The incident solar radiation received by large land areas cannot be managed or controlled; however, forest management can exert significant effect on local insolation in small areas. Harvest and regeneration patterns can be designed to increase or decrease the radiation level at many sites. The objectives of the management plan can determine the level of insolation desirable. Basic relationships usable to more quantitatively evaluate how solar radiation and shadows can be integrated at specific sites to achieve a management goal are discussed. Some concepts of applied climatology and solar radiation are summarized. An example is included to show how these principles can be used in resource management.
