APES Learning Goal:  Describe the role and function of forests and Forestry management

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 natural Types of fires Surface fires Crown fires Ground 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 Watershed This 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?

Tree Niches Determined by Water content in the soil Forest 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.

Effects of Clear Cutting on Forest Chemical Cycling

Nitrate concentration in streams following logging and burning of slash (leaves brances and other tree debris = slash)
