Download or read book PROBE written by Suzanne Simard and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This land management handbook presents a design protocol that defines minimum standards for an objective, low intensity monitoring system called PROBE. PROBE's purpose is to provide a monitoring framework for use in a wide array of vegetation complexes, ecosystems, and operational vegetation management treatments. The framework standardizes installation location, response measurements and statistical analyses. This method satisfies the basic objective of most operational brushing evaluations, which is to determine the effects of vegetation management treatments on the survival and growth of crop trees, and on the abundance of target non-crop species. The condition of wildlife habitat can be monitored within the PROBE framework and site preparation treatments can also be monitored using PROBE.
Download or read book Effects of Operational Brushing on Conifers and Plant Communities in the Southern Interior of British Columbia written by Suzanne Simard and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook contains information on the effects of operational brushing treatments on conifers & plant communities in the Kamloops and Nelson forest regions of British Columbia. Data were collected over a nine-year period from 96 individual PROBE (PRotocol for Operational Brushing Evaluations) trials. The first three sections present an introduction to the PROBE program, its objectives, and the research methodology. Sections 4 to 11 contain detailed analyses for eight vegetation complexes (fireweed, fern, mixed shrub, ericaceous shrub & subalpine herb, dry alder, wet alder, aspen, and mixed broadleaf/shrub complex). Each of these sections contains an abstract, an introduction, site descriptions, results, discussion, conclusions, and management implications. The final section is an overall summary and management recommendation. Appendices include information about the willow and pinegrass complexes, a summary of results for unreplicated treatments involving those communities, and summary tables of information about PROBE sites that presently represent unreplicated treatment cells.

Download or read book Brushing and Grazing Effects on Lodgepole Pine Vascular Plants and Range Forage in Three Plant Communities in the Southern Interior of British Columbia written by Suzanne Simard and published by University of British Columbia Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of research trials established in 1986-87 in the Kamloops Forest Region, British Columbia, studied the effectiveness of chemical and manual treatment methods for controlling competing vegetation, and also studied the impact that these brushing methods had on the range resource in the region. This report first describes the study methodology, including site selection, experimental design, measurements made, and statistical analyses. It then reports the results of the three studies in the series: the effects of brushing and grazing on lodgepole pine, the dry alder plant community, and range forage at the Devick Lake site; effects of brushing and grazing on lodgepole pine, the willow plant community, and range forage at the Ellis Creek site; and effects of brushing on lodgepole pine, the pinegrass plant community, and range forage at the Upper McKay Creek site.

Download or read book Productivity of Western Forests written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 20-23, 2004, a conference was held in Kamilche, WA, with the title S2Productivity of Western Forests: A Forest Products Focus. S3 The meeting brought together researchers and practitioners interested in discussing the economic and biological factors influencing wood production and value. One of the underlying assumptions of the meeting organizers was that management activities would be practiced within a framework of sustaining or improving site productivity; thus, several papers deal with methods to protect or improve productivity or discuss new studies designed to test the effects of various practices. This proceedings includes 11 papers based on oral presentations at the conference, 3 papers based on posters and 2 papers describing the Fall River and Matlock Long-Term Site Productivity study areas visited on the field tours. The papers cover subjects on forest harvesting activities, stand establishment, silviculture, site productivity, remote sensing, and wood product technologies.
