Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From the world's leading forest ecologist who forever changed how people view trees and their connections to one another and to other living things in the forest—a moving, deeply personal journey of discovery Suzanne Simard is a pioneer on the frontier of plant communication and intelligence; her TED talks have been viewed by more than 10 million people worldwide. In this, her first book, now available in paperback, Simard brings us into her world, the intimate world of the trees, in which she brilliantly illuminates the fascinating and vital truths--that trees are not simply the source of timber or pulp, but are a complicated, interdependent circle of life; that forests are social, cooperative creatures connected through underground networks by which trees communicate their vitality and vulnerabilities with communal lives not that different from our own. Simard writes--in inspiring, illuminating, and accessible ways—how trees, living side by side for hundreds of years, have evolved, how they learn and adapt their behaviors, recognize neighbors, compete and cooperate with one another with sophistication, characteristics ascribed to human intelligence, traits that are the essence of civil societies--and at the center of it all, the Mother Trees: the mysterious, powerful forces that connect and sustain the others that surround them. And Simard writes of her own life, born and raised into a logging world in the rainforests of British Columbia, of her days as a child spent cataloging the trees from the forest and how she came to love and respect them. And as she writes of her scientific quest, she writes of her own journey, making us understand how deeply human scientific inquiry exists beyond data and technology, that it is about understanding who we are and our place in the world.

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 First year Response of Douglas fir After Release from Snowbrush Ceanothus written by Terry DeWayne Petersen and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The release of Douglas-fir from competition with snowbrush (Ceanothus velutinus Dougl.) has often been suggested as a way to improve conifer yield in the western Cascades. This study investigated this possibility by describing changes in the availability of water and light and the response of Douglas-fir to the changing environment, in the first year following controlled manipulation of competing vegetation. Treatments applied to individual Douglas-fir that occupied intermediate crown positions were: 1) complete release by applying herbicides to all vegetation, 2) release from only shrub competition by basal spraying, and 3) manual cutting of shrubs. The extent of soil moisture conservation during the summer drought was dependent upon the degree of vegetation control. Soil water potential remained near the field capacity level during the entire summer with complete control of competing vegetation. In contrast, the soil water was largely depleted to a depth of 40 centimeters with partial release and to a depth of at least one meter in undisturbed stands. The seasonal water stress of Douglas-fir closely followed the depletion of the lower profile soil water, rapid increases in the stress of control trees occurred once the lower profile water was depleted by competing vegetation. A large amount of standing dead shrub stems were found to effectively replace light normally intercepted by live shrub leaves. While the availability of light was greatly increased in younger stands with low stem biomass, a significant increase in light was not observed well beneath the dead canopy of older stands. Stress following full and sudden exposure with manual release reduced Douglas-fir height growth in the first season after treatment. An increase in height growth was not observed following the other release treatments. Greater relative volume increment and terminal bud volume in chemically released trees in one younger stand did suggest that positive growth responses may take place. Based on these environmental and growth responses, it is hypothesized that the more favorable water and light environments after release will promote increased Douglas-fir growth in the future. Unless other forms of stress are imposed, either later in the stand development or immediately after release such as observed in the manual release treatment, this increased growth will likely improve stand yield.
