Download or read book Guidelines for Developing Stand Density Management Regimes written by British Columbia. Forest Practices Branch and published by British Columbia, Forest Practices Branch. This book was released on 1999 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stand density management is the process of controlling tree density within a stand to achieve desired objectives. Stand density management practices include the spacing of planted trees, pre-commercial thinning, and commercial thinning. A sound density management prescription must consider three elements of prediction: biological responses of the stand to treatment, economic implications of the treatment, and forest-level effects of the treatment. This document provides essential information on each of these elements, and provides a structured decision process for making site-specific density management prescriptions. Sections of the document cover the biological concepts of timber production, economic principles of timber production, forest planning considerations, the decision process, and density management planning tools. Includes glossary.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Density manipulation is one of the most powerful tools available to silviculturists to achieve a broad range of silvicultural objectives. One of the most effective methods of planning density management in even-aged stands is through the use of stand density management diagrams. These diagrams graphically depict the temporal relationships between stand density, top height, quadratic mean diameter and mean tree volume. They allow the user to develop and project crop plans through time, to determine the optimum timing of thinnings, to determine the operational feasibility of thinnings, and to contrast potential outcomes from a number of stand management regimes. The stand density management diagrams for lodgepole pine, white spruce and interior Douglas-fir in this report were derived from managed stand yield tables produced by TASS, an individual tree, distance-dependent growth model. The report describes their use in planning thinning regimes and making preliminary yield estimations.

Download or read book Forecasting Forest Futures written by Kim Scoullar and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2010-09-23 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modelling is an important tool for understanding the complexity of forest ecosystems and the variety of interactions of ecosystem components, processes and values. This book describes the hybrid approach to modelling forest ecosystems and their possible response to natural and management-induced disturbance. The book describes the FORECAST family of ecosystem management models at three different spatial scales (tree, stand and landscape), and compares them with alternative models at these three spatial scales. The book will help forest managers to understand what to expect from ecosystem-based forest models; serve as a tool for use in teaching about sustainability, scenario analysis and value trade-offs in natural resources management; and assist policy makers, managers and researches working in assessment of sustainable forest management and ecosystem management. Several real-life examples of using the FORECAST family of models in forest management and other applications are presented from countries including Canada, China, Spain and the USA, to illustrate the concepts described in the text. The book also demonstrates how these models can be extended for scenario and value trade-off analysis through visualization and educational or management games.

Download or read book Guidelines for Applying Protected Area Management Categories written by Nigel Dudley and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2008 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IUCN's Protected Areas Management Categories, which classify protected areas according to their management objectives, are today accepted as the benchmark for defining, recording, and classifying protected areas. They are recognized by international bodies such as the United Nations as well as many national governments. As a result, they are increasingly being incorporated into government legislation. These guidelines provide as much clarity as possible regarding the meaning and application of the Categories. They describe the definition of the Categories and discuss application in particular biomes and management approaches.
