This book was released on 2018-11-21 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moisture Distributions in Western Hemlock Lumber From Trees Harvested Near Sitka, Alaska This research project is viewed as a first step in developing kiln drying schedules for western hemlock in southeast Alaska. Lumber that is grouped together according to green moisture content can reduce the likelihood of defects resulting from uneven drying. Alternatively, separate drying schedules could be developed for lumber having uniformly high moisture content that would not require sorting prior to drying.

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.

Download or read book Logging Residue in Southeast Alaska Classic Reprint written by James O. Howard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Logging Residue in Southeast Alaska Detailed information on logging residues in southeast Alaska is provided as input to economic and technical assessments of its use for products or site amenities. Two types of information are presented. Ratios are presented that can be used to gener ate an estimate, based on volume or acres harvested, of the cubic-foot volume of residue for any particular area of southeast Alaska. Separate ratios are given for live and dead or cull material, and for net and gross volume. Tables display per-acre residue volume by various characteristics that might affect either use or disposition. These tables show net or gross volume, or both, by diameter and length classes, by origin, by percentage of soundness, by degree of slopes and distance to roads, and by number of pieces of residue per acre. Keywords: Southeast Alaska, logging residue, slash, residue estimation, fuel wood, residue management. A large volume of woody biomass has traditionally remained on site after logging in southeast Alaska. Interest is growing in this material for energy and conventional products, as well as for its environmental attributes. A great deal of information is needed on the volume and characteristics of residue to adequately address these options. Existing sources were out of date and did not provide the information needed to make site-specific assessments for southeast Alaska. This study provides the capability to estimate the volume and characteristics of logging residue throughout southeast Alaska. This study had two objectives. The first was to develop ratios for use in estimating the volume of logging residue for any area in southeast Alaska. These ratios relate the quantity of residue to timber harvest volume or harvested acres. Study results show, for example. An average net volume of logging residue (wood only) of 79 to 109 cubic feet per thousand board feet of harvest and an average gross volume ranging from 125 to 158 cubic feet per thousand board feet of harvest. The second objective was to provide data characterizing logging residue in ways that might affect its utilization for various products or its management for environmental considerations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Silvical Characteristics of Sitka Spruce Sitka spruce (picea is the largest of the native spruces and a major timber and pulpwood tree of the Pacific Coast. The name Sitka, referring to Sitka, Alaska, and the names coast Spruce, tideland spruce, and yellow spruce (ll)i -sometimes used for this species - are descriptive of its range, which is restricted to a long, narrow strip along the Pacific Ocean from California to Alaska (fig. The range is over 1, 800 miles long, yet so closely correlated with the coastal fog belt that it extends inland only a short distance. Width varies to a maximum of about 130 miles in Alaska, which is the distance from the western shore of the islands to the limit of the type on the sea slope of the coastal mountains. Moving south the range generally narrows but is very irregular, with spruce reaching many miles up coastal streams. Maximum width in Washington and Oregon is 25 to 30 miles. In California, the range of Sitka spruce is restricted to the mouth of streams and low valleys facing the ocean (12.
