Alternative Silvicultural Systems for Ontario's Boreal Mixedwoods
Author: Christopher Herbert Richard WedelesPublisher: Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. : Great Lakes Forestry Centre
ISBN:
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
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.
The Ecology and Silviculture of Mixed-Species Forests
Author: M.J. KeltyPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401580529
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Much of the world's forested land is dominated by mixed-species stands. Understanding the complex structure and dynamics of these mixtures is a necessary step in the process of formulating appropriate silvicultural systems for their management. David M. Smith, Professor Emeritus of Silviculture at Yale University, has devoted much of his career to the study of the structure, development, and silvicultural treatment of these kinds of stands. This volume is presented by Professor Smith's collegues to honor the contributions he has made to the field. It contains both reviews of past work and results of current studies of mixed stands: topics range from analysis of forest dynamics in unmanaged stands to studies of silvicultural systems applied to mixtures, with examples drawn from boreal, temperate, and tropical regions. Much of the work stresses the importance of understanding the characteristic growth patterns of individual species within mixed stands, and how species interactions shape developmental patterns.

A Review of the Long-term Effects of Post-harvest Silviculture on Vertebrate Wildlife, and Predictive Models with an Emphasis on Boreal Forests in Ontario, Canada

Book Description
This review paper is intended to provide background to understanding the possible effects, at the forest stand & landscape scales, of the cumulative impacts of applying basic silviculture & intensive forest management (IFM) over time on vertebrate animal diversity in Ontario boreal forests. About 50 papers that specifically reported testing the effects of basic silviculture or IFM were used for this review, which is organized by the vertebrate species groups for which effects were tested: birds, mammals, and amphibians. A second objective is to model the possible long-term effects of IFM for selected vertebrates. This was done based on the Ontario Strategic Forest Management Model and applied to a managed boreal forest unit near Kapuskasing. Model results are presented & discussed for three scenarios involving different combinations of natural regeneration, basic silviculture, and IFM following logging.
