An Ecological Approach to Organizing Forests for Woodlot Management
註釋This report describes an approach to woodlot management that uses the ecological characteristics of the basic unit of management, the forest stand. Through site classification, forest stands can be organized so that silvicultural treatments can be applied most effectively. The report proposes a framework organized at the levels of compartments as administrative units; subcompartments as ecologically based units with characteristic responses and sensitivities to treatment; stands as relatively homogeneous in site properties and forest cover; and working groups as stands arranged according to management objectives. Appropriate silvicultural regimes are described for the working groups, and stand map, stand description, and planning tables are provided as basic management tools.
