Part 4: Forest Succession
The ecosystems within the area that burned in the Hayman Fire have a long history of fire (see part 1 of this chapter). It follows, therefore, that all of the native species and populations in this area probably have one or more mechanisms for enduring fire or becoming reestablished after fire and that no native species is likely to become extinct as a result of the direct effects of the Hayman...
متن کاملIndividual-based simulation models for forest succession and management
Individual-based forest models simulate forest dynamics on the basis of establishment, growth and death of individual trees. This paper attempts to review and compare two major types of individual-based forest models: growth-yield and gap models. Although the two types of models share some similar features, they differ in model structure and data requirements and play several complementary role...
متن کاملSpecies Diversity of Trees and Forest Floor Plants in Oriental beech Forest Types of Shastkalate Educational and Research Forest, Gorgan)
Trees are the most important biological elements of forest ecosystems. The variability of the tree species composition inhabiting in the Oriental beech forest, not only forms different forest types but also has a remarkable impact on the species diversity of forest floor plants, due to the existence of trees in the overstory layer. In this research, forest types of an an Oriental beech were ide...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal dynamics of simulated wildfire, forest management, and forest succession in central Oregon, USA
We use the simulation model Envision to analyze long-term wildfire dynamics and the effects of different fuel management scenarios in central Oregon, USA. We simulated a 50-year future where fuel management activities were increased by doubling and tripling the current area treated while retaining existing treatment strategies in terms of spatial distribution and treatment type. We modeled fore...
متن کاملSpecies Richness and Productive Forest Management 1
There are many reasons to preserve the biological diversity of the earth, and perhaps the most compelling is the insurance that it provides for the uncertain times ahead. The responsibility for maintaining this biodiversity falls particularly heavily on the custodians of the tropical forests, where species richness is highest. How can these forests provide for the immediate needs of local inhab...
