  • The Minnesota Lumberjacks
    THE MINNESOTA LUMBERJACKS^ This is a rather difficult subject to write a story about, for the limiberjacks we have known were composed of all kinds of men — good, bad, and indifferent — from all walks of life, and they represented many phases of human character. As a class or type they were unique and peculiar to the lumber industry; their general traits were similar, but they differed individually in intelligence, morals, and habits as much as do men in other lines of endeavor. In the Northwest they were known as lumberjacks, but in Maine and eastern Canada, where lumbering was first carried on in America in a large way, they were called shanty men or woodsmen, and the forests or lumber regions were known as the bush. In the early days of logging in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, the lumberjacks who worked in the woods, on the drives, and in the sawmills were largely of Scotch, Irish, or French extraction, but in later years Scandinavians were added to this list. The Scandinavians were a beneficial ad­ junct to the lumber business here, as lumbering was almost an hereditary occupation with them. They were descended from a long line of ancestors who had lived for centuries in northern Europe, where it was necessary to endure the hard­ ships of a rigorous climate and to understand woodcraft from its many angles. The old-time lumberjacks were mighty men in many ways, mighty of bone and sinew, hardy, alert, self-reliant, resource- ^ This paper was read on January 19 at the seventy-sixth annual meet­ ing of the Minnesota Historical Society.

A measurement used to help estimate forest stocking. Basal area is the cross-sectional surface area (in two-aged square feet) of a standing tree’s bole measured at breast height (4.5 feet above ground). The basal area A stand having two distinct age classes, each of a tree 14 inches in diameter at breast height (DBH) having originated from separate events is approximately 1 square foot, while an 8-inch DBH or disturbances.

  • Degradation of Ecosystem Services and Deforestation in Landscapes with and Without Incentive-Based Forest Conservation in the Ecuadorian Amazon
    Article Degradation of Ecosystem Services and Deforestation in Landscapes With and Without Incentive-Based Forest Conservation in the Ecuadorian Amazon Paúl Eguiguren 1,2,* , Richard Fischer 2 and Sven Günter 1,2 1 Institute of Silviculture, Department of Ecology and Ecosystem Sciences, TUM School of Life Sciences Weihenstephan, Technische Universität München, 85354 Freising, Germany; [email protected] 2 Thünen Institute of International Forestry and Forest Economics, 21031 Hamburg, Germany; richard.fi[email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 20 March 2019; Accepted: 17 May 2019; Published: 22 May 2019 Abstract: Anthropogenic activities such as logging or forest conversion into agricultural lands are affecting Ecuadorian Amazon forests. To foster private and communal conservation activities an economic incentive-based conservation program (IFC) called Socio Bosque was established. Existing analyses related to conservation strategies are mainly focused on deforestation; while degradation and the role of IFC to safeguard ecosystem services are still scarce. Further on, there is a lack of landscape-level studies taking into account potential side effects of IFC on different forest types. Therefore we assessed ecosystem services (carbon stocks, timber volume) and species richness in landscapes with and without IFC. Additionally, we evaluated potential side-effects of IFC in adjacent forest types; hypothesizing potential leakage effects of IFC. Finally, we tested if deforestation rates decreased after IFC implementation. Forest inventories were conducted in 72 plots across eight landscapes in the Ecuadorian Central Amazon with and without IFC. Plots were randomly selected within three forest types (old-growth, logged and successional forests). In each plot all individuals with a diameter at breast height greater than 10 cm were measured.

  • Longleaf Pine Forest Overview Longleaf Pine Is Also Known As Long Needle, Long Straw, Southern Yellow, Hard, Pitch and Georgia Pine Among Other Names
    Longleaf Pine Forest Overview Longleaf pine is also known as long needle, long straw, southern yellow, hard, pitch and Georgia pine among other names. The natural range of longleaf pine extends from southeastern Virginia to east Texas in a belt approximately 150 miles wide adjacent to the coasts of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. It dips as far south as central Florida and widens northward into west central Georgia and east central Alabama. It occupies portions of three physiographic provinces: the Southern Coastal Plain, the Piedmont, and the Appalachian foothills. Longleaf pine-dominated forests can prosper on a variety of soil types, moisture regimes, geological formations, and topographic features across the wide geographic range of the species - in short, they grow almost anywhere. The tree's species name (Pinus palustris) means "of the marsh." Yet longleaf today is found mostly on dry upland areas, as the moist fertile sites were the first to be cleared for farming. Longleaf-The Virgin Forest The virgin forest offers excellent opportunities for studying the life-histories of trees. .... Several investigations of the life history of the longleaf pine, including observations under virgin forest conditions, have been made within recent years. There is, however, a practical value in pursuing still further the study of this tree. The longleaf pine is commercially of the very first importance. It is extensively distributed throughout one of the best timber- producing sections of the United States and is very well adapted to systematic forest management. Within recent years new and improved methods of exploitation have been managed with too little regard for the future and the supplies are quickly melting away.
