Silviculture. As forest management shifts “Beyond the Beetle”, the basic silviculture program and any funding for intensive silviculture must become focused on meeting key manage objectives.
Silviculture. NPNS shall carry out and pay for all silviculture work necessary to produce sufficient Silviculture Credits (as that term is referenced in the Forest Sustainability Regulations under the Forests Act (Nova Scotia)) to satisfy its operational requirements (including maintaining the AAC as detailed in Exhibit D). NPNS shall have the right to all the “Silviculture Credits” created by the silviculture activities carried out on the Timberlands by NPNS during the Term and those Silviculture Credits created by the silviculture activities carried out on the Timberlands by Neenah in 2008, which credits Neenah shall assign to NPNS on the Effective Date. NPNS shall provide Neenah with a silviculture plan (the “Silviculture Plan”) on an annual basis during the Term and copies of all silviculture activities filed with Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources. The annual Silviculture Plans shall be subject to Owner’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if the Silviculture Plan produces sufficient Silviculture Credits (as that term is referenced in the Forest Sustainability Regulations under the Forests Act (Nova Scotia) to satisfy its operational requirements (including maintaining the AAC as detailed in Exhibit D. If NPNS fails to conduct silviculture work then Neenah shall have the right to include the per ton cost of Silviculture Credits in the calculation of the price for Qualifying Stumpage.
Silviculture. The theory and practice of controlling the establishment, composition, health, structure and growth of forests in order to achieve specified management objectives. Site preparation Any action taken in conjunction with a reforestation effort (natural or artificial) to create an environment favourable for survival of suitable trees during the first growing season. This environment can be created by altering the ground cover, soil or microsite conditions; using biological, mechanical or manual clearing; prescribed burning; herbicides or a combination of methods. [Dunster] Skid trail An unimproved temporary forest trail suitable for use by equipment such as bulldozers and skidders in bringing trees or logs to a landing or road. Small patch of residual trees A patch of less than 0.2 hectares of undisturbed canopy forest surrounded by harvested area. The patch must be composed of at least four canopy trees. At least two of the trees in the patch should be large residual trees. Snag A standing dead tree that is taller than 2 metres. Soil displacement A loss of nutrient-rich organic layers, and top mineral soil as a result of harvesting activities. Bare mineral soil is susceptible to raindrop impact causing soil crusting, increased surface runoff, and erosion. Soil disturbance In the context of the five per cent maximum allowable area within a harvest area, includes bared landing areas, temporary roads, displaced soils or ruts. Includes: forest floor layers missing; evidence of surface soil removal, gouging and piling surface soil displaced; surface soil may be mixed with subsoil; and/or subsoil partially or totally exposed. Soil productivity The capacity of a soil to provide for growth. Spatial Harvest Sequence (SHS) The areas scheduled for timber harvesting for the first 20 years. Provided in the FMP. Species at risk Any species known to be “at risk” after formal detailed status assessment and designation as “Endangered” or “Threatened” in Alberta. The list of species at risk is maintained by Alberta. Species group Conifer or deciduous. Species of management concern Species within the forest management planning area that have an identified value (social, economic, ecological) and are managed to ensure their continued protection and/or use. This includes species that are hunted or trapped, as well as those that are endangered or threatened. Stand A community of trees sufficiently uniform in species, age, arrangement or condition as to be distinguishable as a grou...
Silviculture. 5. The value added component of the forest industry;
Silviculture. The art and science of controlling the establishment, growth, composition, health, and quality of forests and woodlands to meet the diverse needs and values of landowners and society on a sustainable basis.
Silviculture. The art of producing and tending a forest, the application of the knowledge of silvics in the treatment of a forest, and the theory and practice of controlling and managing forest establishment, composition, and growth (AS 41.17.950 (15)). Skid: To pull logs from the xxxxx to the skidroad or landing. Slash: Debris left after logging; also, large accumulations of debris after wind or fire. It includes logs, chunks, bark, branches, stumps, and broken understory trees or brush. Snags: Dead standing trees or portions thereof. Special Management Zone: Zones along water bodies designated to protect important spawning and rearing habitat and resident fish populations. Within these zones, development activities will be permitted only if they can be shown to have minimal impact on fish habitat and water quality or they can be shown to be of overriding public benefit. Special Use Designation: A document prepared by the Department of Natural Resources that specifies uses of state land that are excluded as a Generally Allowed Use or are limited in their operation to some degree. Derived from 11 AAC 96.010(a), special use designations typically affect a specific geographic and is effective for a period of five years. Spar tree: Tree from which the top and limbs have been cut and used to support the blocks and cables for various systems of logging. Spur road: A short, low-standard road that supports a low level of traffic such as serving one or two landings. State lands: All lands, including shore, tide and submerged lands, or resources belonging to or acquired by the state (AS 38.05.965(20). Sustained yield: The achievement and maintenance in perpetuity of a high level annual or regular periodic output of the various renewable resources of forest land and water without significant impairment of the productivity of the land and water but does not require that timber be harvested in a non-declining yield basis over a rotation period (AS41.17.950(17)). Uplands: Lands above mean high water. Viewsheds: Viewsheds are surfaces visible from a viewpoint on a road corridor or from marine waters. Water bar: A method of erosion control whereby earthen berms are constructed across a road to cause runoff water to drain to the side of the road. Often used to put a road to bed.
Silviculture. The City recognizes that the development of the Property will occur over time and in phases, and that various portions of the Property, which are not required by Developer for active development in accordance with an approved Rezoning, may continue in agricultural use; such as, but not limited to, silviculture, including timber production. The City has no objection to a continued agricultural exemption for ad valorem tax purposes for any portion of the Property used for agricultural purposes prior to non-agricultural development. Moreover, nothing contained herein shall prohibit or preclude the use of the Property or any portion thereof for agricultural/silvicultural or agricultural/silvicultural related purposes, whether prior to or after approval of the Property as master planned community, or vertical development of portions of the Property in accordance with any land use approvals that may be granted relative to the Property. The City has no objection to such agricultural/silvicultural uses or the undeveloped portions of the Property being classified by the Flagler County Property Appraiser as agricultural lands under the provisions of Section 193.461, Florida Statutes, during the period when the Property is being used for such agricultural/silvicultural purposes. Nothing in this Agreement requires Developer to develop the Property, and the parties recognize that Developer may determine to continue its existing agricultural/silvicultural uses on all or part of the Property for an extended period of time. The City agrees that Developer may conduct construction and operation activities within the Property associated with wetland mitigation and/or a wetland mitigation bank, if Developer obtains necessary authorizations from the SJRWMD, ACOE, and other applicable state and federal agencies. Silviculture shall be prohibited in that portion of the Property which consists of wetland areas to be preserved, and those areas immediately adjacent to wetlands which will be used as buffers to the wetland areas, except for wetland and upland enhancement purposes and mitigation approved by the SJRWMD.
Silviculture. Silviculture is the theory and practice of controlling the establishment, composition, structure and growth of forests to achieve specified management objectives. Strata Strata - plural, stratum - singular. These are sub-divisions of forest types (e.g. aspen-xxxxx on clay soil stratum; or xxxx xxxx-blueberry on sand stratum). Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) This describes management that maintains and enhances the long-term health of forest ecosystems for the benefit of all living things while providing environmental, economic, social and cultural opportunities for present and future generations (CCFM 2000).
Silviculture. The Lessor has the right to do tree thinning and cleaning on the Property in accordance with the Lessor’s silviculture programs in areas not worked by the Lessee as described in the Approved Development Plan. The silviculture work must be done under cooperation and the supervision of the Lessee, which supervision shall be arranged through the Area Supervisor.
