متن کاملSelection silvicultural systems in mountain caribou habitat: Logging and learning at Pinkerton Mountain
Experimentation with the selection silvicultural system in the Engelmann Spruce-Subalpine Fir (ESSF) Zone of east-central British Columbia began nearly ten years ago. The initial impetus for partial cutting came from concerns about specific nontimber resources, such as scenic values, water quality for domestic use, and habitat for mountain caribou (Rangifer tarandus). A set of first-generation ...
متن کاملImplementing Continuous Cover Forestry in Planted Forests: Experience with Sitka Spruce (Picea Sitchensis) in the British Isles
Planted forests of Sitka spruce, a non-native species from north-west America, are the major forest type in Great Britain and Ireland. Standard management involves even-aged stands, rotations of 40–50 years and a patch clear-felling system with artificial regeneration. However, forest policies support managing these forests for multifunctional objectives with increased diversity of species comp...

FIGURE 1. Aerial view of the Group Selection openings, Fleet Creek. Introduction Increasingly in British Columbia, forest managers are seeking to use a greater variety of silvicultural system options, and reduce reliance on clearcutting. In BC and the Pacific Northwest, the shift in forest practices in response to changing environmental and land use attitudes is well-documented (Kohm and Frankl...
متن کاملComparison of carbon balances between continuous-cover and clear-cut forestry in Sweden
Continuous-cover forestry (CCF) has been recognized for the production of multiple ecosystem services, and is seen as an alternative to clear-cut forestry (CF). Despite the increasing interest, it is still not well described how CCF would affect the carbon balance and the resulting climate benefit from the forest in relation to CF. This study compares carbon balances of CF and CCF, applied as t...
