Emerging results from experimental work conducted by Forestry Tasmania in the mid-1990’s helped them to advise the State government on feasible clearfelling alternatives in 2005. This advice included a recommendation for a

The one-day workshop has been created to provide background and useful steps in designing true Effectiveness Evaluations, and differentiating them from other types of evaluations or monitoring. The workshop focuses on a process to develop effective indicators. Case studies are used to highlight successful approaches. The workshop is made up of modules that cover the following. Why monitor or evaluate? The initial module provides an introduction on why we monitor or evaluate and how important framing the initial question is. That is what is it we want to know? The question drives the approach.

Andrews Uneven-Even Aged Management Project was undertaken to explore ecological and economical compatibility among silvicultural options for converting 40- to 50-year-old Douglas-fir plantations (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) in western Oregon to mixed-species and uneven-aged condition. Three silvicultural prescriptions for conversion are being evaluated: (1) individual tree selection (light thin), (2) group selection (groups cuts, light thin of matrix and mixed species planting of gaps), and (3) heavy thin with mixed-species underplanting. In all three treatments, timing of subsequent entries will be based on stands achieving specified thresholds of relative density. The three treatments, as well as an untreated-control, were applied to stands 10-ha or larger and replicated in four blocks. Initial harvest entries occurred in 1999 with vegetation conditions being measured in 1997-98 (pretreatment) and in 2001 and 2003. This poster presentation summarizes herbaceous...
