Prescribed burning is being widely used in fire-prone forests to modify stand structure, reduce risks of severe wildfire, and increase ecosystem resilience to natural disturbances.
The shelterwood system yielded the forest landscape with the highest recreation value and the clearcutting system the lowest, both for equal and modified stand type shares.
Silviculture to meet these objectives may include thinning forests to modify stand structure or commercial harvest treatments that remove many trees.
Restoration/fuel reduction treatments are being widely used in fire-prone forests to modify stand structure, reduce risks of severe wildfire, and increase ecosystem resilience to natural disturbances.
This study shows how silvicultural treatments can be used to modify stand transpiration and AGB-WUE of E. nitens plantations, potentially reducing their drought susceptibility while making more efficient use of the sites water resources.
Our results demonstrate the strong resilience of these boreal mixedwood plant communities and suggest ways that silvicultural intervention can modify stand composition and diversity to address a variety of ecosystem management goals.
After approximately 45 minutes the chip was ready for thermal cycling and detection of the reaction products on the modified stand-alone thermal cyclers.
His private dwelling, built about 50 bce and never seriously modified, still stands.
When leaders of the United Methodist Church gathered for their General Conference in Cleveland for the last two weeks, much attention focused on whether the denomination, the nation's largest mainline Protestant body, would modify its stands against ordaining gays and blessing same-sex unions.
