Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regenerating British Columbia's Forests will assist those responsible for planning reforestation projects to reach informed decisions and will challenge them to consider primarily the biological factors basic to reforestation success rather than short-term costs and production technology. Although its main audience is practising foresters and forestry students of British Columbia, the text will be of considerable interest to foresters in other parts of Canada, the United States, and Europe who manage reforestation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost all harvested sites in the interior cedar hemlock (ICH) zone of British Columbia are currently planted, but natural regeneration can be a viable reforestation alternative in small patch cuts or where a partial canopy is retained. This report describes a project in which five small, variable-sized patch cuts in an ICH forest were studied to determine the effects of opening size, edge characteristics, and substrate quality on the distribution & composition of natural regeneration. Results are presented & discussed regarding regeneration at four years after harvest.

Download or read book High Elevation Regeneration Strategies for Subalpine and Montane Forests of Coastal British Columbia written by J. T. Arnott and published by Canadian Forest Service. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes an assessment of artificial and natural regeneration carried out in 12 different locations in the montane coastal western hemlock and subalpine mountain hemlock forests of British Columbia. Survival, growth, and stem form of eight different species, three stock types, and two planting seasons were compared to the growth, stocking, and stem form of naturally regenerated species. The species used in the trials included fir, pine, cedar, and hemlock. A ranking procedure is used to rate the species' productivity, reliability, and feasibility in the two regions studied. An appropriate regeneration strategy is recommended, with certain species providing the basic silviculture resource and others being used to increase the stand value and crop reliability.

Download or read book British Columbia s Inland Rainforest written by Susan K. Stevenson and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast temperate rainforests of coastal British Columbia are world renowned, but much less is known about the other rainforest located 500 kilometres inland along the western slopes of the interior mountains. The unique integration of continentality and humidity in this region favours the development of lush rainforest communities that incorporate both coastal and boreal elements. This book brings together, for the first time, a broad spectrum of information about the ecology, management, and conservation of this distinctive ecosystem. Accessibly written and generously illustrated, the chapters examine the physical, social, economic, and ecological dimensions of the rainforest. They also look at how the delicate balance of this ecosystem has been threatened by human use and climate change. In the past, governments encouraged the forest industry to clearcut the “decadent” old stands and replace them with rapidly growing young trees of other species. More recently, out of concern for the ecological consequences of such practices, researchers have begun to examine alternative management strategies. This book offers a vision that combines various strategies in order to balance the conservation of the inland rainforest as a fully functioning ecosystem with human use of its diverse resources.

Each chapter covers a management phase in woodland management, primarily for timber production but with consideration to the safeguarding or enhancement of other resource values. Topics of chapters include forestry basics, forest inventory, management planning, stand management (silvicultural systems, commercial thinning), multi-use forestry (agroforestry), forest access (woodland roads), harvesting, marketing timber & non-timber products, reforestation, stand tending, forest protection, business planning, forest legislation, and information resources.

Download or read book Silviculture Prescription Guidebook written by British Columbia. Ministry of Forests and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A silviculture prescription is a site-specific plan that describes the forest management objectives for an area. A prescription prescribes the method for harvesting the existing forest stand and a series of silviculture treatments that will be carried out to establish a free growing crop of trees in a manner that accommodates other resource values as identified. This document describes the contents of what silviculture prescription plans must contain in British Columbia to comply with the Forest Practices Code. It includes information on general requirements for the plan as well as specific requirements for tenure identification, management objectives, degree of consistency with other plans, ecological and resource information, forest health assessment and prescription, soil conservation, actions to accommodate forest resource values, silvicultural systems, harvesting, fire hazard abatement, silviculture treatments, stocking standards, and mapping.
