Download or read book Swan Lake Forest Research Reserve 20 year Management Plan 2005 2025 written by Elaine Curran Mallory and published by Sault Ste. Marie : Ontario Forest Research Institute. This book was released on 2005 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swan Lake Forest Research Reserve was established in 1950 to study the ecology & silviculture of commercially important hardwood species of south central Ontario. It covers 3,480 hectares in the south-west corner of Algonquin Provincial Park. This management plan supersedes the previous (1983) planning document for the Reserve and details plans for management of the Reserve for the next 20 years. The introduction explains the value, benefits, & objectives of the Reserve. This is followed by a description of the Reserve site, a history of the Reserve, and review of research & extension programs both current & planned. Part 6 describes Reserve infrastructure (roads, buildings) and planned activities related to maintenance & upgrading. Part 7 contains guidelines to facilitate communication between the Reserve and Park management. Finally, excerpts are presented from two important documents that regulate activities in the Reserve: the Algonquin Provincial Park Management Plan and the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Parks & Conservation Reserves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little information is available on the labour force in the forest management services industry, with the exception of two 1987 studies from B.C. This report augments this information with data gathered in eastern Ontario in a joint 1989 study by Forestry Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. Silviculture workers were surveyed in forest renewal, site preparation, stand tending, and nursery activities areas. The survey covered personal, social, economic and occupational areas, and was conducted through interviews with the workers.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication summarizes a workshop on the elements of the Ontario Forest Accord that relate to intensive forest management (IFM). The first section presents summaries of presentations made at four sessions: an introductory session on government, industry, and interest group perspectives on IFM; a practices session, with reviews of forest management trends & IFM practices under way in various jurisdictions; an applications session, covering such topics as software & simulators for forest operations planning & operator training, silvicultural methods, and decision support systems; and a session discussing social, environmental, & economic aspects of IFM. The second part summarizes breakout sessions used to solicit participant input to identify what is known & what needs to be known about IFM to adapt it for use in Ontario forests.

Download or read book Salvage Logging and Its Ecological Consequences written by David B. Lindenmayer and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2012-07-16 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salvage logging—removing trees from a forested area in the wake of a catastrophic event such as a wildfire or hurricane—is highly controversial. Policymakers and those with an economic interest in harvesting trees typically argue that damaged areas should be logged so as to avoid “wasting” resources, while many forest ecologists contend that removing trees following a disturbance is harmful to a variety of forest species and can interfere with the natural process of ecosystem recovery. Salvage Logging and Its Ecological Consequences brings together three leading experts on forest ecology to explore a wide range of issues surrounding the practice of salvage logging. They gather and synthesize the latest research and information about its economic and ecological costs and benefits, and consider the impacts of salvage logging on ecosystem processes and biodiversity. The book examines • what salvage logging is and why it is controversial • natural and human disturbance regimes in forested ecosystems • differences between salvage harvesting and traditional timber harvesting • scientifically documented ecological impacts of salvage operations • the importance of land management objectives in determining appropriate post-disturbance interventions Brief case studies from around the world highlight a variety of projects, including operations that have followed wildfires, storms, volcanic eruptions, and insect infestations. In the final chapter, the authors discuss policy management implications and offer prescriptions for mitigating the impacts of future salvage harvesting efforts. Salvage Logging and Its Ecological Consequences is a “must-read” volume for policymakers, students, academics, practitioners, and professionals involved in all aspects of forest management, natural resource planning, and forest conservation.

Download or read book Protection Strategy against Spruce Budworm written by David A. MacLean and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-01-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.)) outbreaks are a dominant natural disturbance in the forests of Canada and northeastern USA. Widespread, severe defoliation by this native insect results in large-scale mortality and growth reductions of spruce (Picea sp.) and balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.) forests, and largely determines future age–class structure and productivity. The last major spruce budworm outbreak defoliated over 58 million hectares in the 1970s–1980s, and caused 32–43 million m3/year of timber volume losses from 1978 to 1987, in Canada. Management to deal with spruce budworm outbreaks has emphasized forest protection, spraying registered insecticides to prevent defoliation and keep trees alive. Other tactics can include salvage harvesting, altering harvest schedules to remove the most susceptible stands, or reducing future susceptibility by planting or thinning. Chemical insecticides are no longer used, and protection strategies use biological insecticides Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) or tebufenozide, a specific insect growth regulator. Over the last five years, a $30 million research project has tested another possible management tactic, termed an ‘early intervention strategy’, aimed at area-wide management of spruce budworm populations. This includes intensive monitoring to detect ‘hot spots’ of rising budworm populations before defoliation occurs, targeted insecticide treatment to prevent spread, and detailed research into target and non-target insect effects. The objective of this Special Issue is to compile the most recent research on protection strategies against spruce budworm. A series of papers will describe results and prospects for the use of an early intervention strategy in spruce budworm and other insect management.
