Regeneration standards are used throughout Canada as a tool to assess the sustainability of forest management and to help determine if desired objectives are being met. They specify various criteria that are compared to conditions in regenerating stands to assess whether the results of reforestation activity were successful. Many jurisdictions across Canada are currently re-evaluating methods for setting standards to incorporate new knowledge regarding early stand dynamics and new tools for forecasting forest development. In this paper, the history and chronological development of regeneration standards in Ontario is examined to provide context for on-going discussions regarding their improvement. Their development is traced beginning with their use to interpret the results of early regeneration surveys.--Document.
This volume reports all the information presently available from the fifty-seven regeneration surveys carried out to the present by government and private agencies within the Province of Ontario. It presents a general view of the nature of tree reproduction on cut-over forest land, followed by an analysis of the procedure in conducting and reporting regeneration surveys, and conclusions and recommendations for the conducting of future surveys.
Advance regeneration is an important component in many stands scheduled for harvesting. Properly managed, such regeneration can contribute to a healthy, new stand, but too often trees do not quickly respond to the new environment or take too long to adjust. Definitions of acceptable advance regeneration are needed for pre- and postharvest inventories. The author discusses how to develop criteria for acceptable advance regeneration and guidelines for conducting inventories.
Forest regeneration is a cornerstone of managing forests sustainably. Prompt and efficient regeneration gives society the benefits of wood products, as well as the economic wealth that obtaining and processing wood creates. Good reforestation habits provide more wood from less land and increased timber productivity means that demand for wood products can be met with less impact on non-wood uses of the forest. This symposium which was attended by nearly 200 professionals included participants from Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia had as its focus the issue of forest regeneration which is a cornerstone of managing forests sustainably. Papers presented cover a range of topics related to reforestation within the broader categories of: the status of reforestation and afforestation around the world; nursery methodologies to produce target seedlings; planting and planting site treatments to optimize regeneration; and enhancing timber production and non-timber values through stand establishment.--Document.
