Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una pubblicazione che descrive obiettivi e tecnica del trattamento selvicolturale proposto per le pinete artificiali di pino nero dell’Appennino. Si tratta di un diradamento di tipo selettivo finalizzato ad accrescere: la stabilità meccanica complessiva (funzione protettiva), la capacità di crescita delle piante (funzione produttiva), la differenziazione strutturale (funzione di aumento di biodiversità). Il manuale descrive le tecniche adottate che prevedono la scelta di piante candidate ed il taglio delle dirette concorrenti sul piano dominante. L’obiettivo è quello di aprire la copertura dando più spazio alle chiome per incrementarne sviluppo e la capacità fotosintetica e, contemporaneamente, determinare al suolo un diverso regime di luce, acqua e temperatura con conseguente aumento della biodiversità vegetale del sottobosco, quella livello dell’ambiente suolo (funghi, batteri, flora, mesofauna, nematodi) nonché la funzionalità complessiva dell’ecosistema. Il protocollo sperimentale prevede il confronto del diradamento selettivo con quello tradizionale e con il non intervento attraverso rilievi ante e post interventi specifici per l’analisi della biodiversità delle componenti di sottobosco e suolo di cui il manuale riporta le metodologie adottate. La trattazione si conclude con la descrizione delle due aree oggetto del progetto: Pratomagno e Monte Amiata e riporta caratteristiche e primi risultati relativi agli interventi di diradamento applicati. Del manuale sono state realizzate tre versioni linguistiche: italiano, inglese e spagnolo. Della versione italiana è stata realizzata anche una versione cartacea la cui distribuzione è prevista durante le attività di formazione e sensibilizzazione del progetto.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the majority of the world’s forest ecosystems are dominated by uneven-sized multi-species stands, forest management practice and theory has focused on the development of plantation monocultures to maximize the supply of timber at low cost. Societal expectations are changing, however, and uneven-aged multi-species ecosystems, selectively managed as Continuous Cover Forestry (CCF), are often believed to be superior to monocultures in addressing a wide range of expectations. This book presents methods which are relevant to CCF management and planning: analysing forest structures, silvicultural and planning, economic evaluation, based on examples in Europe, Asia, Africa and North and South America.

Download or read book Post Fire Management and Restoration of Southern European Forests written by Francisco Moreira and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-12-10 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of all the efforts made in fire prevention and suppression, every year about 45 000 forest fires occur in Europe, burning ca. 0.5 million hectares of forests and other rural lands. The management of these burned forests has been given much less attention than fire prevention or fire suppression issues, but the post-fire management of burned areas raises strong concerns (economic and social impacts, soil erosion and water quality, biodiversity loss, forest restoration). Although there are a few publications which address post-fire management, the focus of these has been either on general approaches to restoration or specific topics such as preventing post-fire soil erosion. This book is about the post-fire management of fire-prone forest types in southern Europe. It provides the first comprehensive overview of the topic, ranging from stand-level to landscape-level management, and from emergency actions to long-term restoration approaches.

Download or read book Fish and Wildlife Management written by Adam T. Rohnke and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring over five hundred illustrations and forty tables, this book is a collection of in-depth discussions by a tremendous range of experts on topics related to wildlife and fisheries management in Mississippi. Beginning with foundational chapters on natural resource history and conservation planning, the authors discuss the delicate balance between profit and land stewardship. A series of chapters about the various habitat types and the associated fish and wildlife populations that dominate them follow. Several chapters expand on the natural history and specific management techniques of popular species of wildlife, including white-tailed deer, eastern wild turkey, and other species. Experts discuss such special management topics as supplemental, wildlife-food planting, farm pond management, backyard habitat, nuisance animal control, and invasive plant species control. Leading professionals who work every day in Mississippi with landowners on wildlife and fisheries management created this indispensable book. The up-to-date and applicable management techniques discussed here can be employed by private landowners throughout the state. For those who do not own rural lands but have an interest in wildlife and natural resources, this book also has much to offer. Residents of urban communities interested in creating a wildlife-friendly yard will delight in the backyard habitat chapter specifically written for them. Whether responsible for one-fourth of an acre or two thousand, landowners will find this handbook to be an incalculable aid on their journey to good stewardship of their Mississippi lands.

Download or read book Continuous Cover Forestry written by Klaus von Gadow and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The large-scale application of new silvicultural systems has become a political reality in many parts of the world. This involves a gradual transformation of traditional silvicultural practice towards Continuous Cover Forestry, also known as near-natural forest management, favouring mixed uneven-aged stands, site-adapted tree species and selective harvesting. Selective harvesting systems have a long tradition. Specific CCF-related resource assessment, forecasting and sustainable harvest control techniques have been developed, but details about their use are not widely known. The objective of this volume is to present state-of-the-art research results and techniques relating to CCF management with an emphasis on systems engineering and modelling. Using a very simple classification based on the development of timber volume over age or time we may distinguish two types of sustainable forest management systems. Rotation forest management (RFM) systems, characterized by standard silvicultural treatments and repetitive cycles of clearfelling followed by planting; and continuous cover forestry (CCF) systems which are characterized by selective harvesting and natural regeneration, resulting in uneven-aged structures and frequently also in multi-species forests. The distinction is usually the result of decisions relating to the cost of timber harvesting, simplicity of management, or various intangible benefits. The oldest and most perfect examples of CCF systems are the so called plenter selection forests found in France, Switzerland, Slowenia and Germany. Today, CCF systems are encountered in various regions of Europe, North America and in some tropical and sub-tropical forests of South Africa, Asia and South America.
