Silviculture in Red Alder Stands

In the past, there has been an emphasis on conifer tree species in forestry operations in British Columbia. As a result, there is a serious lack of information regarding disease and decay problems in most hardwood tree species. This presentation reports the results of recent studies on levels of decay in natural red alder stands, and on the formation of stain in harvested alder logs. Disease pr...

Landscape Silviculture for Late- Successional Reserve Management

The effects of different combinations of multiple, variable-intensity silvicultural treatments on fire and habitat management objectives were evaluated for a ±6,000 ha forest reserve using simulation models and optimization techniques. Our methods help identify areas within the reserve where opportunities exist to minimize conflict between the dual landscape objectives. Results suggest that mos...

Multiaged Silviculture of Ponderosa Pine

Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa P. & C. Lawson) is highly suitable for management using multiaged systems. This suitability is primarily the result of a frequent, low severity disturbance regime, but also because it naturally occurs at low densities and has a long history of management to promote multiple age classes. Several different stocking control tools are available for ponderosa pine inc...

"Smart", Vernetzung und Komplexität - Ein Plädoyer für einen kritischeren Umgang mit dem Thema Vernetzung
