Book Synopsis Developing Sustainable Mixedwood Practices in a Stand-level Adaptive Management (SLAM) Framework by : G. Blake MacDonald
Download or read book Developing Sustainable Mixedwood Practices in a Stand-level Adaptive Management (SLAM) Framework written by G. Blake MacDonald and published by Sault Ste. Marie : Ontario Forest Research Institute. This book was released on 2003 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a project to advance knowledge of boreal mixedwood management by testing techniques for achieving productive mixtures of conifers & hardwoods at operational scales. The project is applying treatments in aspen-dominated boreal mixedwood stands at two sites in north-east Ontario. Contrasting approaches are being compared (blended mixtures versus mosaics, partial cutting versus herbicide application, shade-tolerant versus shade-intolerant conifer regeneration) to help identify best practices. Treatment effectiveness is to be assessed by measuring regeneration growth, vegetation succession, soil nutrient dynamics, and changes in invertebrate populations. The report includes information on the site characteristics, treatments, pre- & post-harvest measurement methods, data analysis, knowledge transfer from the project, and project challenges & prospects.
Book Synopsis Harvesting Boreal Mixedwood Stands to Favour Conifer Regeneration by : G. Blake MacDonald
Download or read book Harvesting Boreal Mixedwood Stands to Favour Conifer Regeneration written by G. Blake MacDonald and published by Sault Ste. Marie : Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. This book was released on 2000 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boreal mixedwood sites, an ecologically & economically valuable component of Ontario's forested landscape, are typically dominated by hardwoods soon after major disturbances such as clear-cutting. Alternative harvesting methods may help reduce the level of competition in the regeneration environment and enrich the conifer content. This report describes field trials in northern Ontario that tested approaches for maintaining or increasing the conifer component in hardwood-dominated stands. The report explains the context & rationale for the trials; documents the locations, designs, layouts, & methods to facilitate reassessment over the long term; and presents responses observed during the first three years of treatment.
Book Synopsis Ecology of a Managed Terrestrial Landscape by : Ajith H. Perera
Download or read book Ecology of a Managed Terrestrial Landscape written by Ajith H. Perera and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing popularity of the broad, landscape-scale approach to forest management represents a dramatic shift from the traditional, stand-based focus on timber production. Ecology of a Managed Terrestrial Landscape responds to the increasing need of forest policy developers, planners, and managers for an integrated, comprehensive perspective on ecological landscapes. The book examines the "big picture" of ecological patterns and processes through a case study of the vast managed forest region in Ontario. The contributors synthesize current landscape ecological knowledge of this area and look at gaps and future research directions from several points of view: spatial patterns, ecological functions and processes, natural disturbances, and ecological responses to disturbance. They also discuss the integration of landscape ecological knowledge into policies of forest management policies, particularly with respect to Ontario's legislative goals of forest sustainability. Ecology of a Managed Terrestrial Landscape is the first book to describe the landscape ecology of a continuously forested landscape in a comprehensive manner. It is written for instructors and students in forest management, wildlife ecology, and landscape ecology, and for forest managers, planners, and policy developers in North America.

Book Synopsis Alternative Silvicultural Systems for Ontario's Boreal Mixedwoods by : Christopher Herbert Richard Wedeles
Download or read book Alternative Silvicultural Systems for Ontario's Boreal Mixedwoods written by Christopher Herbert Richard Wedeles and published by Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. : Great Lakes Forestry Centre. This book was released on 1995 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summarises the potential use of alternative silvicultural (harvesting) systems on the productivity of boreal mixedwood forests. Begins with an overview of the ecology of boreal mixedwoods, including physical environment, stand dynamics, and landscape ecology; then provides detailed reviews of modified clear-cutting systems (including strip cutting, patch cutting, and seed-tree cutting), shelterwood systems, and selection systems (including group selection and individual tree selection). Also briefly discusses the environmental considerations that are associated with these systems (effects on soil, water resources, wildlife, and aesthetics). Concludes with a discussion of areas of uncertainty in the application of alternative systems and the perceived problems that have limited their use in boreal mixedwoods.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptive management is a formal process for continually improving management policies and practices by learning from their outcomes. The objective of this paper is to outline the basic concepts of adaptive management, provide examples of successful adaptive management initiatives, and evaluate the potential of adaptive management for improving forest policies and practices in Ontario. Information for the paper was collected from on-line literature searches, literature reviews, and interviews with experts. Case studies from the literature are presented from the perspective of broad program issues and address common North American forest sector issues. They illustrate public, industrial, and hybrid approaches to adaptive management that provide relevant experience and success factors that will be instructive for implementing similar programs in Ontario.
Book Synopsis Emulating Natural Forest Landscape Disturbances by : Ajith H. Perera
Download or read book Emulating Natural Forest Landscape Disturbances written by Ajith H. Perera and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive collection of provocative papers provides a scientific foundation for justifying the use of and a solid framework for examining the ambiguities inherent in emulating natural forest landscape disturbance. Contributors range from policymakers and forestry professionals to academics and conservationists, offering a balanced view of the promises and challenges of the forest management paradigm in sustaining forest landscapes. The book opens with an overview of foundational concepts, a detailed discussion of emerging forest management paradigms and their global context, and an examination of the ecological premise for emulating natural disturbance. This section also explores the current understanding of natural disturbance regimes, including the two most prevalent in North America: fire and insects. The volume then uses several geographically diverse case studies to address the characterization of natural disturbances and the development of applied templates for their emulation through forest management. The emphasis on fire regimes reflects the greater focus that has traditionally been placed on understanding and managing fire, compared with other forms of disturbance, and utilizes several viewpoints to address the lessons learned from historical disturbance patterns. Reflecting current developments in the field, immediate challenges, and potential directions, this collection concludes with a penetrating look at practical applications, exploring the expectations for and feasibility of emulating natural disturbance through forest management.
