Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1989, examines the controversial position of commercial utilisation in relation to wildlife conservation. Production of large mammals has earned respectability as an agricultural strategy and its evaluation has been listed as a priority requirement in the World Conservation Strategy. However, many authorities question whether wildlife production is a viable economic and environmental strategy, and suggest that it runs counter to its claimed purpose. This book evaluates this controversy by chronicling the changing role of wildlife and by reflecting on the implications of these trends. The book should be of interest to people both applauding and deploring the use of wildlife in this economic role.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in print as a University Press of Colorado edition, this abundantly illustrated volume with field sketch illustrations by William D. Berry fully explains moose biology and ecology and assesses the increasingly complex enterprise of managing moose. Twenty-one of the world's authorities on the species discuss its taxonomy, reproduction and growth, feeding habits, behavior, population dynamics, relationships with predators, incidental mortality, seasonal migration patterns, and habitat and harvest management. Contributors include Warren B. Ballard, Arnold H. Boer, Anthony B. Bubenik, M. E. Buss, Kenneth N. Child, Vincent F.J. Crichton, Albert W. Franzmann, Kris J. Hundertmark, Patrick D. Karns, Murray W.

Download or read book Moose Management and Browsing Dynamics in Boreal Forest written by Johan Månsson and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foraging patterns of large herbivores will affect their impact on structures and functions of ecosystems and on human use of natural resources. The foraging patterns are affected by a multitude of factors, e.g., forage availability, environmental conditions, and herbivore density. Furthermore, the importance of these factors has been suggested to vary over temporal and spatial scales. The impact from large herbivores will affect the management actions to fulfil socio-political policies (e.g., regarding damage to forests) and the harvest quotas could be decided from monitoring of animal numbers and damage. However, wildlife managers are often faced with a choice of several available monitoring methods, at varying cost and precision. The aim of this thesis was to improve our understanding of: 1) factors governing the foraging patterns of large herbivores and thereby also the impact on the ecosystem; and 2) performance of survey methods in relation to monitoring cost. The study was performed in south-central Sweden, and moose (Alces alces) in boreal forest was used as a model system. The results suggest that herbivore foraging decisions are scale-dependent. The significance of moose density effects, site productivity, and diversity among forage species on the foraging pattern varied from feeding patch to landscape level. On the plant level, browsing pressure and moose preference for groups of certain species varied significantly. On the stand level, moose preference for certain habitats varied according to variation in snow conditions. Furthermore, the distribution of forage types (e.g., field and shrub layer) differed between the habitats and the browsing on the different layers of forage will therefore vary according to environmental conditions. The browsing pressure was also dependent on forage availability and herbivore density. Moose density in Sweden is mainly regulated by hunting. The hunting quotas rely on more or less accurate monitoring methods. The ability to reach management goals generally increased with monitoring effort, but a combination of two relatively inexpensive monitoring methods also produced successful management outcomes.

Book excerpt: The Aspen Management for the 21st Century symposium was held in conjunction with the 12th annual meeting of the Poplar Council of Canada. Twenty-one invited papers were presented on aspen management, filling the knowledge gaps; aspen management and harvesting; wildlife, environment and aspen management; and sustainability and intensive management of the aspen resource. Emphasis was put on integration of management, harvesting, and non-timber uses. Proceedings contain all invited papers and abstracts of the concurrent poster session.

Download or read book Moose Alces Alces Browse Enhancement and Sustainable Forestry as a Rural Development Tool in the Sub Arctic Boreal Forest Region of Alaska written by Bruce David Cain and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project studies indigenous and western moose browse management issues in the sub-arctic boreal forest and how this topic relates to rural development. Chapter one explains the methodology of the project. Chapter two describes how moose browse and biomass management support rural development and investigates productivity potential of combining moose browse management with sustainable forestry and biomass production. Chapter three investigates landscape and habitat management principles from a customary and traditional practice versus a scientific approach. It looks at management models in the following territories: Alaska, Canada, Continental US, Mongolia/Russia and Scandinavia. Chapter four investigates indigenous wildlife management systems and other indigenous wildlife policy issues. Chapter five is a selected annotated bibliography. The project has a focus on the Ahtna region of central Alaska and recognizes the implications of these issues for this region.
