UPDATE on Recommended Framework for Research, Monitoring & Demonstration Needs for Landscape Allocation -- Mike Liquori 10/21/09 |
...What is the Purpose for Landscape Allocation?We define Landscape Allocation as the process for setting apart portions of the landscape for a particular purpose. Thus, the Research Committee is working under the assumption that the purpose for Landscape Allocation is to: · Support the 3 Mission-Oriented Research Priorities for JDSF, including: o Sustainable Production Forestry (including Natural Forestry) o Watershed Science, Restoration & Aquatic Habitat Recovery o Redwood Ecosystem Ecology & Dynamics · Provide substantial areas for the development & maintenance of older forest structures that will broaden the distribution of forest structures both within JDSF and across the region · To provide an opportunity (venue) for sustaining viable research[1], demonstration & monitoring activities that promote the goals of the management plan. These goals include: o Ecosystem Restoration o A Sustained Yield Of Timber Products o Recreation Opportunities [1] NOTE: level of research planning may not need to be extensive, since CALFIRE is not a research organization.
