Описание: Geographic Variation in Forest Trees is the first book toexamine this subject from a world-wide perspective. The authordiscusses population genetic theory and genetic systems of native NorthAmerican tree species as they interact with environments in the majorclimatic regions in the world. He then demonstrates how this knowledgeis used to guide seed zoning and seed transfer in silviculture, basingmuch of his discussion on models developed in Scandinavia and NorthAmerica. In the final chapter, the author addresses the issue ofgenetic conservation -- a subject of great concern in the face ofaccelerated forest destruction, industrial pollution, and climaticchange. This comprehensive, well-researched book makes a significantcontribution to the knowledge of one of our most important renewablenatural resources.

Описание: For centuries, people have understood that forests, and our utilisation of them, influence the climate. With modern environmental concerns, there is now scientific, governmental, and popular interest in planting trees for climate protection. This book examines the historical origins of the idea that forests influence climate, the bitter controversy that ended the science, and its modern rebirth. Spanning the 1500s to the present, it provides a broad perspective across the physical and biological sciences, as well as the humanities, to explain the many ways forests influence climate. It describes their use in climate-smart forestry and as a natural climate solution, and demonstrates that in the forest–climate question, human and sylvan fates are linked. Accessibly written with minimal mathematics, it is ideal for students in environmental and related sciences, as well as anyone with an interest in understanding the environmental workings of forests and their interactions with climate.

The most up-to-date, comprehensive resource on silviculture that covers the range of topics and issues facing today's foresters and resource professionals
The tenth edition of the classic work, The Practice of Silviculture: Applied Forest Ecology, includes the most current information and the results of research on the many issues that are relevant to forests and forestry. The text covers such timely topics as biofuels and intensive timber production, ecosystem and landscape scale management of public lands, ecosystem services, surface drinking water supplies, urban and community greenspace, forest carbon, fire and climate, and much more.
In recent years, silvicultural systems have become more sophisticated and complex in application, particularly with a focus on multi-aged silviculture. There have been paradigm shifts toward managing for more complex structures and age-classes for integrated and complementary values including wildlife, water and open space recreation. Extensively revised and updated, this new edition covers a wide range of topics and challenges relevant to the forester or resource professional today. This full-color text offers the most expansive book on silviculture and:
Includes a revised and expanded text with clear language and explanations
Covers the many cutting-edge resource issues that are relevant to forests and forestry
Contains boxes within each chapter to provide greater detail on particular silvicultural treatments and examples of their use
Features a completely updated bibliography plus new photographs, tables and figures
The Practice of Silviculture: Applied Forest Ecology, Tenth Edition is an invaluable resource for students and professionals in forestry and natural resource management.

Plantation forests often have a negative image. They are typically assumed to be poor substitutes for natural forests, particularly in terms of biodiversity conservation, carbon storage, provision of clean drinking water and other non-timber goods and services. Often they are monocultures that do not appear to invite people for recreation and other direct uses. Yet as this book clearly shows, they can play a vital role in the provision of ecosystem services, when compared to agriculture and other forms of land use or when natural forests have been degraded.
This is the first book to examine explicitly the non-timber goods and services provided by plantation forests, including soil, water and biodiversity conservation, as well as carbon sequestration and the provision of local livelihoods. The authors show that, if we require a higher provision of ecosystem goods and services from both temperate and tropical plantations, new approaches to their management are required. These include policies, methods for valuing the services, the practices of small landholders, landscape approaches to optimise delivery of goods and services, and technical issues about how to achieve suitable solutions at the scale of forest stands. While providing original theoretical insights, the book also gives guidance for plantation managers, policy-makers, conservation practitioners and community advocates, who seek to promote or strengthen the multiple-use of forest plantations for improved benefits for society.

Three quarters of Canada’s forests are under provincial control, so provincial forest policies are crucial to long-term sustainability. By offering an up-to-date comparative scrutiny of forest policies, this book provides forest managers, policy-makers, scholars, and students with the information and concepts to critically examine Canada’s complex forest tenure systems. Looking at tenure, stumpage fees, and other forest practices, the authors assess how well different provincial schemes achieve the goals of sustainable forest management. They identify essential policy attributes that could be used to guide tenure reform, consider barriers that could prevent meaningful change, and offer much-needed practical guidance on overcoming these obstacles.

Описание: Setting the Standard chronicles the emergence and implicationsof an ambitious experiment in civil-society-led global governance: theForest Stewardship Council. Drawing on a pioneering case study of thisnegotiation process, this book explores the challenges associated withimplementing the FSC's global vision on the ground. Indeed, theestablishment of an FSC standard for British Columbia was achieved onlyafter difficult and protracted negotiations at the regional, national,and global levels. This important work also undertakes a detailedcomparative analysis of FSC standards and standard-setting processeselsewhere and grapples with the broader implications for globalgovernance and regulatory theory.
