Book Description
Regenerating British Columbia's Forests will assist those responsible for planning reforestation projects to reach informed decisions and will challenge them to consider primarily the biological factors basic to reforestation success rather than short-term costs and production technology. Although its main audience is practising foresters and forestry students of British Columbia, the text will be of considerable interest to foresters in other parts of Canada, the United States, and Europe who manage reforestation.

Book Description
Almost all harvested sites in the interior cedar hemlock (ICH) zone of British Columbia are currently planted, but natural regeneration can be a viable reforestation alternative in small patch cuts or where a partial canopy is retained. This report describes a project in which five small, variable-sized patch cuts in an ICH forest were studied to determine the effects of opening size, edge characteristics, and substrate quality on the distribution & composition of natural regeneration. Results are presented & discussed regarding regeneration at four years after harvest.

Book Description
Describes an assessment of artificial and natural regeneration carried out in 12 different locations in the montane coastal western hemlock and subalpine mountain hemlock forests of British Columbia. Survival, growth, and stem form of eight different species, three stock types, and two planting seasons were compared to the growth, stocking, and stem form of naturally regenerated species. The species used in the trials included fir, pine, cedar, and hemlock. A ranking procedure is used to rate the species' productivity, reliability, and feasibility in the two regions studied. An appropriate regeneration strategy is recommended, with certain species providing the basic silviculture resource and others being used to increase the stand value and crop reliability.

Book Description
This report on the state of British Columbia's forests is designed to inform both general and technical readers about British Columbia forests from a particular viewpoint, that of sustainability. The purpose of this report is two-fold: to provide information and links to enable readers to assess the province's progress in achieving sustainable forest management and to provide the Ministry of Forests and Range's assessment of that progress.--Document.
