Californias Hardwood Resource PDF Download

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Symposium on Multiple-Use Management of California's Hardwood Resources: November 12-14, 1986, San Luis Obispo, California The Symposium on the Ecology, Management, and Utilization of California Oaks held in June 1979 at Claremont, California, was the first to take a comprehensive look at California's native oak resource. At that time, interest in several species of California oaks was rapidly growing with particular concern about their regeneration, preservation, and wildlife relationships. Urbanization and loss of oak woodlands was beginning to focus a new facet of concern on hardwoods, and regulations to monitor their use were established or seriously considered by a number of county governments. Until that time, hardwood research was extremely limited, mostly in a few specialized areas, and probably more time and effort had been spent to control hardwoods than to grow and manage them. What has happened with hardwoods in the 7 years after the first oak symposium? A comparison of the numbers of papers and participants between the two meetings indicates the interest that has developed in hardwoods during this time. In 1979, about 200 people heard 52 reports. In 1986, there were 73 technical reports plus 2 keynote addresses and 12 poster presentations and over 500 participants. In addition to this large increase in symposium participation, a number of other hardwood-related developments have occurred including these.
