Fournier, Mathéo V.
Forest regeneration is the act of renewing tree cover by establishing young trees naturally or artificially-generally, promptly after the previous stand or forest has been removed.
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]The method, species, and density are chosen to meet the goal of the landowner.
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Forest regeneration includes practices such as changes in tree plant density through human-assisted natural regeneration, enrichment planting, reduced grazing of forested savannas, and changes in tree provenances/genetics or tree species.
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]"Human-assisted natural regeneration" means establishment of a forest age class from natural seeding or sprouting after harvesting through selection cutting, shelter (or seed-tree) harvest, soil preparation, or restricting the size of a clear-cut stand to secure natural regeneration from surrounding trees.
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]"Enrichment planting" means increasing the planting density (i.e., the numbers of plants per hectare) in an already growing forest stand.
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]This activity influences carbon storage through changes in the growth of aboveground and below-ground tree biomass and changes in wood end use.
Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]This book presents the latest research from around the world.
