Salvage Logging and Reforestration
Compare the two articles/papers here and see what you think.
http://oregonstate.edu/dept/ncs/news...3/biscuit1.htm http://www.fire-ecology.org/science/Beschta_Report.pdf Both are from the University of Oregon. The Beshta report has been around since 1995 and is used to this day as the greens' primary source to appeal/litigate against salvage logging. The "biscuit" article flies in the face of the Beshta report in that it maintains that without rapid reforestration the area will never regenerate into a natural coniferous forest. To accomplish the reforestration salvage logging must take place first. This article dates from this July. Any comments on the two articles or salvage logging in particular? I for one think the Beshta report is 1) outdated; 2) Has applicability mostly for PNW forests and not PP and other dry type forests; 3) Proposes a Utopian approach to forests which just isn't workable or realistic and is wrong, or less than adequate, on other counts as well. |
