Excerpt from Skyline Logging Productivity Under Alternative Harvesting Prescriptions and Levels of Utilization in Larch-Fir Stands
Intensive wood utilization can have positive or negative environmental impacts, depending on the level of utilization, harvesting methods, and ecosystem response. ‘although some general information is available from past studies about responses hydrology, flora, and fauna-the net results of applying increasing levels of timber utilization have not been adequately determined. Hence, a study was designed for the larch-fir type in Montana (fig. 1) to monitor biological-ecological responses to an array of alternative silvicultural and utilization timber harvesting prescriptions.
