This book was released on 1985 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surface erosion and mass wasting in forested watersheds can increase significantly following road development and logging. This is particularly true on steep forested slopes that receive a great deal of precipitation, such as those on the Queen Charlotte Islands. Through proper planning and the use of high construction standards, many of these problems can be alleviated, but not completely controlled. In addition, unforeseen problems that result in accelerated surface erosion and mass wasting may arise. For these reasons, the forest manager must have a variety of measures to either control erosion or lessen its impacts. This report reviews both prevention and rehabilitation techniques that may be of use in controlling erosion and/or alleviating further erosion damage on the Queen Charlotte Islands. To date, little erosion control or land rehabilitation work has been carried out on forested land on the Charlottes, and it is hoped that this report may provide the basis for future activities in this field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sitka spruce, the largest of the world's spruces, is an important component of British Columbia's coastal forests. Its ecology gives it a special place in the sustainable management of the province's forests. However, in west coast forestry it is poorly known in comparison with its main coniferous companions -- Douglas-fir, western redcedar, and western hemlock. As an important international forestry resource, it is crucial that Sitka spruce -- its ecology and the ecosystems in which it occurs -- be clearly understood by those who are involved with its management.

Download or read book Forest Soil Rehabilitation in British Columbia written by Charles Ernest Bulmer and published by University of British Columbia Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes issues and problems in forest soil rehabilitation in British Columbia, presenting an up-to-date review of the scientific literature and the activities of rehabilitation specialists and practitioners working for the forest industry and government. The focus is on techniques for restoring soil productivity, with the implied objective of re-establishing a productive forest ecosystem on a site that has suffered degradation. The first two sections of the report provide an overview of soil rehabilitation in the province and review the productivity of degraded and rehabilitated forest soils. This is followed by a section on soil physical process and nutrient cycling, describing how an understanding of growth-limiting conditions can guide practitioners to strategies for effective and cost-efficient rehabilitation. The next section reviews rehabilitation techniques, including tillage, topsoil conservation and replacement, reforestation and revegetation methods, and soil amelioration using fertilizers, amendments, and mulches. Finally, information gaps and research needs are identified.
