Download or read book Silvicultural Alternatives for the Management of Unstable Sites in the Queen Charlotte Islands written by Peter Richard William Sanders and published by BC, Ministry of Forests. This book was released on 1986 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest cover plays an important role in modifying the severity and frequency of natural soil mass wasting. Removal of the forest cover through forest harvesting and the associated engineering operations can alter natural processes and aggravate inherent instability. In the Queen Charlotte Islands, steep slopes, finely textured soils, frequent seismic activity, heavy precipitation, shallow rooting tree species, and high winds predispose the area to a high natural level of mass wasting. This preliminary appraisal reviews current silvicultural operations in the Islands and proposes alternatives. Traditional silvicultural systems are described and constraints imposed by the local conditions identified. Naturally occurring forests on the Queen Charlotte Islands are compared to projected managed forests that will replace them, and successional processes and their influence on mass wasting events are discussed. The report concludes by noting several research opportunities in the study of silviculture and mass wasting.
Download or read book Ecology and Management of Sitka Spruce written by N. Merle Peterson and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 360 pages. 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.
