Alberta Regeneration Survey Manual

Alberta adopted forest regeneration standards to ensure prompt reforestation following harvest; adequate stocking, survival and growth rates, and a level of performance that emulates natural yields found in Alberta's forests. This manual provides the regeneration standards and survey procedures that are to be used to determine levels of re-growth and performance of desirable tree species on harvested forest lands.--Includes text from document.

Report providing a subjective assessment of the scope, applicability, and overall reliability of existing published references related to natural regeneration of white, Engelmann, and black spruce in North America and a synopsis of references on the subject. The references are listed alphabetically by author for each of 563 references, based on a dBASE IV database coded according to 105 keywords. The database allows the user to search geographically, by species of spruce, by forest section within Canada, or by any of the keywords listed. The emphasis is on white spruce in a boreal mixedwood setting but also includes information on natural regeneration of Engelmann spruce and upland black spruce, plus a limited amount of Norway spruce. Most of the references are from the 1990s.
