Excerpt from Annual Report of the Minister of Natural Resources of the Province of Ontario, 1983The result of these studies was a method of classifying forest ecosystems using scientifically reliable criteria. The classification system will be of great use to all those who are interested in forestry, but will also help logging companies to plan pre-cutting activities. The system enables foresters to specify forest types with precision, and consequently, what silvicultural prescriptions will best suit an area. Harvesting, and especially regeneration techniques. Can now for the first time be keyed directly and specifically to the forest type which they will suit.For example. The classification system can be used to make decisions on whether to clear cut or strip cut a forest. Similarly, the system can be used as a basis for deciding whether to let a forest grow back naturally or whether some form of artificial seeding or planting would be best.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
