Download or read book Woody Debris and Wildlife Trees in Aspen and Mixed wood Forests of Northeastern British Columbia written by Eric Todd Manning and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a study conducted in the Dawson Creek Forest District of British Columbia to determine the use & availability of wildlife trees and coarse woody debris in a mixedwood forest. Wildlife trees were sampled in plots located in mature aspen stands, new-cut aspen cutblocks, regenerating aspen stands, mature mixedwood stands, natural & man-made edges in mature aspen forest, and retention patches in harvested cutblocks. Woody debris was sampled in mature aspen and mature mixedwood stands. Plots were also established around active woodpecker nest trees for comparative analysis with random sampling plots. To provide forest management recommendations, analysis was conducted on various tree characteristics among random, wildlife, and nest trees. Small mammal use of coarse woody debris was also studied. The report concludes with suggested guidelines for managing wildlife trees and coarse woody debris in mixedwood and aspen-dominated stands in north-east British Columbia.

Download or read book British Columbia s Inland Rainforest written by Susan K. Stevenson and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast temperate rainforests of coastal British Columbia are world renowned, but much less is known about the other rainforest located 500 kilometres inland along the western slopes of the interior mountains. The unique integration of continentality and humidity in this region favours the development of lush rainforest communities that incorporate both coastal and boreal elements. This book brings together, for the first time, a broad spectrum of information about the ecology, management, and conservation of this distinctive ecosystem. Accessibly written and generously illustrated, the chapters examine the physical, social, economic, and ecological dimensions of the rainforest. They also look at how the delicate balance of this ecosystem has been threatened by human use and climate change. In the past, governments encouraged the forest industry to clearcut the “decadent” old stands and replace them with rapidly growing young trees of other species. More recently, out of concern for the ecological consequences of such practices, researchers have begun to examine alternative management strategies. This book offers a vision that combines various strategies in order to balance the conservation of the inland rainforest as a fully functioning ecosystem with human use of its diverse resources.

Download or read book Types of Wildlife Trees and Coarse Woody Debris Required by Wildlife of North central British Columbia written by Dagmar Gabriele Keisker and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If wildlife diversity is to be maintained in managed forests, the habitat needs of all wildlife species must be met. This report provides some of the necessary information by describing the habitat requirements of 133 vertebrate species of north-central British Columbia in relation to two special habitat elements: wildlife trees and coarse woody debris. To make it easier for habitat managers to apply this information, requirements were condensed into a series of habitat summary tables. The tables, which are based mainly on published research reviewed up to 1995, describe in detail the varieties of wildlife trees and coarse woody debris that are required by wildlife.

Download or read book Compatible Forest Management written by Robert A. Monserud and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public debate has stimulated interest in finding greater compatibility among forest management regimes. The debate has often portrayed management choices as tradeoffs between biophysical and socioeconomic components of ecosystems. Here we focus on specific management strategies and emphasize broad goals such as biodiversity, wood production and habitat conservation while maintaining other values from forestlands desired by the public. We examine the following proposition: Commodity production (timber, nontimber forest products) and the other forest values (biodiversity, fish and wildlife habitat) can be simultaneously produced from the same area in a socially acceptable manner. Based on recent research in the Pacific Northwest, we show there are alternatives for managing forest ecosystems that avoid the divisive arena of 'either-or' choices. Much of the work discussed in this book addresses two aspects of the compatibility issue. First, how are various forest management practices related to an array of associated goods and services? Second, how do different approaches to forest management affect relatively large and complex ecosystems?

Download or read book Managing Your Woodland written by Small Woodlands Program of BC. and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication, written for non-foresters, is a guide for the management of small woodlands in British Columbia for a range of social, economic, & environmental values. It provides an overview of the steps involved in the practice of forestry, the types of decisions that need to be made, the kinds of work to be done, and where help can be obtained. Each chapter covers a management phase in woodland management, primarily for timber production but with consideration to the safeguarding or enhancement of other resource values. Topics of chapters include forestry basics, forest inventory, management planning, stand management (silvicultural systems, commercial thinning), multi-use forestry (agroforestry), forest access (woodland roads), harvesting, marketing timber & non-timber products, reforestation, stand tending, forest protection, business planning, forest legislation, and information resources.

Their preservation is an essential component of maintaining the biodiversity of our forests and their protection is mandated under British Columbia's new Forest and Range Practices Act, enacted in 2004. This book explains what wildlife trees are and how they are used by 66 species of birds and mammals resident in British Columbia. It is designed for anyone with a professional or avocational interest in BC forests, from foresters and government planners to naturalists and woodlot owners to public policy advocates.

Download or read book Green up Guidebook written by BC Environment and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Forest Practices Code of British Columbia sets out new requirements for ensuring that previously harvested areas contiguous to proposed cutblocks are greened-up before those proposed cutblocks are harvested. The requirement is a means of controlling the removal of a stand until adjacent harvested cutblocks have begun to develop management attributes, with the objective of moderating the effect of additional harvesting in the area. This guide begins by noting where green-up requirements are applicable, then describes the basic requirements for greened-up blocks, the allowable variances from basic requirements, and the approval process to be followed to verify that green-up standards have been met. Includes glossary.

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.

Download or read book Guidelines for Maintaining Biodiversity During Juvenile Spacing written by Andy Park and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The forests of British Columbia are home to a variety of plant and animal life that is unequalled elsewhere in Canada. To conserve the full variety of these plants and animals, their habitats in the forest must be considered during silvicultural operations such as juvenile spacing. These guidelines describe the mandate for biological diversity, levels of forestry management, designing and executing spacing contracts to maintain stand level biodiversity, and example contract clauses.
