| Caractériser la gestion en futaie irrégulière irregular forest management Explanation: I'm no expert but from what I can gather an irregular forest structure is one which is composed of different ages of trees (cf Francis's answer), but which also has a ragged edge replicating a more natural form rather than the blocks of trees which can often be seen in managed woodlands. An irregular forest is also composed of different species of trees rather than a single uniform block (which would be characterised as a "regular forest"). See eg a summary of one professor's research into irregular forests entitled: "Modelling wood properties of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) in forests undergoing transformation into irregular structures (Scottish Forestry Trust)" from http://www.abdn.ac.uk/biologicalsci/staff/details/a.d.camero... And from another site (www.sciencedirect.com) - "Transformation from a regular forest to a full irregular one is a long and difficult task which needs time and frequent intervention. Looking back over Swiss experience allows us to analyse the reasons for success and failure. One of the main reasons for transformation failure is that differentiation has been established too evenly over the entire surface and has been begun too late. The tendency towards forming over-regular two-storied stands increases if it is not possible to maintain adequate crown cover of the upper storey over the entire transformation period. This is linked to the ageing of the first generation main trees and to good crown formation." Below are another couple of other links using the term "irregular forest". Hope this helps.

See also: Titre : La planification et le contrôle en **futaie irrégulière** : évolution de l'aménagement forestier en Allemagne Autres titres : Management and control using **uneven-aged silvicultural systems** - Developments in German forest planning Auteurs : OTTO (Hans-Jürgen) http://documents.irevues.inist.fr/handle/2042/5731 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-06-08 12:26:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- An interesting web page to clarify the isssue: http://frederickcountyforestryboard.googlepages.com/strongho...’sdemonstrationforest Even VS Uneven Aged Management The stands in the demonstration forest have been arranged to show two broad forest management schemes, namely even aged forests (1, 2, and 3) and uneven aged forests (4, 5). Even aged management refers to a harvest which removes most of the canopy in one or two consecutive harvests. This results in a stand of trees which are nearly the same age. **Uneven aged management** refers to a series of harvests which never completely remove the canopy from the forest. This method creates a forest with numerous age classes. A possible translation for "caractériser la gestion en futaie irrégulière" : "to identify the uneven-aged type of forest management scheme" / "to characterize the forest management scheme as uneven-aged" depending on context. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-06-08 12:28:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, the above link is corrupt: http://frederickcountyforestryboard.googlepages.com/strongho...’sdemonstrationforest |
