Introduction to Silvicultural Systems Silvicultural systems are the essence of a silviculture prescription, providing a long-term planning perspective at the stand level and a foundation for building aprescription. They are legislated in the Forest Practices Code of British Columbia Act and the regulations and standards enabled by the Code. A well-designed silvicultural system is a complex integration of both the art and science of forestry, and reflects an understanding of ecological relationships, long-term desires of the landowner, operational realities, and a creative spirit of innovation and discovery. The first challenge for practitioners inexperienced with various silvicultural systems is to determine the full range of choices available, and to sort through the confusing use and misuse of terminology. Note that this publication is only intended to ground you in the fundamental silvicultural systems concepts. ObjectivesThe general objectives of this workbook are: This workbook is divided into two parts.

Coppicing - A Lost Art Revisited - Verge Permaculture Coppicing has always been interesting to me as a wood production system (fuel, timber) because it uses trees that can be cut perpetually. In other words, the tree is cut and grows back. This is quite different from the type of forestry we practice here in Canada with spruce, fir, and pine trees. These conifers are cut once and then die. Here is a great Wikipedia definition on coppicing: In Canada we can grow a number of different trees that can be cut and grow back. Here is a great video on Coppicing from Britain. In addition to fuel and timber coppice systems can be used for basketry, propagation, mulch and fodder. In Ohaton in Camrose County, Alberta, they are using willow to clean up their waste water from a lagoon while growing a feed stock for producing heat for the municipality. Dave Jake and Mark Krawczyk are currently working on a book on Coppice Agroforestry which, if it is anything like his last book Edible Forest Gardens Vols I & II, will be amazing!
Application Architecture Guide - Chapter 1 - Fundamentals of Application Architecture - Guidance Share From Guidance Share Note - The patterns & practices Microsoft Application Architecture Guide, 2nd Edition is now live at - J.D. Objectives Learn the fundamental concepts of application architecture. Overview Application architecture is the process of defining a structured solution that meets all of the technical and operational requirements, while optimizing common quality attributes such as performance, security, and manageability. This chapter lays a foundation for practical application architecture. What Is Application Architecture? Software architecture is often defined as the structure or structures of a system. Kruchten, Booch, Bittner, and Reitman on Architecture Philippe Kruchten, Grady Booch, Kurt Bittner, and Rich Reitman derived and refined a definition of architecture based on work by Mary Shaw and David Garlan (Shaw and Garlan 1996). Fowler on Architecture The highest-level breakdown of a system into its parts.
Applications architecture Applications architecture is one of several architecture domains that form the pillars of an enterprise architecture or solution architecture. Note that the term "application architecture" (without the s) is commonly used for the internal structure of an application, for its software modularisation. Applications architecture is the science and art of ensuring the suite of applications being used by an organization to create the composite architecture is scalable, reliable, available and manageable. One not only needs to understand and manage the dynamics of the functionalities the composite architecture is implementing but also help formulate the deployment strategy and keep an eye out for technological risks that could jeopardize the growth and/or operations of the organization.[citation needed] Definition[edit] An applications architecture describes the structure and behavior of applications used in a business, focused on how they interact with each other and with users.
