Book Description
The vast temperate rainforests of coastal British Columbia are world renowned, but much less is known about the other rainforest located 500 kilometres inland along the western slopes of the interior mountains. The unique integration of continentality and humidity in this region favours the development of lush rainforest communities that incorporate both coastal and boreal elements. In British Columbia's Inland Rainforest, scientists bring together, for the first time, a broad spectrum of information about this distinctive ecosystem. They also consider the ecological consequences of human activities in the rainforest and present strategies for its management and conservation.

Book Description
This study examines factors affecting natural restocking of small openings created by partial harvesting of high elevation (> 1500 m) Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii Parry ex Engelm.)-subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa [Hook.] Nutt.) stands in east-central British Columbia, Canada. We examined the effects of opening size (0.03, 0.13, and 1.0 ha), seedbed, and seed supply on density of post-logging regeneration for 10 years post-harvest. The effect of opening size on growth release of advance regeneration was also examined. Both seed production and seedbed limited densities of post-logging seedlings. Densities of subalpine fir and Engelmann spruce post-logging regeneration remained low at two sites where seedfall was low. Seedbed scarification significantly increased seedling densities where seed rain was high. In the absence of scarification, abundant seed production had little effect on post-logging seedling densities. Increased height and basal diameter growth of advance regeneration following logging was greater on 1.0-ha than 0.13-ha and 0.03-ha openings. This study demonstrates that post-logging natural regeneration in combination with advance regeneration can restock small openings in partially harvested stands where there is an adequate distribution of mineral soil seedbed and logging or site preparation coincide with or shortly precede a year of abundant seed production.
