Self-check
Choose either True of False to check your understanding.
Aerial applications
of herbicides are appropriate on high vulnerability karst areas.
Avoid mechanical methods
of site preparation on thin soils overlying epikarst.
Broadcast burning
should not occur on high vulnerability karst areas.
Avoid major changes
in tree species to maintain consistency in the forest type and
litter biota, which can influence karst processes.
If a karst field assessment
has not been done on an area, stand tending can still proceed.
Spot applications
are a good way to avoid contaminating karst groundwater when
applying fertilizers.
All karst features
that have been degraded during forest operations should be rehabilitated.
