Ponderosa pines are the most important timber producing species in Mexico, and they also represent a major portion of the USA and Canada timber production. These pines form near pure stands with simple and stable stand structure. They suffer only occasional disturbances, and they sustain a limited capacity to hold biodiversity and other environmental services. The driving force in the stand dynamics is a need for direct light during all their lives. Most ponderosas can successfully regenerate under partial shade, but they must be released soon afterwards. Seedlings appear almost immediately after upper canopy removal, even in years of poor seed production, as long as a thin litter and duff layer forms a proper seed bed. If no such organic layer in the soil is present, leaving partial shade of 40 to 60 % from the overstory will provide protection until vigorous and uniform regeneration can close crowns. This publication was made possible by the economic support of the National Forestry Commission (CONAFOR).

Download Ecology, Silviculture, and Management of Black Hills Ponderosa Pine Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This paper presents a broad-based synthesis of the general ecology of the ponderosa pine ecosystem in the Black Hills. This synthesis contains information and results of research on ponderosa pine from numerous sources within the Black Hills ecosystem. We discuss the silvical characteristics of ponderosa pine, natural disturbances that govern ecosystem processes, wildlife habitat and management, various silvicultural methods to manage ponderosa pine forests, and watershed management of the Black Hills.

Download Silviculture of Southwestern Ponderosa Pine Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Describes the status of our knowledge of ponderosa pine silviculture in the southwestern States of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. Economic value, impact on other uses, and the timber resource are discussed first, followed by ecological background, site quality, growth and yield, and silviculture and management. Relevant literature is discussed along with observations, experience, and results of unpublished research. Treatise is intended to serve as a reference tool for guidance in making management decisions and prescribing silvicultural treatments. Research needs are also considered.

Download Silvicultural Systems and Cutting Methods for Ponderosa Pine Forests in the Front Range of the Central Rocky Mountains Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Guidelines are provided to help forest managers and silviculturists develop even- and/or uneven-aged cutting practices needed to convert old-growth and mixed ponderosa pine forests in the Front Range into managed stands for a variety of resource needs. Guidelines consider stand conditions, and insect and disease susceptibility. Cutting practices are designed to integrate maintained water quality, improved wildlife habitat, and enhanced opportunities for recreation and scenic viewing, with providing wood products.

Download Management of Ponderosa Pine in Even-aged Stands in the Southwest Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Abstract: Potential production of ponderosa pine in the Southwest is simulated for various combinations of stand density, site index, age, and thinningschedule. Such estimates are needed to project future development of stands managed in different ways.

Download Management of Ponderosa Pine in the Southwest, as Developed by Research and Experimental Practice Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) is the most widely distributed conifer in North America, and one of the most valuable. Commercial stands of the species are found in all of the 15 States which lie wholly or in part west of the 102d merinian, and in all but one it rank among the most important lumber producers. In the Southwest, ponderosa pine is of particular importance since this one species makes up 88 percent of the standing saw-timber volume in the two States of Arizona and New Mexico.
