This article is a great explanation of how myccorhizae work within the soils of the forests and why it's critical for forest professionals and private stewards to make good decisions on management https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=4093496767379437&id=237050606357425

As a member of the forest sector we pride ourselves on following the most current science. Although relationships in the soil have been known for some time they just haven't been talked about all that much until recently. This relationship has a direct impact on the productivity in our forests which directly translates into economic impacts if we perform the wrong forest prescriptions that harm the soil relationships described in this article. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-48257315

Horse logging in New Annan Colchester County. Most of this woodlot has had mechanical harvesters thin throughout. This area was left for as a reserve for really light forestry activities. We are removing the balsam fir and some large Red Spruce that were showing signs of decline. This is a great example of landowners being able to carry out their own work even after commercial harvests have taken place.

Commercial Thinning in Red Pine on North Nova land in Oxford Junction. We are removing 35 -40%, slightly more than other softwood species. This is because Red Pine needs a good crown ratio to grow well and is well rooted. They will also respond quickly and fill in the crown void. Another great job by Kim Construction. Well done guys.
