Resource Use In The Trinational Sangha River Region Of Equatorial Africa: Histories, Knowledge Forms, And Institutions, Heather E. Eves, Rebecca Hardin, Stephanie Rupp

Yale School of the Environment Bulletin Series

This volume is based on an international conference, “Natural Resource Use Relations in the Trinational Sangha River Region of the Northwest Congo Basin,” held at Yale University in September 1997. In recognition of the bilingual context in which conservation occurs in the three countries of the Sangha region — Cameroon, Central African Republic, and Congo — all sessions of the conference were conducted simultaneously in French and English. This publication, which is a complete rendering of the conference papers and discussion sessions, is available in its entirety in both French and English.

Forest Stand Dynamics, Update Edition, Chadwick Dearing Oliver, Bruce A. Larson

Yale School of the Environment Other Publications

This book describes the various growth patterns of forests from a mechanistic point of view. Its purpose is to help silviculturists, forest managers, and ecologists understand and anticipate how forests grow and respond to intentional manipulations and natural disturbances. Demands on the forest have been increasing for timber production, wildlife habitat, water protection, recreation, and protection from fires, insects, and diseases. These demands have created an emphasis on prescribing site-specific treatments for individual stands of trees, rather than treating broad areas uniformly

The European Pine Shoot Moth (Rhyacionia Buoliana Schiff.): With Special Reference To Its Occurrence In The Eli Whitney Forest, Roger B. Friend, Allen S. West Jr

Yale School of the Environment Bulletin Series

The European pine shoot moth has been recognized as a pest .in Europe for over a century. It was first discovered in the United States in 1914, since when it has become a serious enemy of red pine. The insect is becoming increasingly abundant in this country and is known to be present in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, possibly Florida, and in the provinces of Ontario and British .Columbia in Canada. Some fifteen species of pines susceptible to injury in varying degree have been reported as hosts .of this insect, …

The Transportation Of Wood In Chutes, Alexander M. Koroleff, Ralph Clement Bryant

Yale School of the Environment Bulletin Series

Artificial channels, known as chutes, in which logs and bolts may be transported down steep slopes by means of gravity, were devised several centuries ago in the mountainous regions of Europe and later were used by north American loggers, especially in New England, New York, and Pennsylvania. They operate most advantageously on grades that are far in excess of those on which wheeled vehicles or sleds can be used safely, and they are most serviceable for moving timber on terrain which is so steep or broken that the construction cost of suitable roads is prohibitive.

The Eli Whitney Forest: A Demonstration Of Forestry Practice, Ralph C. Hawley, William Maughan

Yale School of the Environment Bulletin Series

This publication has been prepared as a contribution toward solving some of the forestry problems with which owners of woodland are confronted. Forest conditions and details and methods of forest management on one property, the Eli Whitney Forest, are set forth here in the hope that the recital may provide a helpful object lesson.

The Transportation Of Logs On Sleds, Alexander Michael Koroleff, Ralph C. Bryant

Yale School of the Environment Bulletin Series

Heavy sleds, designed to transport timber from the forest to water courses down which it is floated or to haul it to mill or market, have been perfected chiefly in the United States and Canada. The importance of this method is indicated by the fact that it is used in transporting approximately 90 per cent of the annual log input of New England and New York, 80 per cent of that of the Lake States, and 100 per cent of that of Alaska and of Canada, exclusive of British Columbia.

The credit for the development of sled-hauling methods in the …

A Classification For Forestry Literature, Faculty Of The Yale Forest School

Yale School of the Environment Bulletin Series

The following classification for forestry literature has been prepared by the Faculty of the Yale Forest School for use in its library. It is published to supply the demand for a simple and comprehensive classification that is adapted to any library system. The work was begun about one year ago and included a study of all available data on the subject. A tentative outline was submitted to prominent members of the profession from whom helpful suggestions were received.

The subject has been divided into nine parts of approximately equal importance. The secondary divisions also have been limited to nine and …
