Silviculture Treatments for Ecosystem Management in the Sayward (STEMS)
註釋The Silviculture Treatments for Ecosystem Management in the Sayward (STEMS) project is a large-scale, multidisciplinary experiment that compares forest productivity, economics, & public perception of seven treatments replicated at three sites in the Sayward Landscape Unit in the Campbell River Forest District on Vancouver Island. This report describes the establishment of the first replication of STEMS in the Snowden Demonstration Forest located in the southern portion of the Unit. The treatments investigated include five different silvicultural systems (clear-cut, patch cut, group selection, aggregate retention, & uniform dispersed retention) which are compared against two extended rotation options with & without commercial thinning. The first replication was harvested in 2001 and results related to each treatment are presented. The results will be used to improve forest management & policies and will be especially relevant for forests with multiple use objectives.
