9780365760375 - Stratification of Forest Land for Timber Management Planning on the Western National Forests (Classic Reprint) de Wikstrom, John H. (1 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes a study of six western National Forests in the United States, focusing on their timber growing bases - the forested land suitable and available for producing timber. The study's findings, based on an examination of relevant data and information, assess the accuracy and effectiveness of past estimates of the timber growing base and explore opportunities for improvement. In comparison to earlier estimates, the study reveals a significant reduction in the timber growing base. This reduction is attributed to a variety of factors including areas not capable of producing a sufficient volume of timber, land too unstable or unsuitable for logging, and patches of timber too small or isolated to be utilized economically. The study also examines the impact of land use considerations and other management objectives on the availability of timber growing land and discusses the implications of these factors for future timber production and forest management planning. Overall, the book provides valuable insights into the complexities of forest land stratification for timber management planning, and highlights the importance of accurate and comprehensive data, as well as the need for a balanced approach that considers all relevant factors and perspectives.
