  • In the far left and right some forest stands remain on rock outcrops. (mushroaming.com)
  • Here forest stands remain most commonly along creeks and on rocky outcrops. (mushroaming.com)
  • The increasing proportion of birches makes the removal of birches even more urgent and emphasizes the need for careful management of Scots pine stands under rising temperatures. (silvafennica.fi)

  • This paper describes results of FROSTFIRE, a forest fire experiment carried out in July 1999 and also surveys results of the Donnelly Flats forest fire in June 1999 from the point of view of forest fire behavior. (frames.gov)
  • In the following summer (1999), forest plots were established, and forest inventory data were collected to quantify damage and track recovery in areas of Vermont and New Hampshire, USA that were affected by the ice storm. (uvm.edu)

  • The Credit River and nearby urban watersheds were home to several types of forests including, among others, sugar maple, oak-hickory, ash and hemlock. (wpioneer.com)
  • The American chestnut (Castanea dentata) was a common component in Appalachian oak-pine forests prior to the chestnut blight in the early 1900s. (nynhp.org)
  • By 1950, the once common chestnut was reduced to decomposing trunks and stumps, some of which can still be found in Appalachian oak-pine forests today. (nynhp.org)
  • Strive to minimize fragmentation of large forest blocks by focusing development on forest edges, minimizing the width of roads and road corridors extending into forests, and designing cluster developments that minimize the spatial extent of the development. (nynhp.org)
  • Forest fragmentation is more common in the cloud forest belt (2,700 m-3,500 m). (mushroaming.com)
  • A furthrer rise in temperature magnifies the above patterns by reducing further the competitive capacity of Scots pine in relation to birches. (silvafennica.fi)
  • The number and acreage of Appalachian oak-pine forests in New York have probably declined substantially from historical numbers likely correlated with past logging, agiculture, and other development. (nynhp.org)
  • When occurring in expansive forests, the largest threat to the integrity of Appalachian oak-pine forests are activities that fragment the forest into smaller pieces. (nynhp.org)
