6. Timber Harvest Activity Discussion

7. Modern Conflicts over Forest Land and Forest Resources • Essential Questions: • Should forests only be used as a resource to provide materials for people and civilization? • Should forests be used only to conserve natural ecosystems and biodiversity including specific endangered species • Additional Questions • Can a forest survive both of these functions? • Can a forest be managed sustainably for either? • What about climate change? • What about the global economy? • Should they be maintained for either of these and still retain their scenic beauty? • What about spiritual needs? (see page 242) • Should we allow fires to burn via wildfires?

8. Wildfires • Are natural • Types of fires • Surface fires • Crown fires • Ground fires • Many kinds of life not only have adapted to wildfires but DEPEND on them • Because many areas that have natural fires have not been allowed to have them, they have “built up fuel” and the fires are worse than they would have been – killing life that would have previously survived • Solutions?

9. Modern Conflicts over Forest Land and Forest Resources • In most developing countries forests are cut so that people can obtain energy from the wood. • Silviculture: the the professional growing of trees • Forests benefit people through public service functions: functions performed by ecosystems for the betterment of life and human existence • Ex) cleansing of air by trees

10. A Forest Watershed This diagram shows the effects of trees in evaporating water, preventing erosion and providing habitats for wildlife. What happens when the trees are gone? Should all streams have “stream-protection zones” where no logging etc. is allowed? If so how wide should this buffer be?

11. The Life of a Tree • How a Tree Grows • Photosynthesis • Formula__________________________________ • Transportation Systems • Two parts:______________ & ________________ • Evapotranspiration • How ___________ is lost to the atmosphere. • Tree Niches • Determined by • Water content in the soil • Forest tolerance of shade • There is no single best set of conditions for a forest

12. Tree Niches Water Content in the Soil

13. A Forester’s View of a Forest • Vocabulary: • Old-Growth Forest: a forest that has never been cut • Second-Growth Forest: has been cut and re-grown • Rotation Time: the time between cuts • Foresters group trees into: • Dominants: tallest, most common, most vigorous • Codominants: fairly common, sharing the canomy of the forest • Intermediate: forming a layer of growth below the dominants • Suppressed: growing in the understory • Sites are classified by site quality: the maximum timber crop the site can produce in a given time

14. Clear-Cutting The cutting of all trees in a stand at the same time. 4 types: • Shelterwood-Cutting: • Cutting dead and less desirable tress first and then cutting the mature trees later. Young trees always left in the forest. • Seed-Tree Cutting: • Removes all but a few seed trees (mature trees with high seed production and good genetics) • Selective Cutting • Individual trees are marked and cut • Example: Thinning is when poorly formed trees are removed • Example: Sometimes specific size trees are removed etc. • Strip-Cutting: • Narrow rows of forests are cut leaving wooded corridors.
