Sixteen stands were harvested by either clearcut, shelterwood, group selection, or singletree selection methods. Three of the stands had uneven-aged structure. The other 13 were typical, matrJre, even-aged stands. Hmest intensity @roportion of basal area removed) ranged from 0.27 to 1 .@I. Hanrestcd sites were similar in slope, average diameter at breast height (DBH), and pre-harvest diamcte.r ...

Forest management, especially thinning and harvesting measures, has a significant impact on the forest carbon balance in forests with long-term continuous cover history. We measured soil CO2 efflux (Rs) three complexes of mixed, uneven-aged Dinaric predominating silver fir (Abies alba Mill.), beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), Norway spruce (Picea abies Karst.). Rs was after removal mature stands 50% ...

Pinus halepensis Mill. covers most lowland forests on limestone soils and semiarid to sub-humid climates in the Mediterranean basin. It is considered a key species climate change due its pioneer nature, versatility, flexibility. Moreover, industrial potential an additional incentive promote forest management increase quality productivity while contributing other environmental social objectives....

We evaluated evenand uneven-aged silvicultural options for slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) using empirical data and the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) model. Data were collected from a mature unthinned slash pine plantation in a flatwoods site in Florida, and used to simulate six scenarios of evenand uneven-aged silvicultural regimes applied to slash pine stands, including a no-action o...

Shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata Mill.) seed production was monitored for 4 yr in stands harvested by a range of evenand uneven-aged reproduction cutting methods. The fifty-two 35–40 ac stands were distributed throughout the Ouachita Mountains from central Arkansas to eastern Oklahoma. Seed crops were characterized as good, poor, poor, and bumper, averaging 109,000, 18,000, 5,000, and 379,000 sou...
