Western Redcedar Site Index Models for the Interior of British Columbia
This paper develops models to predict top height, site index, and years to breast height for western redcedar, Thuja plicata, on interior British Columbia sites. Stem analysis & ecological data were collected from 46 plots in the interior cedar-hemlock and interior Douglas-fir biogeoclimatic zones. Four site trees were stem analyzed from each plot. These data were converted into top height-breast height age, growth intercept, years to breast height, and site index data. A site index, growth intercept, and years to breast height model were then fit to the data.
An Early History of the Research Branch, British Columbia Ministry of Forests and Range
Based on archival material and interviews with previous employees, this document traces the history of research within the B.C. Forest Service from 1912 to 1970. The B.C. Forest Branch was created in February 1912, but research activities didn't begin until 1921 when James (Alex) Alexander studied timber utilization, logging slash disposal, natural regeneration, tree growth and yield, and fire protection. In 1923 Assistant Chief Forester Robert St. Clair recommended the establishment of forest experimental stations in the major forest types of the province, resulting in the Aleza Lake Experiment Station near Prince George (in 1924) and the Cowichan Lake Research Station on Vancouver Island (...
Stream Hydrology
Since the publication of the first edition (1994) there have been rapid developments in the application of hydrology, geomorphology and ecology to stream management. In particular, growth has occurred in the areas of stream rehabilitation and the evaluation of environmental flow needs. The concept of stream health has been adopted as a way of assessing stream resources and setting management goals. Stream Hydrology: An Introduction for Ecologists Second Edition documents recent research and practice in these areas. Chapters provide information on sampling, field techniques, stream analysis, the hydrodynamics of moving water, channel form, sediment transport and commonly used statistical meth...
