Download or read book Conifers From Seed to Sustainable Stands written by Teresa Fidalgo Fonseca and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-06-05 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conifers have diversified stand structures, silvicultural systems, yields, and products and services. The continuous analysis and modeling of conifer stands improves understanding of stands and forests and allows the improvement of their productivity, benefits, and services while maintaining sustainability. Moreover, detailed knowledge of conifer stands enables the development of alternative management scenarios to cope with disturbances. This book is a collection of reviews and research studies in several fields and with different perspectives on conifer stand management, regeneration, growth, production, genetics, ethnobotany disturbances, and wooden constructions.

Download or read book Ecological and Silvicultural Strategies for Sustainable Forest Management written by T. Fujimori and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-10-08 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing the increased interest in forest management world wide, this book addresses the current knowledge gap by defining sustainable forest management, clarifying methods by which ecological knowledge can be applied and how traditional silvicultural methods can be improved. Sustainable forest management involves the enhancement of various aspects of forest functions such as conservation of biodiversity, conservation of soil and water resources, contribution to the global carbon cycle as well as wood production. To establish ecological and silvicultural theories to enhance these functions harmoniously, recognizing the relationship between stand structures and their functions is essential. This volume presents target stand structures for aimed forest functions in relation to stand development stages, as well as ecological and silvicultural methods to lead and maintain them. Ecological and silvicultural strategies are discussed, both on stand and landscape levels, and from local to international levels in temperate and boreal forest zones.

Download or read book Conifers written by Ana Cristina Gonçalves and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-12-05 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conifer tree can lead to a wide variety of products and services. Overall, the evaluation, management and planning of the multiplicity of these forest systems requires effective and specific methods and tools in a sustainable frame of the systems and of their products and services. This book reflects the current research on conifer stands and forests. The authors, specialists in different areas, addressed several issues in forest science, focusing on the species' characteristics, silviculture and climate change; growth analysis; reconstruction of stand dynamics of mixed stands; establishment, regeneration and succession; litter-fall, nutrient cycle and silviculture; distribution and zonation; and ecosystem services provided by monocultures and mixed stands.
Download or read book Global Climate Change and Human Impacts on Forest Ecosystems written by J. Puhe and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inclusion of forests as potential biological sinks in the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1997 has attracted international attention and again has put scientific and political focus on the world's forests, regarding their state and development. The international discus sion induced by the Kyoto Protocol has clearly shown that not only the tropical rain forests are endangered by man's activities, but also that the forest ecosystems of boreal, temperate, mediterranean and subtropical regions have been drastically modified. Deforestation on a large scale, burning, over-exploitation, and the degra dation of the biological diversity are well-known symptoms in forests all over the world. This negative development happens in spite of the already existing knowledge of the benefits of forests on global energy and water regimes, the biogeochemical cycling of carbon and other elements as well as on the biological and cultural diversity. The reasons why man does not take care of forests properly are manifold and complex and there is no easy solution how to change the existing negative trends. One reason that makes it so difficult to assess the impacts of human activity on the future development of forests is the large time scale in which forests react, ranging from decades to centuries.
