Uneven-Aged Forest Management: State Of The Art (Or Science?) Jan 1979

Uneven-Aged Forest Management: State Of The Art (Or Science?)

Forestry

Examines some important historical factors that have caused widespread preference of the even-aged management system over the uneven-aged. Major decisions facing forest managers interested in applying uneven-aged management are defined, and a review is made of techniques traditionally used, or recently proposed, for use in making these decisions. Finally, problem areas needing further research and development are identified.

Fire-Decay: Interactive Roles Regulating Wood Accumulation And Soil Development In The Northern Rocky Mountains, A. E. Harvey, M. J. Larsen, M. F. Jurgensen Jan 1979

Fire-Decay: Interactive Roles Regulating Wood Accumulation And Soil Development In The Northern Rocky Mountains, A. E. Harvey, M. J. Larsen, M. F. Jurgensen

Aspen Bibliography

Decay and fire play interactive roles in recycling wood and other organic materials in forest ecosystems, and contribute to the development of high quality soils in the Northern Rocky Mountains. Decayed wood, charcoal, and other decomposed organic matter are the principal media for ectomycorrhizal and nonsymbiotic nitrogen fixing microbes. The activities of these microbes are critical to the growth of forest trees. The balance between decay and fire, as it affects the amount, distribution, and type of organic matter, controls the ability of forest soils to support the growth of trees.

Metric Site Index Curves For Aspen, Birch And Conifers In The Lake States, P.R. Laidly Jan 1979

Metric Site Index Curves For Aspen, Birch And Conifers In The Lake States, P.R. Laidly

Aspen Bibliography

Site index is the measured or estimated height of dominant and codominant trees at age 50. It is widely used both as an indicator of potential site productivity and as the basis for silvicultural recommendations for Lake States timber species.


Wildlife Habitat Investigations And Management Implications On The Bridger-Teton National Forest, G.E. Gruell, M.S. Boyce, L.D. Hayden Wing Jan 1979

Wildlife Habitat Investigations And Management Implications On The Bridger-Teton National Forest, G.E. Gruell, M.S. Boyce, L.D. Hayden Wing

Aspen Bibliography

Grazing impact by elk and moose has been a point of concern in Jackson Hole for many years. Concern has been primarily directed towards sparsely vegetated south aspects, aspen stands, and willow bottoms. Numerous transects have quantified heavy foliage utilization. Trend studies have been mostly inconclusive. Study of historical narratives have quantified heavy forage utilization. Trend studies have been mostly inconclusive. Study of historical narratives, early photographs and consideration of plant physiology, soils data, and fire ecology have aided interpretations of vegetal trend and plant succession in recent years. Photographs show little change on sparsely vegetated sites. Soils information on …

Tree Rings And Kaibab North Deer Hunting Success, 1925-1975, C.E. Young

Aspen Bibliography

Knowledge of the biotic and abiotic factors producing long and short-term changes in numbers provides the basis for managing wildlife populations. Frequently, evaluation of these factors over a long time period is impossible. the large, well-documented past fluctuations of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) numbers on Arizona's North Kaibab plateau (Rasmussen, 1941; Russo, 1964; Caughley, 1970; Burk, 1973) make it potentially useful for examining long-term effects.
