This report describes a study conducted in the Dawson Creek Forest District of British Columbia to determine the use & availability of wildlife trees and coarse woody debris in a mixedwood forest. Wildlife trees were sampled in plots located in mature aspen stands, new-cut aspen cutblocks, regenerating aspen stands, mature mixedwood stands, natural & man-made edges in mature aspen forest, and retention patches in harvested cutblocks. Woody debris was sampled in mature aspen and mature mixedwood stands. Plots were also established around active woodpecker nest trees for comparative analysis with random sampling plots. To provide forest management recommendations, analysis was conducted on various tree characteristics among random, wildlife, and nest trees. Small mammal use of coarse woody debris was also studied. The report concludes with suggested guidelines for managing wildlife trees and coarse woody debris in mixedwood and aspen-dominated stands in north-east British Columbia.

This project was undertaken to review the ecological role of woody debris in temperate forest eco-systems, with particular emphasis on methods of estimating amounts and turnover rates, and the effects of logging and silvicultural activities on the amounts and behaviour of woody debris; to identify proposed or ongoing research with the Ministry of Forests related to the role of woody debris in the forest of British Columbia; to determine what information is available for the forest types of B.C.; and to identify forest types for which information on quantities or functions of woody debris is lacking and to discuss the research required to fill these gaps.

This paper describes the ecological role of the larger, down pieces of wood in both the living and decaying processes in the forest. These pieces are referred to as coarse woody debris (CWD).

Although bats are often thought of as cave dwellers, many species depend on forests for all or part of the year. Of the 45 species of bats in North America, more than half depend on forests, using the bark of trees, tree cavities, or canopy foliage as roosting sites. Over the past two decades it has become increasingly clear that bat conservation and management are strongly linked to the health of forests within their range. Initially driven by concern for endangered species—the Indiana bat, for example—forest ecologists, timber managers, government agencies, and conservation organizations have been altering management plans and silvicultural practices to better accommodate bat species. Bats in Forests presents the work of a variety of experts who address many aspects of the ecology and conservation of bats. The chapter authors describe bat behavior, including the selection of roosts, foraging patterns, and seasonal migration as they relate to forests. They also discuss forest management and its influence on bat habitat. Both public lands and privately owned forests are considered, as well as techniques for monitoring bat populations and activity. The important role bats play in the ecology of forests—from control of insects to nutrient recycling—is revealed by a number of authors. Bat ecologists, bat conservationists, forest ecologists, and forest managers will find in this book an indispensable synthesis of the topics that concern them.

If wildlife diversity is to be maintained in managed forests, the habitat needs of all wildlife species must be met. This report provides some of the necessary information by describing the habitat requirements of 133 vertebrate species of north-central British Columbia in relation to two special habitat elements: wildlife trees and coarse woody debris. To make it easier for habitat managers to apply this information, requirements were condensed into a series of habitat summary tables. The tables, which are based mainly on published research reviewed up to 1995, describe in detail the varieties of wildlife trees and coarse woody debris that are required by wildlife.
