Record 5 2004-11-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Forestry Operations
DEF

The rate at which timber is harvested, commonly expressed as an [annual allowable cut](AAC).

CONT

However, these forests are severely threatened. The timber industry is increasing its logging rate. Massive native forest clearance and replacement by tree plantations are well under way, with State Government targets of 10,000 hectares per annum. The remaining forests face threats from fire, disease, new roads, tourism impacts and introduced species.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Exploitation forestière
DEF

Taux de prélèvement du bois en forêt, exprimé généralement en possibilité annuelle de coupe.

CONT

Nous utilisons un système d'information géographique (SIG) et des logiciels de modèles de croissance forestière sophistiqués afin de prévoir les inventaires futurs et des taux de récolte qui assurent la durabilité des forêts.

Record 6 2004-04-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Silviculture
  • Forestry Operations
CONT

net down procedure : The process of identifying the net land base, which is the number of hectares of forest land which actually contribute to the allowable annual cut.

OBS

The process involves "netting down" the TSA [timber supply area] gross area to the TSA gross forest area then to the TSA net forest area.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sylviculture
  • Exploitation forestière
DEF

Ensemble des superficies d'une forêt qui permettent : a) l'accessibilité à des activités d'aménagement forestier, grâce notamment à un accès routier possible et une absence de contraintes opérationnelles comme une pente excessive, par exemple; b) la production d'une quantité minimale de matière ligneuse.

OBS

Le calcul de la possibilité annuelle de coupe s'effectue sur la superficie forestière productive, et non pas sur la superficie forestière totale.
