Optimal Management of Naturally Regenerating Uneven-aged Forests
A shift from even-aged forest management to uneven-aged management practices leads to a problem rather different from the existing straightforward practice that follows a rotation cycle of artificial regeneration, thinning of inferior trees and a clearcut. A lack of realistic models and methods suggesting how to manage uneven-aged stands in a way that is economically viable and ecologically sus...
متن کاملAn Area-Based Matrix Model for Uneven-Aged Forests
In this paper a new concept for modeling uneven-aged forests (UEAF) is presented. The term UEAF in this article encloses all forests that deviate from the even-aged structure. The matrix model is area-based, in that the forest under study is described by a distribution of areas over fixed state-spaces spanned by stem number and volume per hectare classes. Dynamics is introduced as transitions o...
متن کاملPro-b Selection Method for Uneven-aged Management of Longleaf Pine Forests
Interest in uneven-aged silviculture has increased since advent of ecosystem management programs, which place greater emphasis on ecological values and ecosystem services while also harvesting timber from the forest. However, traditional uneven-aged approaches (e.g., BDq) are often criticized as too complex, costly, and requiring highly-trained staff. The ProportionalB method (Pro-B) addresses ...
متن کاملSustainable management of uneven-aged private forests: a case study from Ontario, Canada
A matrix growth model is estimated on the basis of growth data (growth period 5 years) of 14 measurement plots of uneven-aged white pine from southern Ontario. The impact of three economic factors specific to the private forests on the sustainable management of private woodlots is evaluated and discussed, and the trade-off between environmental and economic values is examined. These three econo...
متن کاملRegenerating uneven-aged stands of loblolly and shortleaf pines: the current state of knowledge
Periodic regeneration is crucial to creating or sustaining uneven-aged (UEA) stands of loblolly (Pinus tuedu L.) and shortleaf (p echinatu Mill.) pines. Although both species are shade intolerant, they have silvical characteristics that are conducive to natural regeneration in UEA stands. Their seed production is fairly consistent and good, and the wind-disseminated seeds are well dispersed thr...
