Download or read book Novel Aerial Photography as an Aid to Sampling Secondary Structure in Pine Stands written by Patrick Anthony Teti and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project describes a new method for sampling secondary structure in beetle-attacked pine stands and reports on a test of its accuracy. The method consists of interpreting aerial photos taken when snow covers the forest floor and the sky is overcast. This report describes the results of a preliminary accuracy test of sampling secondary structure by interpreting aerial photos taken during winter overcast conditions. Overlapping sequential photos of previously selected plots were georeferenced, plot geometry was overlaid, photos were interpreted, and the accuracy of interpretation was determined by field checking the accuracy of tree classification was assessed by determining errors of omission and commission for each tree based on whether it was correctly defined as inside the plot and whether it was a green conifer. The accuracy of measuring crown diameters of green conifers was also assessed by direct comparison of field and photo measurements. The work includes information on materials and methods, results and discussion, the authors' conclusions, as well as recommendations.--Includes text from document.

Book Synopsis Mountain Pine Beetle by : Fred L. Bunnell
Download or read book Mountain Pine Beetle written by Fred L. Bunnell and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document provides a synthesis of recently completed studies to assess the ecological consequences of forest management after attack by mountain pine beetle or other large-scale disturbances. Studies are assessed for their contributions to gaps in knowledge previously identified in the Mountain Pine Beetle Initiative Working Paper "Evaluating effects of large scale salvage logging for mountain pine beetle on terrestrial and aquatic vertebrates," which was published in 2004. This report focuses on studies developed through the federal Mountain Pine Beetle Initiative, the federal Mountain Pine Beetle Program, and the complementary BC Forest Science Program. Relevant information from other jurisdictions is sometimes included to augment those studies. Topics examined are: the impacts of beetle kill and salvage operations on habitat attributes; the impacts of beetle kill and salvage operations on attendant processes, such as snag fall rates, light interception, and snow accumulation; and the wildlife response to large-scale beetle outbreaks and management strategies. For each of these three topics, we provide a summary of: research to date; pertinent findings to date; and gaps in research.

Book Synopsis Effects of Overstory Mortality on Snow Accumulation and Ablation by : Patrick Anthony Teti
Download or read book Effects of Overstory Mortality on Snow Accumulation and Ablation written by Patrick Anthony Teti and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resource managers and forest hydrologists face serious questions about the effects of widespread canopy mortality and accelerated salvage logging on streamflow from mountain pine beetle (MPB)-affected watersheds. This project has documented physical stand characteristics, snow accumulation, and snow ablation rates of growing managed stands and deteriorating natural stands in six groups of plots in British Columbia. One of the main objectives of this project is to provide modelling partners with data on the snow hydrology and physical characteristics of many stands at different stages of growth and deterioration. This will improve their ability to calibrate models to new watersheds and will improve the accuracy of the results.--Includes text from document.

Classical & bootstrap variance estimators are also discussed. Numerous problems with solutions are given, often based on the experiences of the authors. Key additional references are cited. Illustrated.

Book Synopsis Multi-Source National Forest Inventory by : Erkki Tomppo
Download or read book Multi-Source National Forest Inventory written by Erkki Tomppo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-09-25 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on more than a decade of innovative research into multi-source forest inventory (MS-NFI) this book presents full details of the development, outputs and applications of the improved k-NN method. The method, which was pioneered in Finland in 1990, is rapidly becoming a world standard in forest inventory, having been adopted as standard in Finland and Sweden, and recently introduced in Austria and across the US. The book describes in detail the full MS-NFI process, and the input data used – including field data, satellite images, and digital map data, as well as coarse-scale variation of forest variables. It also presents comprehensive information on the types of outputs which can be derived, including maps and statistics, describing, for example, stock volumes and development, dominant tree species, age-class distribution, and large and small-scale variation. The book will provide an invaluable resource for those involved in forest inventory, including government departments and bodies involved in forest policy, management and monitoring, forest managers, and researchers and graduate students interested in forest inventory, modelling and analysis. It will find an additional market among those interested in Earth observation, ecology and broader areas of environmental and natural resource management. Erkki Tomppo was the winner of the 1997 Marcus Wallenberg Prize for his work on the k-NN method.
Book Synopsis Biomass and Stem Volume Equations for Tree Species in Europe by : Dimitris Zianis
Download or read book Biomass and Stem Volume Equations for Tree Species in Europe written by Dimitris Zianis and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of stem volume and biomass equations for tree species growing in Europe is presented. The mathematical forms of the empirical models, the associated statistical parameters and information about the size of the trees and the country of origin were collated from scientific articles and from technical reports. The collected information provides a basic tool for estimation of carbon stocks and nutrient balance of forest ecosystems across Europe as well as for validation of theoretical models of biomass allocation.

Book Synopsis Introduction to Prescribed Fire in Southern Ecosystems by : Thomas A. Waldrop
Download or read book Introduction to Prescribed Fire in Southern Ecosystems written by Thomas A. Waldrop and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prescribed burning is an important tool throughout Southern forests, grasslands, and croplands. The need to control fire became evident to allow forests to regenerate. This manual is intended to help resource managers to plan and execute prescribed burns in Southern forests and grasslands. A new appreciation and interest has developed in recent years for using prescribed fire in grasslands, especially hardwood forests, and on steep mountain slopes. Proper planning and execution of prescribed fires are necessary to reduce detrimental effects, such as the impacts on air and downstream water quality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
