Silviculture of Mixed-Species and Structurally Complex Boreal Stands

چکیده
Abstract Understanding structurally complex boreal stands is crucial for designing ecosystem management strategies that promote forest resilience under global change. However, current practices lead to the homogenization and simplification of structures in biome. In this chapter, we illustrate two options managing productive resilient forests: (1) two-aged mixed-species forests; (2) multi-aged, stands. Results demonstrate multi-aged mixed stand are powerful silvicultural tools forests

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...

• Extension • Research • Consulting • PHOTO 1. Boreal mixedwood stand where both aspen and white spruce are within the dominant and co-dominant crown classes. Mixed species stands provide options for creating a wide variety of future stand conditions. Forest managers are increasingly being asked to consider and apply a diversity of silviculture systems to address the variety of social, economic...
متن کاملFrom Observations to Evidence About Effects of Mixed-Species Stands
A critical understanding of the scientific evidence that we have about the effects of tree species diversity on ecosystem properties and processes is required to guide practical forest management as well as future research. However, current understanding is limited by the lack of an appropriate framework for evaluating the reported evidence. In this chapter we outline how research on mixed-spec...
متن کاملGrowth, Development and Yield in Pure and Mixed Forest Stands
Objective: Ecosystems with mixed species compared to the ones with pure compositions provide a broader range of options in the fields of biodiversity, conservation, protection and restoration. Nearly all forest plantations are established as monocultures, but research has shown that there are potential advantages to be gained by using carefully designed species mixtures in place of monocultures...
