Sentence examples for silviculture stand from inspiring English sources

Silviculture (stand density) had a stronger influence than seedlot on DBH and stress-wave velocity, while the converse applied to outerwood density.

Acoustic velocity in standing trees has been found to change with tree age, diameter, and stand silviculture.

The twin-plot design is relative simple and inexpensive, and can be used in conjunction with routine inventory designs to guide decisions about overall stand silviculture.

The design of these experiments is described in more detail by Carson et al. ([1999b]), who also presented some preliminary analysis results showing the relative effects of site, silviculture and genetics on stand basal area, height, and volume at age eight years (i.e. at approximately one-third rotation).

The optimization of fuel hazard management is nevertheless curtailed by the current state of knowledge about crown fire behaviour and fuel dynamics in relation to stand development and silviculture.

David Forrester (*1978) is a research scientist in the Stand dynamics and Silviculture group at the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL.

Context: Growth partitioning among trees in forest stands is pivotal to silviculture, making it crucial to understand its control by factors such as stand development, stand density, or thinning.

As early as the 1920s, when there was much interest in multi-aged silviculture, scientists recognized that silvicultural systems involving within-stand variation of tree age and size could not be tested effectively on small (<1 ha) plots, and began installing compartment-scale (10 20 ha) trials on many experimental forests throughout the United States.

Our results showed increasing differences in these attributes between natural and managed stands with increasing silviculture intensity: the diameter structure became more homogenized, light demanding species richness and abundance increased and the quantity and the quality of snags decreased.

These increases will have to be met primarily by better utilisation of present timber stands through improved silviculture programmes and the application of suitable harvesting techniques.

The management strategy of single-tree selection cutting would need to be adjusted by forest managers who wish to preserve some emergent and large-sized trees in stands managed through selection silviculture.
