Forestry Materials Forest Types and Treatments
-- - Forestry Materials Forest Types and Treatments mericans are looking to their forests today for more benefits than r ·~~.'~;:_~B~:;. A ever before-recreation, watershed protection, wildlife, timber, "'--;':r: .";'C: wilderness. Foresters are often able to enhance production of these bene- fits. This book features forestry techniques that are helping to achieve .,;~~.~...t& the American dream for the forest. , ~- ,.- The story is for landolVners, which means it is for everyone. Millions . .~: of Americans own individual tracts of woodland, many have shares in companies that manage forests, and all OWII the public lands managed by government agencies. The forestry profession exists to help all these landowners obtain the benefits they want from forests; but forests have limits. Like all living things, trees are restricted in what they can do and where they can exist. A tree that needs well-drained soil cannot thrive in a marsh. If seeds re- quire bare soil for germination, no amount of urging will get a seedling established on a pile of leaves. The fOllOwing pages describe th.: ways in which stands of trees can be grown under commonly Occllrring forest conditions ill the United States. Originating, growing, and tending stands of trees is called silvicllllllr~ \ I, 'R"7'" -, l'l;l.f\ .. (silva is the Latin word for forest). Without exaggeration, silviculture is the heartbeat of forestry. It is essential when humans wish to manage the forests-to accelerate the production or wildlife, timber, forage, or to in- / crease recreation and watershed values. Of course, some benerits- t • wilderness, a prime example-require that trees be left alone to pursue their' OWII destiny. -

Page 1 of 34 Forestry Measurement Techniques Measuring, Quantifying
Forestry Measurement Techniques Measuring, quantifying, and displaying forestry data. Reference for: WILD2400, WILD3850, WILD4750, WILD5700 (updated September 2019) Measuring trees to characterize stands or forests has its own unique set of tools and techniques. Because trees do not necessarily scale to forests to landscapes, etc., there are important considerations to make to accurately characterize trees and stands in the field. Generally, the data we collect have little meaning in and of themselves, they need to be tabulated, or displayed graphical to portray their meaning. These data are important if we want to make important silvicultural consideration with respect to characterizing, and/or treating the stand. This may be to portray wildlife habitat, quantify current volume, or to enhance future growth, among other things. This handout is a review of some essential measurement and quantification skills requisite for forestry, and really any natural resource professional tasked with characterizing trees and forests. We will define some basic concepts, show you how to make some simple tree- and stand-level measurements. Then we will show you how to use the data collected for quantitative assessment of: stand stocking, determining site index (site quality), stand density, species composition, and diameter/age distributions. I anticipate that you would keep this handout for future reference during your curriculum at USU, and that it might be a helpful reference in your future. Tree Measurements (direct) Crown Base (CB): Height to the base of live branches. Used to calculate live crown ratio (LCR). Typically measured with a Biltmore stick, clinometer, or hypsometer. Diameter at breast height (DBH): where breast height is 4.5 feet (or 1.3 m) off the ground. -
Wildlife: Regional Forester Sensitive Species (Rfss)-Plants
WILDLIFE: REGIONAL FORESTER SENSITIVE SPECIES (RFSS)-PLANTS (1) Overview Several sensitive plant projects involving monitoring were planned in 2005. These projects were all either habitat improvement projects or monitoring of a mitigation that was required for another project. However, due either to lack of a sufficient burn window or to litigation, only one of these projects was implemented: Kawishiwi Admin Site Botrychium Transplant. Lack of a burn window prevented treatments from being implemented for a Virginia EIS moonwort project and a Trygstad Sale barren strawberry project, and litigation of the Tomahawk EA prevented implementation of a Botrychium habitat improvement project. Baseline monitoring has been conducted at all of these project sites, and follow – up monitoring would be conducted after treatments occur. For the Kawishiwi Admin Site Botrychium Transplant, a large population of the rare matricary grapefern (Botrychium matricariifolium) was growing where the parking lot was planned for the new Admin Site. To mitigate impacts from the project, we attempted to transplant individuals to 2 nearby sites using a tree spade as well as by hand using a shovel. Transplanting occurred in Fall 2004, and monitoring occurred in Summer 2005. Survival of individuals was measured in plots. 65% of transplanted individuals survived across all plots. Monitoring will be repeated in 2006. 1) Matricary grapefern population that will 2) Tree spade in process of transplanting 3) Completed transplant plug be impacted by parking lot construction WL.

Forest Landowners Need to Know About the Measurement of Timber and Logs Before a Buyer Appears with an Offer, a Contract, and a Check, One Seemingly Cannot Refuse
Forest landowners need to know about the measurement of timber and logs before a buyer appears with an offer, a contract, and a check, one seemingly cannot refuse. Often the check seems very large and the offer very enticing, especially if the owner has a bill due. So the owner may accept the offer without knowing much about the quantity of quality of the timber. Landowners who know how much timber they have to sell can make a better judgment about the fairness of an offer to buy. Comparing lists of timber volumes made several years apart will allow a landowner to calculate the growth of the forest in the amount of board feet per acre, per year. This growth, or “yield”, is the amount that can be cut from the forest, indefinitely, for firewood or lumber. Forest owners, who know this figure, become forest managers, and their decisions should be of greater benefit to themselves, the forest, and other people. This article deals with the basics needed by a landowner who wishes to measure the quantity of his own timber. Quality is another variable and will be discussed in a later article. MEASURING LOGS (SCALING) The most accurate way to determine the amount of timber is to cut the trees down. Then, measure and tally the number of board feet in the logs. The only tool needed is a yardstick. Logs are commonly cut in even lengths from 8 to 16 feet long. An extra 4 inches is customarily added for trim so that a 16 foot log is actually 16 feet 4 inches in length. -
