This guide presents site identification and interpretation information for forest ecosystems of the Vancouver Forest Region. Site identification is based on the biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification. The guide was prepared to assist users in describing and identifying forest sites and to provide management interpretations to assist users in preparing stand-level forest management prescriptions. The guide covers procedures for site assessment, a description of the biogeoclimatic units and the site units of the Vancouver Forest Region, management interpretations of tree species selection, slashburning, site productivity, competing vegetation potential, ground-based harvesting, pest risks of major conifer species, and wildlife diversity and habitat relationships. Appendices list indicator species; humus forms; keys to bedrock, hand-texturing soil, relative soil moisture regime, soil nutrient regime, and site sensitivity to slashburning; correlation of old and new biogeoclimatic and site units; and a site assessment form.
The authoritative, professional guide to improving and sustaining diverse wildlife habitat conditions in New England.
"The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the 1994 Forest Practice Rules as they relate to riparian forest stands. We hope to begin to answer the question: Are the new (1994) forest practices regulations effectively maintaining and promoting riparian conditions that may in the future function as mature riparian forests?"--Riparian Inventory Protocol, p.7.
