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.

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.

Book excerpt: Northern hardwood forests are a vast, temperate forest-type existing across much of northeastern North America. In the northeastern U.S., these forests are found from New York to Maine where they have central cultural, ecological, and economic significance. These ecosystems are incredibly variable across this region, growing on a range of sites and influenced by a suite of biotic and abiotic conditions. Developing management regimes that accommodate the ecological complexity of these forests has been the focus of silvicultural studies for decades; however, this work has been constrained by temporal and spatial limitations. As such, there is still uncertainty regarding the evolution and variability of northern hardwood forests over time and across sites under different management scenarios. To address this uncertainty we synthesized long-term silvicultural studies (20 years +) throughout the northeast and assessed outcomes as they related to management objectives and changing forest conditions. Specifically, we explored the regeneration dynamics and development of overstory conditions for even and uneven-aged systems with four distinct approaches. First, we established context for this work through review of existing silvicultural research and analysis of the current northern hardwood resource. Next, we applied long-term, regional inventories to consider abiotic and biotic factors influencing recent sugar maple (Acer saccharum) establishment and survival. We then evaluated long-term outcomes of commonly applied even and uneven-age silvicultural systems across a range of sites in New York and New Hampshire using repeated inventories from long-term research trials. Finally, we followed the evolution of gap dynamics over eight decades in the oldest group selection study in North America; research established at the Bartlett Experimental Forest in New Hampshire in the early 1930s. Cumulatively, results showed a frequent disconnect between structure and composition of the overstory and regeneration layers, and the potential for future challenges to sustaining current overstory species. In addition, this work highlighted the pervasive, negative influence of American beech (Fagus grandifolia) across the region on regeneration of desired species, namely sugar maple and yellow birch (Betula alleghenesis). Outcomes from this work suggest that a variety of silvicultural systems can be used to maintain and regenerate northern hardwood forests; however favorable outcomes require careful consideration of site conditions with management regimes tailored accordingly.

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.
