Ecology, Silviculture, and Management of Black Hills Ponderosa Pine


Book Description

This paper presents a broad-based synthesis of the general ecology of the ponderosa pine ecosystem in the Black Hills. This synthesis contains information and results of research on ponderosa pine from numerous sources within the Black Hills ecosystem. We discuss the silvical characteristics of ponderosa pine, natural disturbances that govern ecosystem processes, wildlife habitat and management, various silvicultural methods to manage ponderosa pine forests, and watershed management of the Black Hills.

Growing Stock Levels in Even-aged Ponderosa Pine


Book Description

Growth of the most widely distributed pine in North America is under joint study by the western Forest and Range Experiment Stations of the U.S. Forest Service. Young, even-aged ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.) stands are being examined over a wide range of tree sizes, stand densities, and site index. The single plan that co-ordinates activities of the four Stations is an example of how the growing stock problem can be handled for a widely distributed species. The wide range in treatments should provide data needed to answer the questions that arise in evaluation and application of multiple use management of ponderosa pine forests.




Management of Ponderosa Pine in Even-aged Stands in the Southwest


Book Description

Abstract: Potential production of ponderosa pine in the Southwest is simulated for various combinations of stand density, site index, age, and thinningschedule. Such estimates are needed to project future development of stands managed in different ways.
