Abstract Tegegne, F., E.
Ekanem, S. Muhhammad and S. Singh. 2007. A system for monitoring forest management: a case study from DOI: 10.4029/2007jemrest3no120 The
purpose of this paper is to discuss a monitoring system developed for State Forest
Management in (1) Regeneration encompassing both cutting and
planting for red pine, aspen residual removal, oak shelterwood cuts, site
conversion to European larch and improved aspen. (2) Timber-stand improvement covering cuttings
in northern hardwood to improve volume/value as well as pruning white pine
poles. Stratified
proportional probability sampling is used for regeneration and timber stand improvement
activities. Two criteria used for stratification are state forest area and
size of stands as reflected by the number of acres treated. Under each
management activity, tasks to be undertaken are specified along with a goal
to be achieved. Cost and revenue accounting is necessary to capture all costs
and revenues associated with the management activities identified above. Cost
categories include stand establishment, harvest and sales costs. Similarly,
revenues generated by various practices should also be documented. The system
developed in this paper, which can be adopted by others with appropriate
modification, is useful to monitor progress in forest management. |
