Silviculture Treatments for Ecosystem Management in the Sayward (STEMS)
註釋Silviculture Treatments for Ecosystem Management in the Sayward (STEMS) is a large-scale, multi-disciplinary experiment that compares forest productivity, economics, and public perception of seven silvicultural regimes replicated at three sites in the Sayward Forest. The STEMS experiment uses silvicultural systems and treatments to create diversity in forest structure that results in a variety of canopy layers (vertical structure) and spatial patchiness (horizontal structure) to enhance biodiversity and wildlife. This Technical Report describes the establishment of the second replication of STEMS starting in 2003 near Elk Bay in the Sayward Forest. Treatment units were harvested in 2005. STEMS 2 stand conditions differ from STEMS 1 with higher densities and proportions of western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) and moister biogeoclimatic site series.--Document.
