After we have our management plan related to www, then it comes to a question: how could we decide the thinning percentage? How can we minimize the harm to the forest as the honorable harvest suggest?
The plot is chosen from an area of high intervention priorities. Circles are to present carbon sequestration, and the wood wide web is visualized as the network between trees.
After Preserving the mother tree and applied the mycorrhizal product, We compare how much we give and take, and find out that tinning 30% is the most appropriate way in this area.
As a result, When wood production is not considered, we'd better leave the forest to grow naturally. When timber production is needed, we can apply the 30% thinning in this area. In this way, we can build a reciprocal relationship.
9F is an area of mature broadleaves, and it will be used as a wood production site. After the simulation, we can come to a conclusion. When timber production is needed, we can apply the 30% thinning in this area. In this way, we can build a reciprocal relationship. We firstly select the mother tree and remain it through out the thinning phases.
The actions and tools shown here are relate to our manual book. New seedlings would replace the thinned trees so that we could maximize protecting the underground connection, this thinning action will repeat every 5 years. In this phases, AA Master students would use the produced timber for their projects.
