This book was released on 2001 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook is intended to assist field practitioners in determining forest health issues and the incidence of forest health factors in high-hazard forest ecosystems. The first section describes the attributes of hazard & risk rating and briefly outlines some available hazard & risk rating systems. Section two covers forest development plan-level surveys, and includes procedures for landscape-level forest health factor surveys. Topics covered include aerial overview surveys, classification of damage, map processing, survey for pest incidence, and windthrow risk evaluation. The final section reviews stand-level surveys. Appendices include a glossary, example inventory data & field data forms, and a table of damage agents & associated pest severity ratings.

Book excerpt: This is the first in a series of papers intended as guides to the current and future directions of the Canadian Forest Service science program. It defines "forest health" and describes why the Service, in co-operation with a wide range of partners, addresses forest health issues through research, monitoring, and assessment activities in its science and technology research networks. Research areas are outlined in the fields of exotic insects and diseases, global environmental change, biological diversity, and forest management. Finally, some emerging issues in forest health are listed.

Download or read book Forest Monitoring written by Borys Tkacz and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-03-16 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Different monitoring initiatives have been undertaken in Canada and the United States since the 1980s at national and regional scales. In the United States, starting in 1990, partners from federal and state agencies established the Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) program with the goal of monitoring and evaluating the status, conditions, and trends in indicators of forest health. The FHM program has evolved into a system where FHM plots are integrated with the national Forest Inventory and Analysis program. In Canada, early attempts can be traced back to the 1980s with the Acid Rain Early Warning System. After its ending, Canadian forest monitoring was mostly carried out within the redesigned National Forest Inventory, Ecological Monitoring and Assessment Network, and regional initiatives. One of them, implemented in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region of Alberta since 1997, is presented here.

Download or read book Infectious Forest Diseases written by Paolo Gonthier and published by CABI. This book was released on 2013 with total page 681 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, forest health and the management of threats towards it are attracting more and more attention on a global scale. This book covers the most recent advances in the management of forest diseases, including the epidemiology and infection biology of forest pathogens, and forest protection based on integrated pest and disease management approaches. A comprehensive range of diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi and other organisms are discussed in detail, making this book essential reading for forest managers and extension specialists. Written by recognized authorities in the subject of forest health, this book also provides a wealth of information useful for researchers and lecturers of forest pathology and ecology.

Download or read book Forest Monitoring written by and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2013-03-16 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demand for comparable, long-term, high quality data on forest ecosystems' status and changes is increasing at the international and global level. Yet, sources for such data are limited and in many case it is not possible to compare data from different monitoring initiatives across space and time because of methodological differences. Apart from technical manuals, there is no comprehensive multidisciplinary, scientific, peer-reviewed reference for forest monitoring methods that can serve and support the user community. This book provides in a single reference the state-of-the-art of monitoring methods as applied at the international level.The book present scientific concepts and methods that form the basis of the transnational, long-term forest monitoring in Europe and looks at other initiatives at the global level. Standardized methods that have been developed over two decades in international forest monitoring projects are presented. Emphasis is put on trans-nationally harmonized methods, related data quality issues, current achievements and on remaining open questions. - A comprehensive overview of needs, requirements, organization and possible outcomes of an integrated monitoring program - Tested and quality assured, internationally harmonized methodologies based on a complete revision of existing methods carried out in 2009-2011 - Connection with monitoring results allows assessment of the potential of the monitoring method

This book was released on 2019-04-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American chestnut, whitebark pine, and several species of ash in the eastern United States are just a few of the North American tree species that have been functionally lost or are in jeopardy of being lost due to outbreaks of pathogens and insect pests. New pressures in this century are putting even more trees at risk. Expanded human mobility and global trade are providing pathways for the introduction of nonnative pests for which native tree species may lack resistance. At the same time, climate change is extending the geographic range of both native and nonnative pest species. Biotechnology has the potential to help mitigate threats to North American forests from insects and pathogens through the introduction of pest-resistant traits to forest trees. However, challenges remain: the genetic mechanisms that underlie trees' resistance to pests are poorly understood; the complexity of tree genomes makes incorporating genetic changes a slow and difficult task; and there is a lack of information on the effects of releasing new genotypes into the environment. Forest Health and Biotechnology examines the potential use of biotechnology for mitigating threats to forest tree health and identifies the ecological, economic, and social implications of deploying biotechnology in forests. This report also develops a research agenda to address knowledge gaps about the application of the technology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Although the forests of southern Ontario are subject to a wide array of natural stressors (i.e. soil moisture deficiency, extreme weather events, insects, and diseases) and human stressors including fragmentation, historic timber and fuelwood extraction, high loadings of ground-level ozone and in some cases exceedence of acid deposition targets, overall, they continue to exhibit a high degree of resilience. Our assessment concurs with other research indicating that forests in southern Ontario are generally healthy"--Executive Summary.

Book excerpt: Widely recognized as the best treatment of the technical issues concerning forest health and forest protection available, the original edition of this comprehensive text was the first to treat fire, wind, insects, and diseases as well as their interactions holistically. The latest edition extends the thrust of the successful first edition, bringing updated,. detailed, and reliable coverage by the same team of authors with decades of experience and expertise in the fields of forest pathology, fire ecology, and forest entomology. Their effective, integrative approach continues to focus on the fundamental issues related to forest protection, including ecology, forest health, and ecosystem management. Useful examples from the United States, Canada, and other countries illustrate principles and problems essential to understanding these issues. --
