Book Synopsis Ninety-two Years of Tree Growth and Death in a Second-growth Coast Redwood Forest by : Benjamin Iberle
Download or read book Ninety-two Years of Tree Growth and Death in a Second-growth Coast Redwood Forest written by Benjamin Iberle and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mature second-growth coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) forests are an important and uncommon resource in the redwood region. Development of second-growth redwood forests beyond rotation age (~50 years) is not well understood. Continuous long-term data are especially lacking, considering that the maximum possible age of second-growth stands is now over 150 years. Two permanent observation plots in Arcata, CA, established in 1923 by Woodbridge Metcalf and last measured in 1990, provide a unique opportunity to examine the development of coast redwood forest regenerating after logging in ~1880. We surveyed the Metcalf plots using modern methods and assembled a complete dataset from 1923 to 2015. We also built new allometric models for second-growth coast redwood to predict tree-level quantities such as total biomass and leaf area from ground-based measurements. The Metcalf plots nearly doubled in total basal area over the study period, reaching 124 and 143 m2 ha-1, and redwood increased in proportional dominance as the non-redwood species steadily declined in number. These results, along with substantial density-independent mortality, suggest a transition to a maturation stage of forest development at ~83 years since logging. In the most recent surveys (~135 years since logging), the leaf area index values of trees alone for the Metcalf plots (9.8 and 12.7) are similar to nearby old-growth forests (11.6-15.9). Our results from relatively unmanaged conditions can be compared to silvicultural treatments of regenerating coast redwood forest meant to accelerate development of old-growth characteristics, especially as treated stands move beyond rotation age.
Book Synopsis Converting Coast Redwood/Douglas-fir Forests to Multiaged Management by : Robert T. Muma
Download or read book Converting Coast Redwood/Douglas-fir Forests to Multiaged Management written by Robert T. Muma and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is increased interest in multiaged management as a silvicultural and restoration tool in redwood forests of California. The effect of varying residual densities and spatial arrangements on residual stand damage, tree growth and regeneration was studied in a multicohort silviculture experiment on Jackson Demonstration State Forest. Four treatments varying in residual stand density or spatial arrangement were replicated at four sites. The experiment provided 4-year periodic growth measurements of residual trees and annual measurements of redwood and tanoak sprout height increments. Residual trees were more likely to sustain bole scarring when retained at higher densities. Crown damage was more likely to be sustained by smaller trees. From 2-6 years after partial harvesting, redwood trees grew faster than Douglas-fir or tanoak following harvest. The height increment of dominant redwood stump sprouts was much greater than dominant tanoak sprouts across all treatments and the growth of both species was directly correlated to understory light. No differences were detected for any dependent variables between dispersed and aggregated retention. No differences in sprout growth were detected when retaining a residual tree on the same root system as sprouting redwood stumps when compared against sprouts growing on a root system after all redwood stems were cut. Overall, these results suggest that managers have flexibility to manage multiaged redwood stands at different densities, and that retention of low densities of large trees will provide a good balance between overstory tree growth and understory development in multiaged stands while reducing incidences of residual stand damage.

Book Synopsis Multiaged Silviculture by : Kevin Laughlin O'Hara
Download or read book Multiaged Silviculture written by Kevin Laughlin O'Hara and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2014 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the latest scientific and management information on multiaged silviculture, an emerging strategy for managing forestry systems worldwide. Over recent decades, forest science and management have tended to emphasize plantation silviculture. Whilst this clearly meets our wood production needs, many of the world's forests need to be managed far less intensively and more flexibly in order to maintain their natural ecosystem functions together with the values inherent in those processes. Developing multiaged management strategies for these complex forest ecosystems represents a global challenge to successfully integrate available science with sustainable management practices. Multiaged Silviculture covers the ecology and dynamics of multiaged stands, the management operations associated with regeneration, tending, and stocking control, and the implications of this strategy on production, genetic diversity, and stand health. It is primarily aimed at graduate level students and researchers in the fields of forestry and silviculture, but will also be of relevance and use to all professional foresters and silviculturists.

Book Synopsis The Redwood Forest by : Save-the-Redwoods League
Download or read book The Redwood Forest written by Save-the-Redwoods League and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence is mounting that redwood forests, like many other ecosystems, cannot survive as small, isolated fragments in human-altered landscapes. Such fragments lose their diversity over time and, in the case of redwoods, may even lose the ability to grow new, giant trees. The Redwood Forest, written in support of Save-the-Redwood League's master plan, provides scientific guidance for saving the redwood forest by bringing together in a single volume the latest insights from conservation biology along with new information from data-gathering techniques such as GIS and remote sensing. It presents the most current findings on the geologic and cultural history, natural history, ecology, management, and conservation of the flora and fauna of the redwood ecosystem. Leading experts -- including Todd Dawson, Bill Libby, John Sawyer, Steve Sillett, Dale Thornburgh, Hartwell Welch, and many others -- offer a comprehensive account of the redwoods ecosystem, with specific chapters examining: the history of the redwood lineage, from the Triassic Period to the present, along with the recent history of redwoods conservation life history, architecture, genetics, environmental relations, and disturbance regimes of redwoods terrestrial flora and fauna, communities, and ecosystems aquatic ecosystems landscape-scale conservation planning management alternatives relating to forestry, restoration, and recreation. The Redwood Forest offers a case study for ecosystem-level conservation and gives conservation organizations the information, technical tools, and broad perspective they need to evaluate redwood sites and landscapes for conservation. It contains the latest information from ground-breaking research on such topics as redwood canopy communities, the role of fog in sustaining redwood forests, and the function of redwood burls. It also presents sobering lessons from current research on the effects of forestry activities on the sensitive faunas of redwood forests and streams. The key to perpetuating the redwood forest is understanding how it functions; this book represents an important step in establishing such an understanding. It presents a significant body of knowledge in a single volume, and will be a vital resource for conservation scientists, land use planners, policymakers, and anyone involved with conservation of redwoods and other forests.
