average figures taken from smoothed curves and are based on rough green lumber tally. Although the logs were a mixture of shortleaf and loblolly pine, a large majority were of the latter species. The grade yields are based on 861 logs in the Coastal Plain and M27 logs in the southern Piedmont. Four additional logs in each study were not included since they occurred singly in d.i.b.-grade categories at the extremes of the range.

Download or read book Watershed Condition Classification Technical Guide written by U.s. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-08-15 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Strategic Plan for fiscal year (FY) 2010–2015 targets the restoration of watershed and forest health as a core management objective of the national forests and grasslands. To achieve this goal, the Forest Service, an agency of USDA, is directed to restore degraded watersheds by strategically focusing investments in watershed improvement projects and conservation practices at landscape and watershed scales. The Forest Service formed the National Watershed Condition Team and tasked it with developing a nationally consistent, science-based approach to classify the condition of all National Forest System (NFS) watersheds and to develop outcome-based performance measures for watershed restoration. The team evaluated alternative approaches for classifying watersheds (USDA Forest Service 2007) and developed the watershed condition classification (WCC) system described in this technical guide. The team designed the WCC system to—Classify the condition of all NFS watersheds; Be quantitative to the extent feasible; Rely on Geographic Information System (GIS) technology; Be cost effective; Be implementable within existing budgets; Include resource areas and activities that have a significant influence on watershed condition. National forests are required to revise the classification on an annual basis. The WCC system is a national forest-based, reconnaissance level evaluation of watershed condition achievable within existing budgets and staffing levels that can be aggregated for a national assessment of watershed condition. The WCC system offers a systematic, flexible means of classifying watersheds based on a core set of national watershed condition indicators. The system relies on professional judgment exercised by forest interdisciplinary (ID) teams, GIS data, and national databases to the extent they are available, and on written rule sets and criteria for indicators that describe the three watershed condition classes (functioning properly, functioning at risk, and impaired function). The WCC system relies on Washington Office and regional office oversight for flexible and consistent application among national forests. The WCC system is a first approximation of watershed condition, and we will revise and refine it over time. The expectation is that we will improve and refine individual resource indicators and that we will develop databases and map products to assist with future classifications. The WCC information will be incorporated into the watershed condition framework, which will ultimately be employed to establish priorities, evaluate program performance, and communicate watershed restoration successes to interested stakeholders and Congress. The watershed condition goal of the Forest Service is “to protect National Forest System watersheds by implementing practices designed to maintain or improve watershed condition, which is the foundation for sustaining ecosystems and the production of renewable natural resources, values, and benefits” (FSM 2520). U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack reemphasized this policy in his “Vision for the Forest Service” when he stated that achieving restoration of watershed and forest health would be the primary management objective of the Forest Service (USDA 2010). This Watershed Condition Classification Technical Guide helps to implement this policy objective by—1. Establishing a systematic process for determining watershed condition class that all national forests can apply consistently; 2. Improving Forest Service reporting and tracking of watershed condition; 3. Strengthening the effectiveness of the Forest Service to maintain and restore the productivity and resilience of watersheds and their associated aquatic systems on NFS lands.
