Sentence examples for treated forest from inspiring English sources

Fire area simulator (FARSITE) was used to simulate landscape-level wildfire behavior in both untreated and treated forest landscapes.

In some cases the total carbon emissions from treatment and subsequent wildfire may be greater in a treated forest stand than an untreated stand [18].

Potential total stand C in 2100 ranged from 87too 166 Mg C ha−1 in the untreated forest, and from 75too 109 Mg C ha−1 in the treated forest (Figure 5).

Fuel reduction treatments also influence forest C balance both through their potential to modify fire behavior in recently treated forest stands, and because the treatments themselves remove woody biomass from the forest [1]-[4].

Furthermore, not all treated forest stands are likely to experience a wildfire because of the low probability of fire occurring in one location during a given time period [16], so some treated stands will have reduced C stores without any benefit from avoided pyrogenic emissions.

In a selected comparison of two treated forest stands with low severity fire, the use of biomass for electricity production increased the net C balance from 19.50 Mg ha−1 in a treatment without bioenergy production to 29.80 Mg ha−1 in a treatment with bioenergy production (Table 3).

Dendroica pensylvanica was mostly seen in the treated forests while Dendroica virens and Seiurus aurocapillus were more abundant in the untreated forest.

Thin + chip treated forests also had a significantly different understory plant community composition compared to control or thin-only treatments, including an increased richness of rhizomatous plant species.

Studies at large spatial and temporal scales suggest that there is a low likelihood of high-severity wildfire events interacting with treated forests, negating any expected C benefit from fuels reduction.

Fuel treatments may result in increased growth or increased reproductive output among the remaining trees, and may enable treated forests to avoid future drought- or insect-related mortality by reducing stress on trees due to competition for water or light [63, 64].

Fuel treatments may result in increased growth or increased reproductive output among the remaining trees, and may enable treated forests to avoid future drought- or insect-related mortality by reducing stress on trees due to competition for water or light [ 63, 64].
