A forest activity to remove unwanted vegetation and other material to cultivate or prepare the soil for reforestation.
Preparing an area of land for planting, direct seeding, or natural reproduction by clearing, chemical vegetation control, manual vegetation control, burning, disking, bedding, windrowing, raking, or combination of these treatments.
the treatment of the soil and ground vegetation to prepare the soil surface as a favorable seedbed for either naturally or artificially disseminated seed or for planted seedlings.
The physical preparation of a site ready for commencement of construction, such as simply establishing access, or its preparation prior to the main construction with a major effort such as reducing the topography to a common level. [D03276] RMW
A silvicultural activity to remove unwanted vegetation and other material, and to cultivate or prepare the soil for regeneration.
The general term for removing unwanted vegetation, slash, roots, and stones from a site before reforestation. Prescribed fire is usually used (slash and burn).
Removing unwanted vegetation and other material when necessary and soil preparation carried out before reforestation.
Any scheduled operation that is used to prepare an area for the re-generation of trees. These operations can be used individually or together, as needed, to prepare a site for tree regeneration. Examples include: piling unusable woody debris or slash. burning excess leftover branches and limbs. disking the ground bedding or furrowing applying forest chemicals Note: Site Prep should not be confused with land clearing operations, in which all material is scraped off the ground down to the bare dirt and stumps removed to allow for a conversion of use to non-forestry purposes
Preparing land for planting, direct seeding, or natural reproduction by burning, chemical vegetation control, or by mechanical operations such as disking, bedding, scarifying, windrowing, or raking.
The process of making a piece of land suitable for a specific use. This can include soil treatment, removing trees or grading land. Transfer of development rights: Usually means a governmentally mandated development procedure dictating density to specific locations. Transfer of development rights restricts an owner of real property to sell or exchange the development rights associated with his property to another owner for application to another property. In other words, selling development rights for one property to increase density elsewhere.
Removal or killing of unwanted vegetation, residue, etc. by use of fire, herbicides, or mechanical treatment in preparation for reforestation and future management.
Use of machines, herbicides, fire or combinations thereof to dispose of slash, improve planting conditions and provide initial control of competing vegetation.
hand or mechanized manipulation of site, designed to enhance the success of regeneration
Any treatment that modifies existing vegetation of physical site conditions to improve germination, survival, and subsequent growth of desired seedlings (Nyland, 1996).
A mechanical, fire, chemical or hand treatment that modifies the site to provide favourable conditions for natural or artificial regeneration. In the context of this reporting function, this definition is restricted to cases where site preparation is a treatment designed to create suitable sites for planting or seeding. (SITEP)
The preparation of land for planting trees, setting tree seeds, or seeding-in from adjacent trees. The objectives include reduction of brush and other obstacles to allow planting equipment to operate, reduction of vegetation that would compete with young trees, scarification of the soil to provide a suitable seedbed, and/or any other action that may be required to facilitate afforestation or reforestation. Also see “Afforest,” “Artificial regeneration,” “Natural regeneration,” and ‘Reforest.
treatment of an area prior to reestablishment of a forest stand. Site preparation can include mechanical clearing, burning, or chemical (herbicide) vegetation control.
