Download or read book The Carbon Budget of British Columbia s Forests 1920 1989 written by Werner Alexander Kurz and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector is a national-scale model of forest sector carbon pools and fluxes. This model has been applied to conduct a retrospective analysis of the carbon budget of British Columbia forests for 1920-1989. This report details the assumptions behind the model and the data sources for historic disturbances such as wildfire, forest insects, and different types of harvesting. It then presents model results for biomass and soil carbon pools, carbon fluxes, changes in forest age-class structure, and the model's sensitivity to a change in the assumption that biomass can decline in the overmature growth phase. The appendix includes a summary of a workshop examining the retrospective analysis.

This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of papers presented at the international symposium on forest sector analysis held in Miyazaki, Japan, in 1998. It is structured with three themes: understanding global forest sector issues, discussing the contribution of modeling efforts to forest sector analysis, and discussing the role of Japanese forest policy in a global sense. The most important features are the case studies using various types of forest sector models. From a modeling perspective, changes in modeling efforts include more detail of spatial and multiple market levels, intergenerational welfare concerns, non-market valuation issues, and explicit treatment of the uncertainty inherent in both the policy process and in the biophysical systems. The reader of this book will benefit not only from presentation of forest utilization issues in different nations, but also from the interrelatedness of the theory and application of forest sector modeling.

Book excerpt: Forestry Innovation Investment is wholly owned by the British Columbia government, as represented by the Ministry of Forests. The company is responsible for programs in three areas: international marketing, to strengthen provincial opportunities in existing markets for British Columbia forest products and to develop & pursue new forest sector market opportunities in emerging markets; product development, designed to assist funding recipients to improve manufacturing processes, support technology transfer, develop new types or uses of forest products, and support market access initiatives; and research to enhance a leading edge forest industry. This annual report presents messages from the executives, a review of the year's activities & programs, an evaluation of company performance against established goals (international marketing, product development, operations in China, information services & promotion, research, partnerships, corporate services), a corporate profile, and audited financial statements.

Download or read book The Importance of Forest Sector Adaptation to Climate Change written by T. C. Lemprière and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes current knowledge about recent changes in the climate of Canadas forests and projects further changes over this century based on scenarios of future global greenhouse gas emissions developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Even with sustained reductions in global emissions the future climate is predicted to be quite different, meaning that adaptation will be essential. Impacts on the forest are already occurring and will be substantial in the future. The current upward trend in area burned annually is expected to continue. Forests will be prone to widespread stress induced by the changing climate, increasing the likelihood of pest outbreaks in the short to medium term. Recent outbreaks of several pests have exceeded in scope all previous known epidemics of these pests and are associated with the crossing of a climatic threshold. Invasion of the boreal forest by the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae (Hopkins), appears likely, although the effect of this range expansion would likely be less severe than that observed recently in British Columbia, and outbreaks of the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clemens), are predicted to be longer and more severe in the future. Future forest growth in response to climate change is expected to be variable, with growth reduction because of drought in parts of Canadas western forests perhaps the most dramatic short- to medium-term outcome, though modestly increased growth in the east is predicted. Such impacts have implications for the cost and characteristics of timber supply, and climate change will also affect forestry operations, recreation opportunities, biodiversity, and carbon storage. Planning based on past approaches will need to be reconsidered. Current objectives for sustainable forest management may not be attainable in the future, although there may be some new opportunities. Climate change may produce public safety risks, significant economic and social dislocation in forest-dependent communities including Aboriginal communities, and impacts on the competitiveness of companies as well as on the actions and policies of all levels of government. These effects can be reduced through early identification and implementation of actions to reduce vulnerabilities or take advantage of new opportunities. The key needs associated with adaptation in the forest sector include awareness building and debate, improved knowledge and information, vulnerability assessments, planning frameworks and tools, and enhanced coordination and cooperation among governments and other forest sector participants. Meeting the challenge of adaptation will require sustained effort for many years.
