Question and Answer Episode | Episode 43
<p data-start="414" data-end="830">In this Q&A episode, Brady and Shaun answer listener and landowner questions on three practical forestry topics: whether diesel or dish soap should be used as surfactants in herbicide applications, what landowners should consider before converting industrial timberland into recreational or early successional habitat, and how soil properties influence which tree species can successfully grow on a site.</p> <p data-start="832" data-end="1091">The episode emphasizes a recurring Timber University theme: forestry decisions depend on objectives. A practice may be silviculturally possible, but that does not mean it is legal, consistent, financially sound, or appropriate for a specific landowner's long-term goals.</p>

Forestry Tech Talk with Dr. Michael Crosby | Episode 42
<h2 data-section-id="1gxe5lx" data-start="189" data-end="202">Show Notes</h2> <p data-start="204" data-end="667">Geographic information systems, remote sensing, and spatial data are becoming everyday tools for forestry and natural resource management. In this episode of Timber University, Dr. Michael Crosby from Louisiana Tech University joins us to discuss how GIS can help foresters, landowners, students, and natural resource professionals better understand forests, make maps, analyze management decisions, and connect field observations to landscape-scale patterns.</p> <p data-start="669" data-end="1136">Dr. Crosby is an Associate Professor in Louisiana Tech's School of Agricultural Sciences and Forestry, where his work connects forestry, spatial modeling, forest health, invasive species, weather, and climate. He has also co-authored Geographic Information System Skills for Foresters and Natural Resource Managers, a textbook focused on helping foresters and land managers apply GIS to real-world data and management problems.</p> <p data-start="1138" data-end="1606">In this conversation, we discuss why GIS matters in modern forestry and how mapping tools can move beyond "pretty pictures" into practical decision support. Dr. Crosby explains how spatial data can help answer questions about forest condition, access, disturbance, risk, invasive species, and management planning. The episode also touches on how students and working professionals can build confidence with GIS, even if they are not coming from a technical background.</p> <p data-start="1608" data-end="1961">We also discuss the growing role of remote sensing, aerial imagery, and spatial analysis in forestry education and practice. From identifying patterns on the landscape to supporting better field decisions, these tools are increasingly important for foresters, land managers, consultants, researchers, and students preparing to work in natural resources.</p> <p data-start="1963" data-end="2188">This episode is a useful listen for forestry students, consulting foresters, land managers, extension professionals, GIS users, and anyone interested in how spatial tools are changing the way we understand and manage forests.</p> <p data-start="2190" data-end="2289">You can contact Dr. Michael Crosby at <a href= "mailto:mcrosby@LATech.edu">mcrosby@LATech.edu</a></p> <p data-start="2291" data-end="2522">Additional resource:<br data-start="2311" data-end="2314" /> Geographic Information System Skills for Foresters and Natural Resource Managers<br data-start="2396" data-end="2399" /> Dr. Crosby co-authored this GIS textbook for foresters and natural resource managers.</p>

Hurricanes and Forest Ecology with Dr. Jeffrey Cannon | Episode 41
<p><span class= "root--v_1_25_0--hcxfpIUi bodyMedium--v_1_25_0--73AdKUte color-secondary-c200--v_1_25_0--RUo3R-S4 css-b41wr1"> Hurricanes are often seen as purely destructive, but new research reveals their vital role in shaping longleaf pine ecosystems. Dr. Jeffrey Cannon from the Jones Center at Ichauway joins the Timber University podcast to discuss how his research explores how these storms influence forest structure, stimulate reproduction, and act as natural restorers. Discover how hurricanes increase biodiversity, create complex forest structures, and reinforce fire regimes, offering ecological benefits often overlooked. </span></p> <p><span class= "root--v_1_25_0--hcxfpIUi bodyMedium--v_1_25_0--73AdKUte color-secondary-c200--v_1_25_0--RUo3R-S4 css-b41wr1"> We also discuss how remote sensing tools like LiDAR are transforming our understanding of storm impacts, from tree architecture adaptations to fuel patterns affecting fire behavior. Dr. Cannon provides practical advice on managing forest diversity to bolster resilience against future hurricanes, crucial for landowners and restoration practitioners.</span> <span class= "root--v_1_25_0--hcxfpIUi bodyMedium--v_1_25_0--73AdKUte color-secondary-c200--v_1_25_0--RUo3R-S4 css-b41wr1"> This episode is perfect for land managers, conservationists, and anyone interested in the nuanced role of disturbances. It challenges conventional views and sparks innovative thinking about storm ecology and forest resilience.</span></p> <p><span class= "root--v_1_25_0--hcxfpIUi bodyMedium--v_1_25_0--73AdKUte color-secondary-c200--v_1_25_0--RUo3R-S4 css-b41wr1"> You can contact Dr. Cannon directly at <a href= "mailto:jeffery.cannon@jonesctr.org"><span class= "elementor-icon-list-text">jeffery.cannon@jonesctr.org</span></a></span></p> <p><span class= "root--v_1_25_0--hcxfpIUi bodyMedium--v_1_25_0--73AdKUte color-secondary-c200--v_1_25_0--RUo3R-S4 css-b41wr1"> A tutorial on using Lidar tools for forestry data <a href= "https://lab.jonesctr.org/cannon/resources/">https://lab.jonesctr.org/cannon/resources/</a></span></p> <p><span class= "root--v_1_25_0--hcxfpIUi bodyMedium--v_1_25_0--73AdKUte color-secondary-c200--v_1_25_0--RUo3R-S4 css-b41wr1"> If you want to hear a broader discussion with Dr. Cannon and others on research needs for hurricane-disturbed forests, click below. <a href= "https://forestrywebinars.net/webinars/future-directions-for-hurricane-disturbed-forests/?sr=wp~ondemand"> https://forestrywebinars.net/webinars/future-directions-for-hurricane-disturbed-forests/?sr=wp~ondemand</a></span></p>
