In this video, Dr Ian Short, broadleaf forestry researcher with Teagasc gives an overview of his remedial silvicultural research over more than a decade supporting forest owners in managing their ash dieback-infected plantations.
He discusses alternative silvicultural management systems including coppicing, underplanting, free-growth, and felling of small coupes identifying three management options of stands affected by ash dieback.
This video is part of a series produced by the Forestry Development Department of Teagasc. The purpose of this series is to provide objective advice to forest owners whose ash plantations have been affected by ash dieback and the important factors that need to be considered when removing the infected ash trees and replaced with alternative tree species.
This series also provides an overview of the important research work that is being carried out by Teagasc investigating solutions to the ash dieback fungal disease.
