Fire Management Stocking Standards Guidance Document

Stocking standards provide the basic linkage between the harvest of a forest stand and the regeneration of a new stand and are a required element of forest stewardship plans under the Forest and Range Practices Act (FRPA). Stocking standard guidance for even-aged management has been developed for biogeoclimatic subzones, variants and site series that produce commercially valuable timber, as well as for special considerations including habitat and multi-storied stands.

Les normes de densité constituent le lien fondamental entre la récolte d’un peuplement forestier et la régénération d’un nouveau peuplement; elles constituent un élément obligatoire des plans d’intendance forestière en vertu de la Loi sur les pratiques forestières et de pâturage (FRPA). Des lignes directrices relatives aux normes de densité pour la gestion des peuplements d’âge uniforme ont été élaborées pour les sous-zones biogéoclimatiques, les variantes et les séries de sites qui produisent du bois d’œuvre à valeur commerciale, ainsi que pour des considérations particulières, notamment les habitats et les peuplements à plusieurs étages.
