Book Managing for Wildlife Habitat in West side Production Forests

Download or read book Managing for Wildlife Habitat in West side Production Forests written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 18, 2006, a workshop was held in Vancouver, WA, with the title "Managing for wildlife habitat in west-side production forests." The purpose of the workshop was to provide prescriptions and guidelines for people who manage west-side forests (those west of the Cascade Mountains' crest) primarily for wood production, but because of mandate or personal preference, want to integrate wildlife values. The audience included over 150 professionals from forest industry, consulting firms, and public and tribal forest and wildlife management agencies. This proceedings includes ten papers based on oral presentations at the workshop plus a synthesis paper summarizing workshop themes, discussions, and related information. Topics include a history of wildlife management research in the Pacific Northwest, elements of habitat and how to manage for them, the challenges of appropriately implementing ecosystem management, and economic implications to private forestland owners.

Book Structural Development of Late Successional Forests in the Central Oregon Coast Range

Download or read book Structural Development of Late Successional Forests in the Central Oregon Coast Range written by Barbara A. Schrader and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patterns of western hemlock regeneration were studied in relation to forest structural development and environment in the Oregon Coast Range. Density of western hemlock seedlings was examined across the climatic gradient from cool, moist coastal areas to the seasonally hot and dry Willamette Valley Margin. Seedling densities were most strongly related to stand-level variables including stand age, frequency and abundance of overstory western hemlock trees, abundance of coarse woody debris, decreasing shrub cover, and increasing overstory conifer cover. Significant regional climate and topographic variables included mean annual temperature, precipitation and elevation. Dispersal distances between western hemlock seedlings and potential parents were characterized by measuring distances between seedlings and potential parents. Cone production in western hemlock trees by size class was estimated in four late successional Coast Range stands. Dispersal distances were most commonly short - generally within 10 meters of the nearest potential parent tree. Cone production was related to diameter and crown position, with larger codominant and dominant trees producing more cones than smaller trees. Dynamics and age structure of western hemlock in late successional forests was described in terms of age and size distributions, rooting patterns, and growth rates of western hemlock seedlings, saplings, and trees across the climatic gradient and related to stand level factors in six late successional forests. Time between initial and subsequent western hemlock regeneration pulses varied between 40-70 years. These patterns were observed in all stands. Striking differences in substrate colonization patterns were observed between seedlings and trees and at climatic extremes. Seedlings were predominantly observed on decaying wood while trees were generally observed on forest floor substrates. An exception to this pattern occurred in near-coastal sites where western hemlock of all size classes were found almost entirely on decaying wood substrates. Growth rates across size classes were also calculated and related to regional and stand-level variables. Highest growth rates occurred in low elevation coastal sites, in stands containing the highest levels of coarse woody debris, and the highest level of canopy gaps. Seedling growth rates averaged 4 cm/year for seedlings, and between .2-.6 cm/year diameter growth for overstory saplings and trees.

Book The CABI Encyclopedia of Forest Trees

Download or read book The CABI Encyclopedia of Forest Trees written by CABI and published by CABI. This book was released on 2013 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CABI Encyclopedia of Forest Trees provides an extensive overview of 300 of the world's most important forest trees. Tropical, subtropical, temperate and boreal trees of major economic importance are included, covering tree species used in agroforestry practices around the world. Many of the species covered are considered to be multipurpose trees with uses extending beyond timber alone; the land uses such as watershed protection or provision of windbreaks, and non-wood uses such as the production of medicines, resins, food and forage, are also listed. Comprehensive information is presented on each tree's importance, with a summary of the main characteristics of the species, its potential for agroforestry use and any disadvantages it possesses. The tree's botanical features such as habit, stem form, foliage, inflorescence, flower and fruit characters and phenology are covered in detail with over 70 color plate pictures to aid identification. Also included are specific sections devoted to pests and diseases, distribution and silvicultural characteristics and practices, including seed sowing, nursery care, planting, thinning, and harvesting. In addition to the wealth of information detailed, based on datasheets from CABI's Forestry Compendium, selected references for further reading are provided for each entry, making this book an essential reference work for forestry students, researchers and practitioners.
