This guide is a technical support document intended to help forestry practitioners collect the information they need to prepare a silvicultural treatment regime and silviculture prescription in accordance with British Columbia Forest Practices Code legislation. It deals primarily with the collection & stratification of site-specific field data. After information on office preparation, stratification, plot establishment, and mapping procedures, the guide presents data collection procedures for silviculture prescription field forms. Copies of forms are included in the appendix. The data cover such matters as site characteristics, understorey & overstorey, soils, riparian & watershed values, soil & fire hazards, silvicultural systems & objectives, harvesting, forest health, stand tending, and forest resource values.

A silviculture prescription is a site-specific plan that describes the forest management objectives for an area. A prescription prescribes the method for harvesting the existing forest stand and a series of silviculture treatments that will be carried out to establish a free growing crop of trees in a manner that accommodates other resource values as identified. This document describes the contents of what silviculture prescription plans must contain in British Columbia to comply with the Forest Practices Code. It includes information on general requirements for the plan as well as specific requirements for tenure identification, management objectives, degree of consistency with other plans, ecological and resource information, forest health assessment and prescription, soil conservation, actions to accommodate forest resource values, silvicultural systems, harvesting, fire hazard abatement, silviculture treatments, stocking standards, and mapping.

This report is a review of published literature on calcareous soils and their role in the productivity of coniferous forests in southwestern British Columbia and western Alberta. Definitions, origins, and properties of calcareous soils are described. Processes contributing to growth limitations on calcareous soils are reviewed. Chemical properties of calcareous soils may give rise to tree nutrition problems or other metabolic disturbances. Physical properties of calcareous soils may also affect tree growth through compacting or cementing effects. Factors controlling productivity on calcareous soils are discussed with particular reference to coniferous species in western Canada. Depth to carbonates in the soil profile appears to be an important factor in the establishment and productivity of coniferous stands in western Canada. Forest practices resulting in displacement of calcareous subsoils and implications of calcareous soil displacement are identified. Although instances where decreases in forest productivity on calcareous soils have been identified, calcareous soils do not appear to have a consistently adverse effect on productivity. Attributes of soils and other site factors must be identified to determine the role of calcareous soils in stand establishment and productivity.
