Download or read book Vegetation Development and Fire Effects at the Walker Creek Site written by Evelyn Hope Hamilton and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slashburning has been widely used in British Columbia and some work has been done to improve the tools used to predict fire effects in cutblocks. This report provides information that can be used to guide the application of the most commonly used tools--the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index System (CFFWIS) and Prescribed Fire Predictor (PFP)--in SBS cutblocks. The objectives of this study were: to quantify and describe changes in percent cover, height, species composition, and diversity of vegetation on forest floor and mineral soil substrates, for 10 years after burning in an SBSvk subzone site; to determine the relationship between actual fire effects (i.e., duff and woody fuel consumption and mineral soil exposure) and those predicted by the PFP; and to determine the relationship between predicted and actual duff moisture level when various conversion equations are used with the CFFWIS to predict duff moisture level.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The effects of clearcutting and slashburning on vegetation and soil composition and structure were monitored at permanent plots in the Prince George Forest District for up to 10 years post-burn. Changes in floristic composition, percent cover, and height were documented and described for each study area. At each site, standard fire weather stations were used to determine fire weather codes and indices and predict forest floor moisture content. Woody fuel loading and consumption and burn severity were determined using a line-intercept approach in standard fire effects assessment triangles and circular plots. Forest floor consumption, mineral soil exposure, and woody fuel consumption were compared to values predicted by the Prescribed Fire Predictor."--Document.
Download or read book Vegetation Response Fire Effects and Tree Growth After Slashburning in the Engleman Spruce subalpine Fir Zone written by Evelyn Hope Hamilton and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fire effects, and vegetation and seedling response to burning, were monitored for 10 years after slashburning on the Goat River site. A fire weather station and gravimetric sampling were used to determine fire weather codes and indices and forest floor moisture content. Fuel loading, fuel consumption, and burn severity were ascertained using fuel assessment triangles and permanent plots. Changes in floristic composition and structure (cover and height) were documented along with survival and growth of planted hybrid white spruce seedlings. This technical report presents the 10-year results for the Goat River study.--Document.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Long-term ecological data are critical for informing long-term trends in biodiversity and trends in environmental change. The Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) is a major initiative of the Australian Government and one of its key areas of investment is to provide funding for a network of long-term ecological research plots around Australia (LTERN). This book highlights some of the temporal changes in the environment and/or in biodiversity that have occurred in different ecosystems, ranging from tropical rainforests, wet eucalypt forests and alpine regions through to rangelands and deserts. Many important trends and changes are documented and they often provide new insights that were previously poorly understood or unknown. These data are precisely the kinds of data so desperately needed to better quantify the temporal trajectories in the environment and biodiversity in Australia.
