註釋In 1989, a program on silvicultural systems was initiated, along with a study to review the current status of silvicultural systems in B.C.; to identify public and industry attitudes relating to forest management and silvicultural systems; and to review the concepts of new forestry and discuss the implications of its application in B.C. The report includes a brief history of silvicultural and forest management in B.C., followed by an outline of the forest management controversy. A variety of silvicultural systems available in B.C. are reviewed for their characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. The considerations in choosing a system are presented, including management goals, ecological and biological factors, and operational and socioeconomic considerations. New Forestry concepts are outlined and the challenges involved in applying the approach in B.C. are explored. The issues pertaining to the selection and application of silvicultural systems are summarized and a number of recommendations are presented for future research. A glossary is included.
