Forest management is define as the process of controlling uses and over exploitation of forest area.
Many companies such as timber companies can sustain the forest management. By using the sustainable development principles the sustainable forest can be managed.
Types of forest management
1. Timber harvesting
Timber harvesting is a practice which is used to enhance the health of woodland and wildlife for economic and industrial purpose for example paper production industries and also creating routes for facilitating pathway. There are following methods of timber harvesting,
Shelter-wood
Clear cutting
Seed tree cutting
2. Timber thinning
Trees can compete for following resources under the natural conditions. The slow growing tree cannot survive and even died, but fast growing tree can survive fast. Timber thinning problems can be solves by forest management. Forest management has two types
• Pre-commercial thinning
• commercial timber thinning
3. Prescribed burning
This practice is used to prevent from fire hazard and burning can enable the plant growth and animals feed and also retard the effect of insect and diseases in forest.
4. Reforestation
Reforestation is a technique in which plants are again regrow by,
Natural regeneration and artificial reforestation.
5. Forest succession Forest succession is practice by which predictable change in the dominant species of forest plants. Forest succession have five methods,
Nidation .
Invasion.
Reaction.
Competition and Co-action.
Climax or Stabilization.
Benefits of forest management
Forest management have following benefits,
•Trees conserve water and reduce soil erosion.
•Trees save energy.
•Reduce air pollution.
•Trees enhanced beauty and improve personal health.
•Retarded noise pollution
•Trees modify local climate.
•Trees increase economic stability.
•Trees fight the atmospheric greenhouse effect.
•Trees creat plant diversity.
•Provide habitat for wildlife.
Disadvantage of forest management
1.High risk of forest fires due to human omitting behavior.
2.High cost involved in maintaining and sustainability of forests
3.Impact on wildlife due to human activities that leads to the destruction of natural habitats and having detrimental impact on plants communities.
4.There is a risk of soil erosion and landslides and cracks in mountains in forests.
5.The cutting down of forests leads to a loss in biodiversity and disturbed natural resources.
6.The growth cycle of a tree depends on many factors such as climate, soil quality, geography, and other environmental factors such as elevation and exposure to light. This cannot be achieved without forest management.
7.Its leaves scar on the environment.
8.It affects the hydrological cycle.
