FOREST EROSION
NOW ELIMINATED,
TIMBER LOGGING
Pulptimber logging in Southeast
Alaska will net ‘kin the mountain
sides or create t "oslo problems,
according to the Alaska Forest Re
search Center.
Studies show that the old-grow h
forests eventually to be cut for
pulpwood are not a continuous
stand of merchantable trees. Strin
gers of “scrub” timber having a
volume of wood per acre too small
for economic logging are inter
laced throughout the forest. Conse
quently, the cutover areas will
seldom be larger than 40 acres and
even these will have intervening
uncut patches. The ground of the
cutting areas everywhere will be
covered with decayed fallen trees,
shrubbery and the limbs and tops
of the trees which have been re
moved by the loggers. Numerous
old trees will be left standing be
cause they are too defective to use.
Unlike the usual practice in
many western states, the cutover
areas in Alaska are not to be
burned over after logging. In fact,
so much vegetation will be left on
the ground that many areas may
not appear, from a distance, to
have been cut over at all.
Where there are large areas of
continuously merchantable timber
to be cut, the Forest Service will
require “staggered settings” for
logging. This means that about
80-acre cut patches would be al
ternated with 70-acre uncut pat- j
ches. ;
All of these things help prevent
excessive run-off or erosion. So
\ far, every area in Southeast Alaska
! that has been logged has reclothed
itself in vegetation within two or
three years, and developed a dense
J stand of fast-growing young trees
through natural resecting within
10 years.
If for any reason any areas log
ged for pulptimber are not refor
; ested naturally, the Forest Service
I will replant the areas with seed
! lings grown in tree nurseries. A
| fund to meet the cost of such em
ergency forestry work is accumula
ted by setting aside a portion of,
the money received by the govern- |
ment from the sale of the timber
removed.
Studies made of the rate of
growth of the young timber which
has developed on the logged lands !
show such growth to be twice as
fast per acre per year as it was
in the old timber removed.
Two years ago the Alaska Forest
Research Center of the Forest Ser
vice started investigations on
stream behavior and effects of j
logging on watersheds. The pri
mary purpose is to provide a set
of guides for proposed logging op
erations that will prevent siltation
or other harm to salmon spawning
streams in different kinds of sit
uations.
The project will also include a
study of logging practices to be
avoided to prevent physical injury
to salmon streams. Erosion does
not appear to be a serious problem
since the heavy cover of vegetation
with its interlacing roots effective
ly protects the watershed.
Logging near or adjacent to 30
salmon streams that were recently
examined by the Research Center
has resulted in cutting an average
of only 1.3 percent of the water
shed. All those streams that sup
ported salmon spawning before
logging were still being used for
spawming the same as adjacent un
logged streams?
