A state-of-the-art reference on the protection of water quality in planning and conducting forest harvest, residue treatment, and regeneration operations based largely on data collected in Region X which includes Alaska. Intended to be an aid for dealing with pollution from nonpoint sources.
Large-scale use of the timber resource of southeast Alaska began in 1953 after long efforts to establish a timber industry. Development and present status of the industry and present management of the timber resource are summarized, stressing the biological basis for timber management activities in southeast Alaska today. Ecological and silvicultural considerations related to timber harvest, reforestation, and stand development are discussed. Published and unpublished information are brought together. Current management practices are discussed as a basis for a better understanding of how this information can be helpful in managing the timber resource and to point out where research is needed.
