research finding. There is indication that lowland areas experienced less moderate severity fire, but higher amounts of high and low severity fire than the upland position. Support: Weakly supported. Guideline: Harvest prescriptions should include some areas adjacent to lowland riparian features that contain ranges of retention from very low levels that would emulate a high severity fire and higher levels of retention that would emulate a low severity fire. Further Research: None.
research finding. Fire is difficult to mimic at the stand level because fire leaves almost all of the woody debris on site. Landscapes dominated by high severity fire have higher levels of coarse woody debris present in the form of standing snags shortly after the fire, and fallen snags in the immature replacement stand. Landscapes dominated by low and mixed severity fire generally have lower amounts of CWD, but it likely exists in a greater range. Support: Moderately supported. Guideline #: SBS/SBPS 15 Management Guideline Title: Natural Fire and Prescribed Fire Type: Landscape Level Research Finding: Fire is noted to have important ecological affects on the landscape that are not emulated through harvesting. Support: Strongly supported. Guideline: Some, or portions, of naturally occurring fires should not be salvaged and should be left for biodiversity, and as part of a naturally occurring stand type in the range of natural variability. Further Research: Further study on the effects of the removal of fire from the landscape should be considered, and the potential for prescribed fire assessed to replace naturally occurring fire. Guideline #: SBS/SBPS 16 Management Guideline Title: Regenerating stand densities. Type: Stand Level Research Finding: Dense lodgepole pine stands are noted to regenerate after fire. The lowest stocking level found for young natural stands (50 yrs old) on in the SBSmk1 was 2,224 sph > 7.5 dbh. Managed stands vary considerably in density depending on whether natural or artificial regeneration is used and the rate of ingress from naturally regenerated stems. Natural stands are noted to have higher levels of coarse woody debris through self-thinning than managed stands of lower densities. Support: Moderately supported. Guideline #: SBS/SBPS 17 Management Guideline Title: Non-forested areas. Type: Stand Level. Research Finding: Different vegetation regimes can result from fire, fire severity is variable within individual fire boundaries creating variation in vegetation pattern. An attempt to at least create similar proportions of non-forest (e.g., willow, alder) and forested habitat types and forests of similar tree composition and structure should be made. Support: Moderately supported. Guideline: Stand level planning should attempt to leave similar proportions of forested and non- forested vegetation types as was present in the original stand. Any roads or landings that are no longer operationally required could be considered to be rehabilitated to a...
research finding. The general consensus is that there was significantly less dense regeneration and poles in historic ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-fir stands than there is today, but there is no data available to set any numerical targets. It is likely that regeneration was spatially distributed in patches or small clumps. Support: Moderately Supported.
research finding. Riparian Reserve Zones established under the Forests Practices Code will likely continue to be designated as WTPs. In areas where the landscape is dominated by wetlands (i.e. between Lac La Hache Lake and Snag Lake) this will lead to an imbalance, where almost all WTPs will be located adjacent to wetland features or on inoperable rocky areas. Narrow reserves embedded with a continuous fuel complex are not considered sustainable. Large ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-fir trees, considered important wildlife features, are at risk to fire damage if they are surrounded by large numbers of small stems from historic fire suppression (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 2002). Support: Moderately Supported.
