Abstract |
The Opax Mountain silvicultural systems study is a long-term, multi-disciplinary, multi-agency research study of the ecological impact of alternative harvesting practices on a dry Douglas-fir forest in the Interior. The project was initiated in 1992 to provide information on the sustainability of different silvicultural systems. High priority information needs included: harvesting cost and operations logistics, forest regeneration; nutrient cycling and soil productivity; pest management; floral and faunal biodiversity, and historical patterns of natural disturbances. Considerable progress has been made in fulfilling these needs. We have shared results with a wide variety of audiences in over 15 extension events.. Andre Arsenault. | ||||||
