ENGELKING, State Superintendent Ex-Officio ... i FOREWORD The forests of Idaho cover approximately one-thirdof her total area and represent a resource which is vital to hereconomy. The processing and marketing of forest products hasgrown into one of the foremost industries in the State, not only froma monetary standpoint, but also in numbers of workers employed. This growth has not been withoutproblems, however, and timber measurement ranks highon. the critical list. Diversified ownerships, inadequately trainedscalers, and other conditions pertinent to the harvesting and measureineisil'itforest products in local areas of the State have resulted in a variety of proceduresbeing used for timbal measurement. These varied procedureswere satisfactory for a time; bat, as timber became more inaccessibleand more expensive to harvest,a need for greater accuracy and uniformityin timber measurementwas evident. In the early 1920's, the lumber industryrequested the assistance of the Idaho State Board for Vocational Educationin correcting the timbermeasure- ment problem. In answer to this request, thevocational board employed Clyde E. Knouf, Lumberman, U.S. ForestService, to help in solving this problem. As a partial solution, Mr. Knoufconducted a series of short, in- tensive courses for log scalers in the Coeurd'Alene and Priest Lakeareas. In 1922, the Idaho State Board for VocationalEducation first printed the material used by Mr. Knouf in his classesir a bulletin entitled "Trade Course in Log Scaling for Idaho Woods."The original bulletinwas revised and reprinted in 1924. The classes conducted by Mr. Knouf andthe two editions of the manual did much to improve and to standardizelog scaling, not only in Idaho, but in surrounding states as well. BothMr. Knouf and the manual gained wide recognition in the field of log scaling. In recent years, considerable emphasis hasbeen placed upon greater utilization of forest products. This, togetherwith increased harvesting costs and technological advances in the industry,has again brought abouta need for more uniformity andaccuracy in timber measurement. During the winter of 1957-58, the NorthernIdaho Forestry Association and the Southern Idaho Forestry Associationrequested that the Idaho State Board for Vocational Education assist intraining men for the job of log scaling and timber measurement. In orderto be aisured that the training offered would not be basedupon obsolete practices, theldaho State Board for Vocational Education appointedrepresentatives from the lumber industry and from: the State Land Departmentto a State Advisory Committee for Log Scaling. The general responsibilitiesof the committee were to review the old manual and to recommend suchchanges as were necessary to bring it up to date. Consultants from theWestern Pine Association, the U.S. Forest Service, the University of IdahoCollege of Forestry, the Bureau of Land Management, and the StateForestry Department were appointed by the vocational board to assist thecommittee in various technical phasesof the manual. \ IV FOREWORD The Trade and Industrial Division of the Idaho State Board for Vocational Education is greatly indebted to the following individuals, who gave freely of their time and knowledge in the rewriting of this manual and to their em- ployers who made it possible for them to participate in committee activities: Members of the State Advisory Committee for Log Scaling Chairman AL Roquour EDWARD F.

Waser Received: 8 March 2017; Accepted: 9 June 2017; Published: 16 June 2017 Abstract: We outline an approach combining airborne laser scanning (ALS) and imaging spectroscopy (IS) to quantify and assess patterns of tree density (TD) and forest productivity (FP) in a protected heterogeneous alpine forest in the Swiss National Park (SNP). We use ALS data and a local maxima (LM) approach to predict TD, as well as IS data (Airborne Prism Experiment—APEX) and an empirical model to estimate FP. We investigate the dependency of TD and FP on site related factors, in particular on surface exposition and elevation. Based on reference data (i.e., 1598 trees measured in 35 field plots), we observed an underestimation of ALS-based TD estimates of 40%. Our results suggest a limited sensitivity of the ALS approach to small trees as well as a dependency of TD estimates on canopy heterogeneity, structure, and species composition.

  • Implications of Selective Harvesting of Natural Forests for Forest Product Recovery and Forest Carbon Emissions: Cases from Tarai Nepal and Queensland Australia
    Article Implications of Selective Harvesting of Natural Forests for Forest Product Recovery and Forest Carbon Emissions: Cases from Tarai Nepal and Queensland Australia Bishnu Hari Poudyal, Tek Narayan Maraseni * and Geoff Cockfield Centre for Sustainable Agricultural Systems, University of Southern Queensland, Queensland 4350, Australia * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 5 July 2019; Accepted: 13 August 2019; Published: 15 August 2019 Abstract: Selective logging is one of the main natural forest harvesting approaches worldwide and contributes nearly 15% of global timber needs. However, there are increasing concerns that ongoing selective logging practices have led to decreased forest product supply, increased forest degradation, and contributed to forest based carbon emissions. Taking cases of natural forest harvesting practices from the Tarai region of Nepal and Queensland Australia, this study assesses forest product recovery and associated carbon emissions along the timber production chain. Field measurements and product flow analysis of 127 commercially harvested trees up to the exit gate of sawmills and interaction with sawmill owners and forest managers reveal that: (1) Queensland selective logging has less volume recovery (52.8%) compared to Nepal (94.5%) leaving significant utilizable volume in the forest, (2) Stump volume represents 5.5% of total timber volume in Nepal and 3.9% in Queensland with an average stump height of 43.3 cm and 40.1 cm in Nepal and Queensland respectively, (3) Average sawn timber output from the harvested logs is 36.3% in Queensland against 3 3 61% in Nepal, (4) Nepal and Queensland leave 0.186 Mg C m− and 0.718 Mg C m− on the forest floor respectively, (5) Each harvested tree damages an average of five plant species in Nepal and four in Queensland predominantly seedlings in both sites, and (6) Overall logging related total emissions in 3 3 Queensland are more than double (1.099 Mg C m− ) those in Nepal (0.488 Mg C m− ).

  • A Treemendous Educator Guide
    A TREEmendous Educator Guide Throughout 2011, we invite you to join us in shining a deserving spotlight on some of Earth’s most important, iconic, and heroic organisms: trees. To strengthen efforts to conserve and sustainably manage trees and forests worldwide, the United Nations has declared 2011 as the International Year of Forests. Their declaration provides an excellent platform to increase awareness of the connections between healthy forests, ecosystems, people, and economies and provides us all with an opportunity to become more aware, more inspired, and more committed to act. Today, more than 8,000 tree species—about 10 percent of the world’s total—are threatened with extinction, mostly driven by habitat destruction or overharvesting. Global climate change will certainly cause this number to increase significantly in the years to come. Here at the Garden, we care for many individual at-risk trees (representing 48 species) within our diverse, global collection. Many of these species come from areas of the world where the Garden is working to restore forest ecosystems and the trees in them. Overall, we have nearly 6,000 individual trees in our main Garden, some dating from the time of founder Henry Shaw. Thousands more trees thrive at nearby Shaw Nature Reserve, as part of the Garden’s commitment to native habitat preservation, conservation, and restoration. Regardless of where endangered trees are found—close to home or around the world—their survival requires action by all of us. The Great St. Louis Tree Hunt of 2011 is one such action, encouraging as many people as possible to get out and get connected with the spectacular trees of our region.
