Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the logging industry's near complete harvesting method, a practice that removes not only usable logs but also all remaining sound dead trees and portions of live trees to maximize attainable resources. This revolutionary method was tested in Wyoming's Union Pass area, where it proved to increase fiber yield by up to 35% while reducing fire hazards and site cleanup costs. Its implementation showcases the burgeoning environmental consciousness within the logging industry and underscores the growing importance of sustainable practices. The book delves deeply into the processes involved in near complete harvesting, providing a comprehensive guide to its benefits and drawbacks, making it an invaluable resource for forestry professionals and anyone interested in the sustainable management of our natural resources. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the design and performance of a forest road built in the Idaho Batholith region, an area known for its steep, fragile, and erodible soils. The construction of the China Glenn Road in 1970 aimed to balance the need for resource extraction with the preservation of the delicate ecosystem. The author delves into the challenges encountered during construction, including the control of surface water, prevention of slope failures, and revegetation efforts. Through a detailed analysis of the road's performance over six years, the book offers valuable insights into effective road design principles for similar environments. It highlights the importance of minimizing environmental impact, controlling water flow, and utilizing sustainable construction practices. The lessons learned from the China Glenn Road study provide a valuable reference for engineers, land managers, and anyone interested in responsible road construction in sensitive ecosystems.

In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the impacts of logging and the construction of forest roads, presenting a case study that assesses the environmental consequences of harvesting and the attendant road construction on the Coram Experimental Forest in Montana. The author was involved in road construction in National Forest Systems and Research for over 22 years, and shares valuable insights gained from their experience. The author's research delved into the environmental impacts of logging and road construction. The study demonstrated how to locate, design, and construct a road with reduced impacts on the environment, while still serving the near-minimum needs of traffic volumes, vehicle sizes, and logging equipment. The book highlights the importance of balancing resource utilization with environmental preservation. It demonstrates how a single-lane road with reduced clearing widths and carefully planned construction can significantly reduce esthetic impacts and minimize hydrologic disruption compared to traditional practices. The author emphasizes the value of fitting the road to the terrain, using drainage and erosion control measures, and implementing revegetation efforts. The book concludes with a discussion of the trade-offs between environmental impacts and user costs, emphasizing the importance of evaluating these factors when determining road standards. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
