Maintaining or increasing stand productivity is the concern of
forest land managers worldwide. Consequently, there is increasing
interest in understanding the impact of environmental stress on
productivity and the development of management strategies that
ameliorate or reduce the deleterious effects. Invited scientists
gathered in Fort Collins, Colorado on July 30, 1985, to present the
current state of knowledge regarding the impact of environmental
stress on forest stand productivity. Particular attention was given
to elucidating the mode of action by which individual stress
elements reduce productivity. Environmental factors and the levels
that constitute stressed (suboptimal) conditions in forest stands
were identified, and the effects of stress intensity and duration
on key stand parameters, including photosynthesis, respiration,
assimilate partitioning, senescence and mortality, were emphasized.
The role of genetics and silvicultural treatments in lessening the
stress impact on stand productivity was presented, particularly in
regards to alternative methods for environmental stress management.
Modeling of stand dynamics in response to environmental stress was
explored as an effective research and management tool. VIII
Improved forest management practices will develop as we improve our
understanding of the nature of important environmental stresses and
as we comprehend their impact on tree and stand performance,
manifested through physiological processes and genetic potential.
This book is dedicated to such an understanding and comprehension.
The Forest Regeneration Manual presents state-of-the-art
information about current regeneration practices for southern pines
in the United States. Over 1.2 billion seedlings of five major
species -- loblolly, slash, longleaf, sand, and shortleaf -- are
planted each year. In 22 chapters, the Manual details fundamental
steps in establishing successful young pine plantations:
regeneration planning, including economic and legal aspects;
regeneration harvest methods; propagation by seed and vegetative
techniques; bareroot and container seedling culturing in the
nursery; measures of seedling quality; site potential; --
environment, associated vegetation, soils; matching species to
sites; site preparation -- mechanical and chemical methods, fire,
fertilization; seedling handling before planting; planting
practices and measures of regeneration success; promoting early
plantation growth and management of competing vegetation, insects,
disease, and wildlife.
