Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revision of the 1987 silvicultural guide (Leak et al. 1987) includes updated and expanded silvicultural information on northern hardwoods as well as additional information on wildlife habitat and the management of mixed-wood and northern hardwood-oak stands. The prescription methodology is simpler and more field-oriented. This guide also includes an appendix of familiar tables and charts useful to practicing field foresters. Northern hardwood forest types can be managed as even- or uneven-aged stands using a variety of silvicultural practices. In planning these practices, there are many factors to consider including access, species composition, desired regeneration, wildlife habitat needs and environmental concerns. The aim of this document is to provide guidelines to assist the manager in choosing the right methods to meet the landowner objectives consistent with stand conditions.

This book was released on 1969 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: S2The purpose of this paper is to provide a practical guide to the management of northern hardwoods principally beech, birch, and maple-in the Northeast. The guide was designed to provide the kind of information that is needed not only for long-term management planning, but also for short-term silvicultural prescriptions for specific timber stand conditions. The guide is limited to silvicultural recommendations primarily for timber production. However, secondary forest uses such as recreation, water, and wildlife habitat are considered wherever pertinent. The information in this guide applies directly to about 15 million acres of northern hardwoods in New England and New York, where northern hardwoods comprise nearly 35 percent of the commercial forest land area. Outside this area, the guide should be applied with caution. S3.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: S2SIMSAP and SlMTlM are computer programs that have been developed to simulate the stand growth and development of natural and treated even-aged northern hardwood stands. SIMSAP begins with species distributions by quality classes in sapling stands after regeneration. SIMTIM, the poletimber-sawtimber-harvest phase, uses stocking guides based on quadratic mean stand diameter, number of trees, and basal area per acre of trees in the main crown canopy. Using available data, the connecting phases of the models have been tebted to determine the effects of silvicultural treatments (or no treatment) on long-term stand response. The models are coded in FORTRAN 77 and are available on mainframe and IBM compatible microcomputers with a minimum of 256 K.S3.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1959 a study of crop-tree release and species cleaning was established in a 25-year-old northern hardwood stand growing on an above-average hardwood site that resulted from a silvicultural clearcut in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Three treatmentslight crop-tree release, heavy release, and species cleaningwere randomly assigned to quarter-acre plots, five plots per treatment, including five untreated plots. The stand was followed for 5 years and based on the results, treatment effects were projected to a stand age of 45 years. These projections were subjected to a financial analysis. The treatment plots were tallied at stand ages 56 (1990) and 69 (2003) years. We summarize the results of the early crop-tree release and species cleaning and provide a long-term financial perspective based on the new tallies. Our goal was to repeat the financial analysis and re-examine the results and conclusions of the original study. We found that the return on investment at stand ages 56 and 69 years was not as good as originally reported. The least expensive treatment, a light crop-tree release, gave the greatest return on investment. An opportunity for a commercial thinning between stand age 45 and 56 was missed and most likely would have improved the financial outcome of the treatments. Approximately 400 crop trees per acre were selected for release in 1959 but 200 crop trees per acre would have been more than sufficient and would have improved the financial outcome of the treatments by lowering initial cost. On a similarly good hardwood site, with an equally well stocked young stand, and good markets for small diameter roundwood, we only can speculate that releasing 200 or preferably fewer dominant or codominant trees per acre at stand age 25 followed by a commercial thinning when feasible after stand age 45 could be a good investment for a landowner.

Book excerpt: Balancing Ecosystem Values: Innovative Experiments for Sustainable Forestry is a compendium of more than 40 contributions from Asia, Europe, and North America. The theme encompasses experiments implemented at an operational scale to test ecological, social, or economic responses to silvicultural treatments designed to balance the complex set of objectives currently targeted in sustainable forest management. Several invited and plenary papers emphasize the variety of outcomes demanded by the public, as well as the essential role that these long-term studies will play in allowing natural resource managers to make better-informed, science-based decisions. A broad spectrum of silvicultural treatments and systems are covered, as are simulation runs with different types of models and discussion about design challenges for scaling up from stands to landscapes. Diverse forest ecosystems, stand structures and plant, animal, and fungal species are also considered. The conference included 2 days in the field where participants saw several types of the comprehensive field experiments firsthand. The conference concluded with a critique from state, private, and public land managers.
