California Wildlife Habitat Relationship (CWHR) – A vegetative classification system developed in California to classify wildlife habitats and vegetative structures. Clearcut (clearcutting) – removal of the entire stand in one cutting with reproduction obtained artificially or from seeds germinating after the clearing operation. Common Stand Exams (CSE) – Inventory plots installed to collect stand data and information Diameter @ Breast Height (DBH) – height at which tree diameter is normally measured specified as 4.5 feet above ground base of the tree. Fuelwood – material collected Individual tree selection (free thinning) – removal of individual trees based on project objectives. Pounds per Square Inch (PSI): The number of pounds of ground pressure exerted over one square inch of soil; a metric to assess soil compaction and to define equipment limits. Quadratic Mean Diameter (QMD): The square root of the arithmetic average of the squared values across a particular inventory (Avery and Burkhart 2002). Shade-tolerance – Species that have a tolerance to shading by other species. Shade tolerant species will grow and regenerate under a stand’s over-story. Stand density index (SDI): See Appendix B, this document for explanation; a metric for measuring forested stand density. For this document, averages are reported within the treatment units, where stand examination inventories have been conducted. This is an FVS modeled average for this document. Stocking – an indication of growing space occupancy relative to a pre-established standard, such as basal area or trees per acre. Trees per acre (TPA): The number of trees, on average, on an acre of land where stand examination inventories have been conducted; this is a modeled average for this document. Weighted average: for this document, the forest metric of interest (QMD, TPA, SDI, etc.) multiplied by the sum FVS output times the number of acres divided by the total acres affected. Uneven-aged: Forest stand composed of intermingling of trees that differ markedly in age (Avery and Burkhart 2002) Upper Diameter Limit (UDL) – the diameter at which removal of trees is restricted or meets the objectives of the silvicultural prescription. This may be a hard value or a flexible estimate depending on the type of thinning and the objectives of the silvicultural prescription. i Introduction This report summarizes the potential effects on forest vegetation resources from silvicultural activities proposed for the Rancheria Forest Restoration Project of the Kern River Ranger District of the Sequoia National Forest. This assessment addresses how the different alternatives impact the forest vegetation within the project area proposed by the Rancheria EA document. The report also addresses the scientific and analytical basis for the comparison of alternatives as presented in this report. This specialist report is being prepared for the Rancheria Forest Restoration Environmental Analysis (EA). Silvicultural Overview This assessment addresses how the different alternatives impact forest vegetation, as measured by stand density (basal area or stand density index, and indirectly crown canopy cover), stand composition (trees per acre by species), and stand structure (trees per acre by diameter class, ). These measurements are correlated to appropriate stocking levels, and stand conditions to maintain stand growth and health, including resistance to epidemic levels of insects and disease. This report addresses current and desired stand conditions and the silvicultural treatment options. The Rancheria Project proposes to treat vegetation to achieve several goals and objectives, which includes improving forest health by treating vegetation for insect and disease. Silvicultural treatments will reduce tree density, alter stand composition and stand structure creating conditions which will control insect populations, maintain them at endemic levels and improve the growth of trees, forest stands, and the vegetation across the landscape. Tree and forest health conditions also contribute significantly to the fire risk; therefore silvicultural treatments that improve forest health and lower risk of insect and disease outbreaks, would contribute to altering fire risk and behavior. For example, in certain stand structure conditions, the amount of vegetation mortality from insect/disease conditions, can increase both crown fire potential and contribute to increased fuel levels now and over time. Thinning forest stands to specific standards contributes to maintaining forest health while achieving fire behavior objectives. Mechanical thinning operations have the ability to effectively (both economically and ecologically) remove trees of varying sizes while managing the reduction of canopy cover, and residual fuel levels. Need for action Vegetation conditions in the project area are departed from historic norms, and are at or beyond the range of natural variability. Large ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), Jeffrey pine (P. jefferyii), and California black oak (Quercus kelloggii) were logged from the Greenhorn Mountains around the mid-1800’s, in concert with the development of local mining, agriculture, tourism, ranching and town of Bakersfield. The result of a 100 year policy of fire suppression combined with historic logging is a dense second-growth forest with trees that are smaller, more uniform, and of different relative species composition than were historically present, leaving

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.

Data came from 5-year remeasurements of continuous forest inventory plots. Six species groups were created according to diameter structure, tree growth, mortality, recruitment and light demand of species. A 5-year basal area increment model and logistic mortality model were calibrated for species groups. Potential predictor variables at tree-level and stand-level were selected based on the available data and their biological significance to tree growth and mortality. The resulting models possess desirable statistical properties and model behaviors, and can be used to update short- term inventory. # 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Virtual stands of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) across a range of structure types were stochastically generated and random sampling was simulated. We compared the bias and accuracy of stand quadratic mean diameter estimates, employing different ranks of measured stems from a set of the 10 trees nearest to the sampling point. We proposed several modifications of the original Weise’s rule based on the measurement and averaging of two different ranks centered to a target rank.
