Chainsaws, Canebrakes, and Cotton Fields: Sober Thoughts on Silviculture for Songbirds in Bottomland Forests
Forested wetlands of the Mississippi Alluvial Valley (MAV) are the most productive of birds, including neotropical migratory birds, of all land uses there. Forest land uses are difficult to maintain in economic competition with annual crops. We compare perspectives of a bird biologist, a wildlife manager, a production forester, and an economic pragmatist to the issue: How can we manage bottomla...
متن کاملAssessment of Forest Insect Conditions at Opax Mountain Silviculture Trial
Forest management in British Columbia requires that all resource values are considered along with a variety of appropriate management practices. For the past 100 years, partial-cutting practices were the method of choice when harvesting in Interior Douglas-fir (IDF) zone ecosystems. Along with a highly effective fire suppression program and minimal stand tending, these practices have created ne...
متن کاملShort-term Effects of Silviculture on Breeding Birds in William B. Bankhead National Forest
We evaluated the changes in the bird community in relation to six disturbance treatments in the William B. Bankhead National Forest, AL. The study design is randomized complete block with a factorial arrangement of three thinning levels [no thin, 11 m2/ha residual basal area (BA), and 17 m2/ha residual BA] and two burn treatments (burn and no burn), with three replications. We collected data fr...
متن کاملEffect of clear-cutting silviculture on soil respiration in a subtropical forest of China
Aims: Clear-cutting is a common forest management practice, especially in subtropical China. However, the potential ecological consequences of clear-cutting remain unclear. In particular, the effect of clear-cutting on soil processes, such as the carbon cycle, has not been quantified in subtropical forests. Here, we investigated the response of soil respiration (Rs) to clear-cutting during a 12...
متن کاملThe Future of Silviculture Research-Thoughts from the Yale Forestry Forum
The 1999 Yale Forestry Forum, sponsored by Yale University and the USDA Forest Service, brought together a number of experts in an academic setting to discuss the future of silviculture research in the next century. Four participants in the plenary session outlined three areas that will characterize the future of silviculture research-sustainability, flexibility, and rigor. Sustainability inclu...
