Field margins. The treatment of the strip of ground, or field margin, adjacent to the hedge, has important effects on the establishment of the hedge, and on its developing wildlife value. Avoid routine cultivation of this strip, but either mow it to form a grass sward, or preferably sow it with a mixture of wildflowers and grasses. This type of mix is less vigorous than commercial strains of grass, and will compete less with the hedge for nutrients, and will require less frequent cutting. Its value for invertebrates and other organisms will be much higher than a mown grass sward. ... The width of the field margin will depend on the type of crop being grown, and on grants and other commercial factors. 2, record 1, English, - field%20margin

La bordure de champs est la partie qui longe les cultures et qui est définie par une bande végétalisée s’étendant de 1 à 5 mètres. Elle permet une séparation marquée du champ cultivé contigu à un autre champ, une route, un chemin ou une forêt. Elle abrite une biodiversité variée et réclame d’être entretenue.

Le ministère des Richesses naturelles de l'Ontario et la compagnie Domtar ont entrepris la mise en œuvre d’une méthode de gestion des écosystèmes dans la forêt de White River au nord-est du lac Supérieur. Selon ces deux organismes, une telle méthode est nécessaire pour pouvoir atteindre les objectifs de durabilité et de maintien de la biodiversité. Leur méthode consiste à modeler les perturbations d’origine humaine à des perturbations naturelles très bien simulées. Les écosystèmes et les espèces de cette partie de la forêt boréale ont évolué en fonction des perturbations naturelles ou s’y sont adaptés. 2, record 2, French, - Plan%20de%20gestion%20du%20bois%20de%20White%20River

There is a 40-acre stand of ancient trees near Chester, California in the heart of the dryland timber forest. The stand is dominated by towering 500-year-old, 200-foot Ponderosa pines. These trees, which were seedlings when Columbus landed in the Americas, are lucky to have missed an appointment with the chainsaw, because they've been owned by a logging company since the turn of the century. 1, record 3, English, - timber%20forest

Both as Canadians and as members of the forest community, we have come together to set a vision and a strategy for the nations's forest. We see ourselves as responsible stewards, who want Canada's forest to be healthy and managed sustainably so that its functions, biodiversity, resilience and productivity are maintained over the long term. The health of the forest is directly linked to environmental processes on local, regional and international scales as well as to the social, cultural, spiritual and economic wellbeing of us all. As a result, we want to improve our understanding of how we are a part of how we affect the forest - in short, to act on our increasingly informed understanding to become even better stewards of our forest resource. 1, record 6, English, - National%20Forest%20Strategy
