APES Learning Goal:Describe the role and function of forests and Forestry management
6
Essential Questions:1. Should forests only be used as a resource to
provide materials for people and civilization?2. Should forests be used only to conserve natural
ecosystems and biodiversity including specific endangered species
Additional Questions Can a forest survive both of these functions? Can a forest be managed sustainably for either? What about climate change? What about the global economy? Should they be maintained for either of these
and still retain their scenic beauty? What about spiritual needs? (see page 242) Should we allow fires to burn via wildfires?
Are naturalTypes of fires
Surface firesCrown firesGround fires
Many kinds of life not only have adapted to wildfires but DEPEND on them
Because many areas that have natural fires have not been allowed to have them, they have “built up fuel” and the fires are worse than they would have been – killing life that would have previously survived
Solutions?
In most developing countries forests are cut so that people can obtain energy from the wood.
Silviculture: the the professional growing of trees
Forests benefit people through public service functions: functions performed by ecosystems for the betterment of life and human existence
Ex) cleansing of air by trees
A Forest WatershedThis diagram shows the effects of trees
in evaporating water, preventing
erosion and providing habitats
for wildlife.
What happens when the trees are
gone?
Should all streams have “stream-
protection zones” where no logging etc. is allowed? If
so how wide should this buffer be?

Determined by Water content in the soilForest tolerance of shade
There is no single best set of conditions for a forest
Tree Niches Water Content in the Soil
Vocabulary: Old-Growth Forest: a forest that has never been cut Second-Growth Forest: has been cut and re-grown Rotation Time: the time between cuts
Foresters group trees into: Dominants: tallest, most common, most vigorous Codominants: fairly common, sharing the canomy of
the forest Intermediate: forming a layer of growth below the
dominants Suppressed: growing in the understory
Sites are classified by site quality: the maximum timber crop the site can produce in a given time
4 types:1. Shelterwood-Cutting:
• Cutting dead and less desirable tress first and then cutting the mature trees later. Young trees always left in the forest.
2. Seed-Tree Cutting: • Removes all but a few seed trees (mature trees with high
seed production and good genetics)3. Selective Cutting
• Individual trees are marked and cut Example: Thinning is when poorly formed trees
are removed Example: Sometimes specific size trees are
removed etc.4. Strip-Cutting:
1. Narrow rows of forests are cut leaving wooded corridors.
The cutting of all trees in a stand at the same time.
