  1. CSC Winter Workshop 2014 Wrap-up Summary COSMIN Filipescu

  2. General comments • CSC relevance and importance • Platform to learn and debate • Acronyms • Keep the name tags, re-use at summer • List of names – to be shared unless privacy • Successful workshop

  3. Introduction – Doug and Bryce • Safety • Choice • Information • Direction • Cycles: trees x 2-3 a forester career (Coast)

  4. Pat Bryant – TSR 101 • Black box of TSR • Assumptions: Initial conditions, Rules of change, Criteria/Indicators • Results: Harvest Flows, Metrics • Timber Supply: Influence – SI, Age, Initial Density, Spatial patterns Volume to value ratio 14:1 The Law of Bryant

  5. Stefan Zeglen and Jim Brown • Health and TSR • Myth and reality (whose?) • Losses: Basic and refined, endemic and epidemic • Some losses we see, some we do not see • Catastrophic is easy; Scale matters • Uncertainty Past vs. Future • OAF, YSM, TASS “TSR analysts are not evil”

  6. Dr. Gordon Weetman - ACE “The Coast of BC – best place to grow trees in Canada” • Private investment on Crown land • Profitable vs. accountable • Case studies • Go intensive or go broke • AB and ON; why not BC? Value x3 “Let’s get serious about growing cedar”

  7. Annette van Niejenhuis Silviculture and AAC • Plant: Good – Definitely; maybe • Hemlock: Good – If you have it • Genetic gain: Good – 4% ROI anyone? • Fdc: Good, but also Pw, Ss and broadleaves • Higher plant density: Good, it depends • Site prep: Good – possibly • Fertilization at plant: It depends, cost? • Brush: cost? • PCT: Not Good, most likely • Fertilization: Good – two thumbs up Value x2

  8. Paul Barolet AAC and species • Some concerns: discrimination both under and overstory • Retention and stocking standard • Inventory discrimination: cover and reporting • Silviculture matters to AAC!

  9. Rene de Jong • YSM ≠ SDM – floor at 727 Fisgard • Morice case study – 50 plots, grid based in young stands 15-50 • Characteristics – size distributions, health, composition, SI • TSR assumptions: SI, species, health combine for downward pressure

  10. Jeff and Eleanor McWilliams - The Good, The Bad (and …) of Early Second growth harvesting • Good or Bad: it depends – objectives, constraints; financial vs. biological • PG case study – best sites best bet • Harry Smith Trials – Cw beats Fdc handily • Age class distribution, species composition • Climate change and risk • Early height growth; OAFs; Monitoring Value x6
