YIELDS OF ANNUAL FORAGES UNDER THREE HARVEST MODES

Yields, Quality and Suitability of Four Annual Forages for Deer Pasture in North Central Alberta

Field pea (Pisum sativum), canola (Brassica napus), turnips (Brassica rapa) and Berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrinum) were grown in north central Alberta to assess their potential yield and quality and to evaluate their utilization and preference by white-tailed deer. Herbage DM yield, crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), absolute and relative herbage utilization, and dietary pr...

Finding Efficient Harvest Schedules under Three Conflicting Objectives

Public forests have many conflicting uses. Designing forest management schemes that provide the public with an optimal bundle of benefits is therefore a major challenge. Although a capability to quantify and visualize the tradeoffs between the competing objectives can be very useful for decisionmakers, developing this capability presents unique difficulties if three or more conflicting objectiv...

Statewide Implications: 4 Million Cord Annual Harvest

This section of the study describes the modelling assumptions used and the outputs from the lowest level of harvesting modelled, termed the base level of harvest. The section is intended to provide an understanding of what was harvested and why; what effects this had on the forests and their associated resources and values as defined in the FSD issues of concern; what mitigations should be used...

Statewide Implications: 7 Million Cord Annual Harvest

This section of the study describes the modelling assumptions used, and the outputs from the highest level of harvesting modelled which is termed the high level of harvest. This scenario was developed specifically in response to the FSD requirement to assess the consequences of a level of harvest that approximated the estimated maximum annual volume of timber production. This level was intended...
