Natural Resources Conservation Service Technical Forestry Note TX-FS-12-6 Pre-commercial thinning – Benefits/Costs?

Pre-commercial thinning is a thinning method performed prior to trees reaching merchantable size, typically around 4.5 inches dbh (diameter at breast height measured at 4.5 ft. above the ground). The objective of a pre-commercial thinning is to release some trees in overstocked stands by reducing densities to prevent stagnation and increase the growth of the remaining trees. Many southern pine ...

Gender analysis in forestry research: looking back and thinking ahead

This review charts out recent developments in gender research in forestry research, with a focus on tropical and dry forests in developing countries. We reviewed 121 publications extracted from the Web of Knowledge database and publications by the Center for International Forestry Research for the past 10 years. Over the past decade (2000–2011) gender-focused forestry research has been dominate...

Process Models as Tools in Forestry Research and Management

Forest process models are mathematical representations of biological systems that incorporate our understanding of physiological and ecological mechanisms into predictive algorithms. These models were originally designed and used for research purposes, but are being developed for use in practical forest management. Process models designed for research typically require complicated and intensive...
