Tree Spacing In Reforestation

Next major factor that should consider in reforestation area is a layout of tree planting. For new forest area, the mix species within forested area and its distribution will be determined. According Williams (2003) there are three alternatives for establishments of the tree, either planted in groups, in lines or in an intimate mixture. For in group planting, the system in a mixed planting tree group which varies from 20 to 60 of each species will grow at the same rate, guarantee the survival of all the species and resulting in a forest area that has all species (Williams, 2003). Therefore, this is a healthy and simple technique which can maximise the long-term value of the forest. Second tree planting layout technique is in lines, this choice …show more content…

Tree spacing
Tree spacing is also a crucial method or factor for replanting of a forest tree. According William (2003) tree spacing can differ according to the types of species being planted and the type of forest desired and will affect future management practice. Regular spacing is much easier to manage, especially when the trees are small as it is easier to find when it is in rows.

2.4 Silviculture practises in nature forest regeneration Maintenance of tree before and after planting crucial for ensuring better growth, development and quality of new trees. Therefore, silviculture system is broadly applied in a reforested area to control the establishment, growth, composition, and quality of forest vegetation and create natural regeneration of forest. According FAO (1998) silviculture is a set of techniques that can be applied to help achieve specific forest management objectives. However, Medves (2009) mentioned that a silviculture system is practised that help to ensure maximum productivity, value and support forest …show more content…

Trees are grown in combination of agricultural and forestry technologies to produce more assorted, productive, profitable, healthy, and sustainable land-use systems which well known as agroforestry. The specific objectives of silviculture in Agroforestry are to improve the productivity of forest lands, shorten the time frame to harvest and increase the value of the fibre growth (Medves, 2009). However, according Medves (2009) common objective of silviculture is to protect resource by making the forest more flexible to climate change, insect infestations and also to help minimize the impacts of natural

The explorer’s initial reports brought in people who came to make a profit off the forest and the vast amounts of lumber it could provide. Lumber mills were built before the area was even added to the union. The environmental footprint started out small, but the lack of regulation, lack of enforcement of the existing regulations, and an increase in technology quickly created a large environmental battle over the whole region.

    The Kennesaw State Arboretum is spilt from an upslope and a downslope which was examined to seeing the difference in age and size of the hardwood and pine trees. The variation of age and size can be due to changes in the progressive changes in the tree species over time. This was tested by measuring pine and hardwood trees in 2 different areas of the forest, upslope and downslope, collecting tree data with at least 25cm circumference and 10 ft. tall in 5 different plots of 100 m2. The data describes the hypothesis that if the upslope and downslope parts of the forest differ in age, then the size of the eldest hardwood trees of the upslope and downslope will differ. If the upslope and downslope parts of the forest are different ages, then the forest will differ in proportion of mature hardwood relative to pine.

Later, in 1918, the Save-the-Redwoods League was established and took charge of the redwood conservation movement in Northern California. From the very beginning, however, various women’s clubs and organizations both helped the Sempervirens Club and Save-the-Redwoods League as well as campaigned actively for the tree’s preservation. Both in San Jose and Humboldt County of Northern California, women were key in the success of the movement. Thanks to the various redwood conservation groups and their interactions with women’s conservation clubs and groups,

  • The Negative Effects Of Reforestation

    It would therefore be more realistic to encourage all parties involved in the process of deforestation to manage the resources of the forest in a sustainable way. This means that the usage of the methods of clear-cutting and burning would have to be eliminated if the forest ecosystem is to be able to remain intact. If certain trees need to be cut down, however, then theses should be replaced by enough young trees which can fill the same role to an equal extent as the ones which are cut down. Here it’s important to acknowledge that it’s impossible to eliminate deforestation completely since the growing population puts a high demand for more land which is used for agricultural purposes. Therefore the solution must include keeping a balance between deforestation and efforts of reforestation, sustainable management of forests and respecting the integrity of protected

    Deforestation: Good or Bad? By Tristan McDermott (Final Copy) Deforestation is a controversial environmental issue, with some people believing that it is necessary to cut down trees to make room for things such as buildings and roads, while others believe that it is bad because it is destroying the environment. I believe that deforestation, while it does have a few positive effects, mainly has negative effects that massively outweigh the positive effects. According to an article written by National Geographic, (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/global-warming/deforestation/) deforestation is a major contributor to global warming: “Trees also play a critical role in absorbing the greenhouse gases that fuel global warming.

  • Essay On Forest Management

    Sustainable forest management requires three major criteria which are the maintenance of ecological processes within the forest (soil formation, energy flow, biogeochemical cycles (carbon, nutrient and hydrological cycles), maintenance of biodiversity of forest, improving the net social benefits derived from the mixture of forest uses within the constraints by considering the future. Forest provides habitats for more than half of the fauna and flora on the Earth (SCBD, 2001). Forest biome plays an important role in mitigating climate change by serving as carbon sinks (Hassan et al., 2005). Forest land is the most fundamental natural resources which become reduced mainly due to anthropogenic pressures. For proper management of land, it is essential to have information about existing land cover and about the naturalness of the land.
