This book was released on 2019 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beech Bark Disease (BBD) results in mortality of mature American beech (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.) and increased beech sapling density, potentially resulting in reduced recruitment of desirable species, mast production for wildlife, and economic timber value. Changes in forest structure have been quantified in northeastern United States where BBD has been present since 1929. However, these patterns are less understood for managed forests at the western edge of beech distribution where infestations are much more recent. Furthermore, approaches aimed at ameliorating negative impacts to assure the sustainability of managed post-BBD forests are lacking. To better understand and manage BBD impacted forests, I (1) quantified regeneration structure in beech salvage harvests (partial removal) (2) assessed factors associated with regeneration patterns including winter deer use (pellet count surveys), habitat class (moisture/nutrient regime), geographic region, and post-harvest basal area, and (3) assessed the regeneration potential and likely management outcomes of study stands with a decision support tool I developed. Data used to address these goals were collected from multiple plots in 2.02 ha (5 ac) study areas in each of 69 harvested stands in northern Michigan. Throughout my study area, tree regeneration > 1.5 m tall was dominated by beech and ironwood (Ostrya virginiana (Mill.) K Koch), which are considered undesirable for management. Region (Northern Lower Peninsula vs. Eastern Upper Peninsula) was more important than habitat class (nutrient/water regime), post-harvest basal area, and current winter deer use in predicting tree regeneration composition and density. Despite dominance by undesirable species for stems > 1.5 m tall, most stands had high densities of desirable species (e.g. Acer saccharum) in

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together different 'schools' of ecological investigation of woodlands. After a description of the structure and floristic composition of the research sites, involving a comparison of boreal, temperate, Mediterranean and tropical forest, the study goes on to consider the dynamic aspects of the woodland formation.
Download or read book Beech Forests written by R. Peters and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume compares the beech forests of eastern Asia, North America and Europe. Beech forests are important in each of these three regions. No other book covers beech on this scale. The author has personally studied beech forests in each region, and his large body of data is the starting point for comparison. For such a world-wide comparison to be justified, factors that have most strongly influenced the beech forests should be known. First, use and management of beech forests are compared. They have influenced beech forests for millennia and have been very different in each region. Next, in a historical comparison spread and speciation since the early Tertiary are analysed. Today's beech forests cover a wide range of climates and soils; they occur in cool temperate regions as well as on tropical mountains. The final part compares the trees and forests themselves: growth and form of trees, species composition and populations, forest structure and forest dynamics.

Download or read book The Forests Handbook Volume 1 written by Julian Evans and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of the world's forests is at the forefront of environmental debate. Rising concerns over the effects of deforestation and climate change are highlighting the need both to conserve and manage existing forests and woodland through sustainable forestry practices. The Forests Handbook, written by an international team of both scientists and practitioners, presents an integrated approach to forests and forestry, applying our present understanding of forest science to management practices, as a basis for achieving sustainability. Volume One presents an overview of the world's forests; their locations and what they are like, the science of how they operate as complex ecosystems and how they interact with their environment. Volume Two applies this science to reality; it focuses on forestry interventions and their impact, the principles governing how to protect forests and on how we can better harness the enormous benefits forests offer. Case studies are drawn from several different countries and are used to illustrate the key points. Development specialists, forest managers and those involved with land and land-use will find this handbook a valuable and comprehensive overview of forest science and forestry practice. Researchers and students of forestry, biology, ecology and geography will find it equally accessible and useful.
Download or read book USDA Forest Service Experimental Forests and Ranges written by Deborah C. Hayes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: USDA Forest Service Experimental Forests and Ranges (EFRs) are scientific treasures, providing secure, protected research sites where complex and diverse ecological processes are studied over the long term. This book offers several examples of the dynamic interactions among questions of public concern or policy, EFR research, and natural resource management practices and policies. Often, trends observed – or expected -- in the early years of a research program are contradicted or confounded as the research record extends over decades. The EFRs are among the few areas in the US where such long-term research has been carried out by teams of scientists. Changes in society’s needs and values can also redirect research programs. Each chapter of this book reflects the interplay between the ecological results that emerge from a long-term research project and the social forces that influence questions asked and resources invested in ecological research. While these stories include summaries and syntheses of traditional research results, they offer a distinctly new perspective, a larger and more complete picture than that provided by a more typical 5-year study. They also provide examples of long-term research on EFRs that have provided answers for questions not even imagined at the time the study was installed.
