Download or read book Integrated Public Lands Management written by John B. Loomis and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2002-05-15 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated Public Lands Management is the only book that deals with the management procedures of all the primary public land management agencies—National Forests, Parks, Wildlife Refuges, and the Bureau of Land Management—in one volume. This book fills the need for a unified treatment of the analytical procedures used by federal land management agencies in planning and managing their diverse lands. The second edition charts the progress these agencies have made toward the management of their lands as ecosystems. It includes new U.S. Forest Service regulations, expanded coverage of Geographic Information Systems, and new legislation on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Wildlife Refuges.

Download or read book Applying Ecological Principles to Land Management written by Virginia H. Dale and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-27 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume incorporates case studies that explore past and current land use decisions on both public and private lands, and includes practical approaches and tools for land use decision-making. The most important feature of the book is the linking of ecological theory and principle with applied land use decision-making. The theoretical and empirical are joined through concrete case studies of actual land use decision-making processes.
Download or read book Land Use and Land Cover Semantics written by Ola Ahlqvist and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the Important Role that the Semantics of Land Use and Land Cover Plays within a Broader Environmental Context Focused on the information semantics of land use and land cover (LULC) and providing a platform for reassessing this field, Land Use and Land Cover Semantics: Principles, Best Practices, and Prospects presents a comprehensive overview of fundamental theories and best practices for applying semantics in LULC. Developed by a team of experts bridging relevant areas related to the subject (LULC studies, ontology, semantic uncertainty, information science, and earth observation), this book encourages effective and critical uses of LULC data and considers practical contexts where LULC semantics can play a vital role. The book includes work on conceptual and technological semantic practices, including but not limited to categorization; the definition of criteria for sets and their members; metadata; documentation for data reuse; ontology logic restrictions; reasoning from text sources; and explicit semantic specifications, ontologies, vocabularies, and design patterns. It also includes use cases from applicable semantics in searches, LULC classification, spatial analysis and visualization, issues of Big Data, knowledge infrastructures and their organization, and integration of bottom-up and top-down approaches to collaboration frameworks and interdisciplinary challenges such as EarthCube. This book: Centers on the link between planning goals, objectives, and policy and land use classification systems Uses examples of maps and databases to draw attention to the problems of semantic integration of land use/cover data Discusses the principles used in a categorization Explores the origins and impacts of semantic variation using the example of land cover Examines how crowd science and human perceptions can be used to improve the quality of land cover datasets, and more Land Use and Land Cover Semantics: Principles, Best Practices, and Prospects offers an up-to-date account of land use/land cover semantics, looks into aspects of semantic data modeling, and discusses current approaches, ongoing developments, and future trends. The book provides guidance to anyone working with land use or land cover data, looking to harmonize categories, repurpose data, or otherwise develop or use LULC datasets.

Book excerpt: Modeling relationships between land-management practices and resulting changes in carbon, nitrogen, albedo, and other factors is complex. Even so, such modeling can be used to integrate scientific knowledge and provide a bridge between scientific understanding and policy. Yet, too often decision makers have a poor understanding of the underlying models and thus may misinterpret the implications. More often, decision makers diminish model results as fictitious, for they do not recognize the validity or extent of the underlying science. Decision makers should understand that the modeling process (1) involves formalizing hypotheses concerning relationships among components of human, biophysical, and ecological systems and (2) fosters exploration of implications of those hypotheses. To be most helpful for decision making, developing a model requires documentation of the model components and implications including all assumptions, input and output variables, and methods used to calibrate and validate the model as well as to identify sensitivities and uncertainties. There is no one modeling approach that meets the diverse needs of decision makers regarding land and carbon issues. As with all scientific explorations, new learning typically results in improved understanding, new questions, and revised hypotheses about the way the system works. Decision makers need to realize that models cannot provide specific predictions any more than models are to be believed. Instead, modeling enhances understanding of a system by requiring a formal statement of what is known and not known. The advantages and cautionary principles involved in using models for decision making are discussed. Because land change is a local or regional process and many questions about the effect of these changes are at the global scale, there are still gaps in modeling land change and its effects. The chapter concludes with opportunities to improve modeling of land change and the carbon cycle so that the scientific understanding and information on these issues is presented in a way that is more useful to decision makers.

Download or read book Forests and Rural Development written by Jürgen Pretzsch and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of the complex challenges and opportunities related to forest-based rural development in the tropics and subtropics. Applying a socio-ecological perspective, the book traces the changing paradigms of forestry in rural development throughout history, summarizes the major aspects of the rural development challenge in forest areas and documents innovative approaches in fields such as land utilization, technology and organizational development, rural advisory services, financing mechanisms, participative planning and forest governance. It brings together scholars and practitioners dealing with the topics from various theoretical and practical angles. Calling for an approach that carefully balances market forces with government intervention, the book shows that forests in rural areas have the potential to provide a solid foundation for a green global economy.
