This guide will help forest management personnel in north-western Ontario select and use mechanical site preparation equipment in order to produce growing conditions suitable for germination and growth of seedlings. Information in the guide is presented in three sections: biological considerations for good site preparation, including the major factors affecting seedling survival and growth; mechanical site preparation categories, including screefing, inverting, trenching, mixing, and subsoiling, as well as microsite requirements of crop trees (jack pine, black or white spruce, red pine) by site preparation category; and representative examples of postharvest site conditions and site preparation results achieved, as observed in a photo series of typical site preparation case studies from across north-western Ontario. Each photo set documents pre- and post-site preparation conditions after harvesting and includes a rating of site plantability and receptivity achieved by the site preparation equipment. Includes glossary.

Field guide to techniques of mechanical site preparation only, not including prescribed burning or chemical treatments, detailed discussion of the biological principles and objectives of scarification, or of operational techniques used in mechanical site preparation. Northern British Columbia includes the sub-boreal spruce, interior cedar-hemlock, Engelmann spruce-subalpine fir, and boreal white and black spruce biogeoclimatic zones in the Prince Rupert, Prince George, and Cariboo Forest Regions. The guide describes 25 types of equipment currently in use or with potential for use; information on 1987 prices, productivity rates and treatment costs, and availability; descriptions of various site preparation objectives and the machines suited to each, a reference table for determining the ability of each type of equipment to perform under different site conditions, and mechanical site preparation interpretations for treatment units in the various zones; and a listing of other publications and research bodies which serve as sources of additional information.

Describes a new provisional classification of forest humus forms within forests of the boreal and Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence forest regions of north-western Ontario. Four major orders are recognized: mulls, moders, mors, and peatymors. Humus form groups are defined and described, and methodologies and approaches for humus form recognition in the field are briefly discussed. The first-approximation classification system permits identification of 11 forest humus form subgroups in north-western Ontario. The hierarchical system consists of a field key and a set of one-page summaries that describe each of the humus form subgroups. Common organic layer thickness ranges, the relative occurrence and distribution of the forest humus forms, and other data are summarized in relation to north- western Ontario's Forest Ecosystem Classification plot network. Forest humus forms are related to soil/site conditions, vegetation, general climate, and forest management practices in the region are also considered.

This manual is directed toward the evaluation and classification of forest land in north-west Ontario for timber production, with the primary objective of providing tools for a quantitative evaluation of the capability of forest land to produce tree growth. The first few chapters describe methods for estimating forest site quality, including direct methods based on measuring site index from standing trees and indirect methods based on soil and topographic features. The manual also provides a complementary framework showing relationships between site quality, forest-landscape classification, and growth and yield. This framework accommodates other land values that are in addition to timber production. A final chapter suggests how application of this integrated framework can produce a diversified forest landscape having a spectrum of management intensities, a variety of site-specific silvicultural practices, and a variety of forest land values and uses.
