Stand Establishment Decision Aids (SEDAs)
Stand Establishment Decision Aids (SEDAs) are extension notes that synthesize the latest information on silvicultural tools and practices that can help deal with environmentally limiting factor within the context of the Biogeoclimatic Ecosystem Classification (BEC) Zone System. These extension notes present information in a user-friendly format for the professional operational community. The information presented in each SEDA looks at the broad silvicultural tool kit including silvicultural systems, site preparation options, regeneration options, etc. They also provide information on cost/risk/trade-off options in reaching specific target management objectives.
