A CALL FOR SOUND SCIENCE ON THE MANAGEMENT OF ECOLOGICAL STAGES OF TREES AND THEIR ASSOCIATES.

Herein I will refer to both the "Prescribed Burn Project", advertised on
November 30, 2001, and the "Keller Road Fence Project", advertised on
December 3, 2001, as the "Burn and Clearcut Project".
With respect to the “Burn and Clearcut Project” on the Allegheny National Forest.

In this paper I am focusing on the false premise that trees (symplastless or not) are dead, and non-ecologically functioning in respect to the references submitted.

Abstract

Lets Take A Closer Look At Logging

1. Standing or Fallen Symplastless Trees - Dead or Alive?

2. Coarse Woody Debris - Water/Moisture.

3. Coarse Woody Debris – Nutrients and Essential Elements

4. Coarse Woody Debris – Reduction of Browsing of Sensitive Plants

5. Coarse Woody Debris – Plant Bio-Diversity / Endangered Species

6. Coarse Woody Debris – Fungi Diversity – Mycorrhizae – Bacteria / Endangered Species

7. Coarse Woody Debris – Animals / Endangered Species

8. Coarse Woody Debris – Temperature

9. Coarse Woody Debris - Other Habitat and Potential Niches

10. Coarse Woody Debris – Insects and Other Bonogens / Endangered Species

11. Coarse Woody Debris – Humic Acids, Horizons, Buffers and pH

12. Coarse Woody Debris – Soil Erosion – Soil Mixing – Churning

13. Coarse Woody Debris – Present to Future Wood Quality

14. Coarse Woody Debris – Some Recommendations Made

15. Coarse Woody Debris - Space

16. Coarse Woody Debris – Fire Protection
