Book Description
In August 20-23, 2004, a conference was held in Kamilche, WA, with the title S2Productivity of Western Forests: A Forest Products Focus. S3 The meeting brought together researchers and practitioners interested in discussing the economic and biological factors influencing wood production and value. One of the underlying assumptions of the meeting organizers was that management activities would be practiced within a framework of sustaining or improving site productivity; thus, several papers deal with methods to protect or improve productivity or discuss new studies designed to test the effects of various practices. This proceedings includes 11 papers based on oral presentations at the conference, 3 papers based on posters and 2 papers describing the Fall River and Matlock Long-Term Site Productivity study areas visited on the field tours. The papers cover subjects on forest harvesting activities, stand establishment, silviculture, site productivity, remote sensing, and wood product technologies.

Book Description
This handbook contains information on the effects of operational brushing treatments on conifers & plant communities in the Kamloops and Nelson forest regions of British Columbia. Data were collected over a nine-year period from 96 individual PROBE (PRotocol for Operational Brushing Evaluations) trials. The first three sections present an introduction to the PROBE program, its objectives, and the research methodology. Sections 4 to 11 contain detailed analyses for eight vegetation complexes (fireweed, fern, mixed shrub, ericaceous shrub & subalpine herb, dry alder, wet alder, aspen, and mixed broadleaf/shrub complex). Each of these sections contains an abstract, an introduction, site descriptions, results, discussion, conclusions, and management implications. The final section is an overall summary and management recommendation. Appendices include information about the willow and pinegrass complexes, a summary of results for unreplicated treatments involving those communities, and summary tables of information about PROBE sites that presently represent unreplicated treatment cells.
