  • Chesapeake Forest Sustainable Forest Management Plan
    Sustainable Forest Management Plan FOR Chesapeake Forest Lands Sustainable Forests for People and the Bay FOREST SERVICE July 1, 2007 (Revision #12, April 2021) CHESAPEAKE FOREST 75,559 ACRES Dual Certified By Promoting Sustainable Forestry Certificate NSF-SFIS-0Y301-FM1 www.sfiprogram.org Preface (Revision #12, April 2021) The Chesapeake Forest Sustainable Management Plan that is presented within this document came together after several months of internal Departmental review, citizen advisory committee input and public comment. This resulted in the new Chesapeake Forest Sustainable plan that came out on July 1, 2007. Portions of the 2007 plan were developed from the original 1999 Chesapeake Forest Sustainable Forest Management Plan. Since that time, the 2007 plan has since gone through ten revisions with the most recent version dated March 2018. Revision 6 included revised Delmarva Fox Squirrel forest management recommendations that were reviewed and approved by USFWS and Maryland DNR Wildlife & Heritage Division. Revision 5 included a new section in Chapter 2 on Climate Change and its effect on the forest and in Chapter 3 detailed information was added concerning Old Growth Forests the goal for setting specific areas aside on CFL for future Old Growth. Changes within the fourth revision were the result of recommendations presented in the 2009 certification audit. The specific revisions to this edition included management recommendations for vernal pools and policy recommendations for determining areas of potential old growth and how these areas are managed. This new information is referenced in the table of contents. The third revision to the plan included a major redefinition of High Conservation Value Forest (HCVF) that now includes a much broader scope of sensitive species and habitat.

  • CHESAPEAKE BAY LOWLANDS ECOREGIONAL PLAN Conservation Science Support—Northeast and Caribbean
    CHESAPEAKE BAY LOWLANDS ECOREGIONAL PLAN Conservation Science Support—Northeast and Caribbean The Chesapeake Bay Lowlands Plan is a first iteration. The draft report that was distributed in hardcopy for review on 6/27/2002 is included on the CD. No updates were made to that version. CSS is now developing a standard template for ecoregional plans, which we have applied to the CBY ecoregional plan report. Some of the CBY results have been edited or updated for this version. Click on index in the navigation plane to browse the report sections. Note: The Bibliography (still slightly incomplete) contains the references cited in all report sections except for the Marine references, which have their own bibliography. What is the purpose of the report template? The purpose of creating a standard template for ecoregional plans in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic is twofold: — to compile concise descriptions of methodologies developed and used for ecoregional planning in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. These descriptions are meant to meet the needs of planning team members who need authoritative text to include in future plan documents, of science staff who need to respond to questions of methodology, and of program and state directors looking for material for general audience publications. — to create a modular resource whose pieces can be selected, incorporated in various formats, linked to in other documents, and updated easily. How does the template work? Methods are separated from results in this format, and the bulk of our work has gone into the standard methods sections. We have tried to make each methods section stand alone.

Shields, Ph.D. Date: --~~~/-=--K-+-j .:._[S"'__ _ Abstract Subaqueous soil science is considered one of the new subfields of Pedology. This recently developed idea defines subaqueous soils as sediments in shallow water environments that undergo soil-forming processes, are capable of supporting rooted plants, and form horizons in place. By surveying the subaqueous soils, soil scientists can provide insight for the management of submerged aquatic vegetation restoration and estuarine protection.
