Salvage logging, ecosystem processes, and biodiversity conservation.
We summarize the documented and potential impacts of salvage logging--a form of logging that removes trees and other biological material from sites after natural disturbance. Such operations may reduce or eliminate biological legacies, modify rare postdisturbance habitats, influence populations, alter community composition, impair natural vegetation recovery, facilitate the colonization of inva...
متن کاملSnag longevity in relation to wildfire and postfire salvage logging
Snags create nesting, foraging, and roosting habitat for a variety of wildlife species. Removal of snags through postfire salvage logging reduces the densities and size classes of snags remaining after wildfire. We determined important variables associated with annual persistence rates (the probability a snag remains standing from 1 year to the next) of large conifer snags ( 23 cm diameter brea...
متن کاملTerrain Elevation Data Structure Operations
We describe several programs working with 1201x1201 gridded (array) terrain elevation data: determining the viewshed of an observer, and the visibility indices of all points, converting from a grid to a TIN, losslessly and lossily compressing a grid, and interpolating from contours to a grid. The intent is to integrate these, and new, programs, into a test suite the better to understand hypsogr...
متن کاملEffects of selection logging on rainforest productivity
An analysis of data from 212 permanent sample plots provided no evidence of any decline in rainforest productivity after three cycles of selection logging in the tropical rainforests of north Queensland. Relative productivity was determined as the difference between observed diameter increments and increments predicted from a diameter increment function which incorporated tree size, stand densi...
متن کاملThe human factors of implementing shift work in logging operations.
A fairly recent development in the forest industry is the use of shift work in logging in the southeastern U.S. Logging company owners are implementing shift work as an opportunity to increase production and potentially reduce the cost of producing each unit of wood, without consideration of the potential impacts on the logging crew. There are many documented physiological and psychological imp...
