Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planted ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws. var. ponderosa) seedlings in young plantations in California are at a disadvantage compared with competing shrubs, forbs, and grasses. In many instances, roots of competing plants begin expanding and exploiting the soil earlier and in greater numbers, thereby capturing the majority of available resources and lowering pine survival and growth. Competition thresholds or "how much is too much?" are: for treatments where a cleared radius is prescribed, no weeds are acceptable within the space needed for maximum growth of pine seedlings during the establishment period; for treatments involving the entire area, crown cover values of 10 to 30 percent seem to be the level beyond which shrub competition significantly affects pine growth. Methods for preparing the site, which include mechanical and chemical methods, use of fire, and combinations of treatments, show the interaction of site and ensuing vegetation. Techniques for controlling competing vegetation from seed include preventing such plants from getting started by use of preemergent herbicides or mats (collars). To prevent sprouting, hardwood trees and large shrubs can be pushed over, thereby getting the root crown out of the ground, or if still in the soil, grinding it out with a machine. Once present, the effect of weeds from seed can be minimized by grubbing or spraying when young, by grazing plants with cattle or sheep, or by introducing plants of low competitive ability. Once sprouting weeds are present, their effect can be minimized by spraying with chemicals, or if palatable, by grazing with cattle or sheep. Costs range from as low as $10 per acre ($25/ha) for aerially applying herbicides to $711 per acre ($1757/ha) for grinding out tanoak stumps.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foresters often need information on the cost effectiveness of manual and chemical release treatments for individual and combined species in young mixed-shrub communities. A study in northern Califomia evaluated five manual and chemical treatments and their effect on several shrubs and grasses. Treatments were grubbing at age 1 to 2- and 4 ft (0.6- and 1.2-m) radii, regrubbing and expanding the 2-ft radii to 4 ft, regrubbing and expanding the 4-ft radii to 6 A (1.8 m) at age 4, and applying Velpar herbicide to the entire plot at age 2. Five years after initial manual release and 4 years after chemical release, ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws. var. ponderosa) stem caliper at 12 in. (30 cm) above mean ground line differed significantly between Velpar and the untreated control, 2-ft radius, 4-ft radius, and 2-ft radius expanded to 4 ft. Expanding the radius from 4 to 6 feet provided a pine stem caliper that differed significantly from that in the control, and the 2-ft and 4-ft radii treatments. Additional analyses with ponderosa pine seedling height also indicated significant differences among treatmenu that were generally similar to those above. Differences among the six treatments, which are presented in 15 comparisons of stem caliper and treatment production rates, provide forest managers with growth and cost comparisons, and should aid them in selecting the release treatment best suited to their particular situation.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the southwestern U.S., the combination of a changing climate and past forest management practices has resulted in forests that are experiencing larger and more intense wildfires which are expected to continue indefinitely. During recovery from these catastrophic fires, forest managers struggle to reestablish lost stands due to low seedling survival rates. A tool used by nursery managers and foresters to maximize seedling success is the Target Plant Concept (TPC). The TPC is a collaborative framework which utilizes eight elements to ensure seedlings have the best fitness for purpose at a given site. This study examines treatments related to two elements of the TPC, genetics and mitigation via site preparation, and evaluates their effectiveness in terms of seedling survival and growth rates. The study was designed to simultaneously test both factors by utilizing a split-plot design, with the site preparation factor being the whole-plot treatment and the genetic factor being the sub-plot treatment. In 2016, three years post-fire, a ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Douglas ex C. Lawson) site was selected within the severely burned portion of the Thompson Ridge fire scar at Valles Caldera National Preserve near Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA. To implement the site preparation treatment, half of each whole-plot was treated by deliberately placing the felled logs along a west to east orientation, south of, and adjacent to, the seedling planting locations. To test genetic influence, the subplots were then planted with ponderosa pine seedlings from one of six different seed sources, which were selected from three different latitudes. For three consecutive seasons, seedlings were monitored annually for survival, height growth, and radial growth. Additionally, root:shoot biomass ratios and plant moisture stress levels were evaluated to assess physiological plant responses. Results indicate that survival, height, and diameter of seedlings were not consistently affected by either the shelter-log or seed source treatment. The shelter-log treatment improved growth rates initially, but this effect had diminished by season 3. The use of southern seed sources generally improved growth rates throughout the study. Because the more southern seed sources have yet to experience reduced survival on the site, and have experienced sustained improved growth rates, forest managers restoring fire damaged stands in the southwestern U.S. may wish to utilize seed sources from further south in anticipation of climate change.
