| Our research and technology transfer are
results driven. Much of our information is
provided to members on a personal contact
basis through field visits and a successful
workshop series detailing forest production
and silvicultural relationships. Workshops
typically include lectures, field trips,
readings, and much discussion. Almost 1900
people have attended our workshops over the
last five years. Workshop
topics include:
- Defining potential
productivity
- The ecophysiological
basis for forest production
- An integrated
silvicultural systems approach to
managing resource availability and
stand growth
- Nutrient cycling and
nutrient use in forest stands
- Root growth and soil
properties
- Logging damage and
amelioration
- Soil classification
and mapping
- Responses and
prescription guidelines for young
stands including species/genotype
selection, bedding, disking,
subsoiling, vegetation control,
fertilization, insect control, and
interactions among treatments
- Responses and
prescription guidelines for
intermediate-aged stands including
thinning, vegetation control,
fertilization, and their interactions
