This book was released on 1907 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-timber forest products (NTFP) are all biological materials, other than timber, which are removed from natural or managed forests for human use or consumption (Peters 1994, Broekhoven 1996). In recent decades, NTFP have been viewed as a means of conserving, managing and optimizing tropical forest ecosystems while still providing economic benefits to local residents (Wickens 1991, Hall and Bawa 1993, Salick 'et al'. 1995, Velasquez Runk 1998). NTFP may provide similar opportunities and advantages to aboriginal Canadians living in the boreal forests of Canada. Therefore, protocols for establishing sustainable harvesting levels were designed and tested for two NTFP, 'Acorus americanus' and 'Vaccinium angustifolium ', in association with aboriginal communities of Manitoba and Ontario as a means of conserving, monitoring and optimizing boreal forest ecosystems. This was the first study to examine the effects of various harvesting intensities on 'V. angustifolium' and 'A. americanus '. In accordance with expectations, 'A. americanus' rhizome dry mass, shoot density and percent cover decreased as harvesting intensity increased. This was expected since the rhizome, the organ harvested for its medicinal values, is the primary means for propagation. Suggestions were made for modification to the monitoring protocols for 'A. americanus ' developed in this study. Monitoring different harvesting levels of 'V. angustifolium' for two years produced unexpected results. This project is the first to examine effects of various harvesting levels on blueberry production. As harvesting intensity increased, mass, volume and berry density tended to decrease among harvested treatments. Interestingly, harvesting some (30%) or most (70%) of the berries may have had a stimulatory effect on berry density, resulting in an apparent increased yield compared with the control or the 100% harvesting intensity. Recommendations were also made to improve the monitoring protocols for 'V. angustifolium'
Download or read book Non timber Forest Products in Ontario written by Gina H. Mohammed and published by Sault Ste. Marie : Ontario Forest Research Institute. This book was released on 1999 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reviews commercial and non-commercial non-timber forest products in Ontario, beginning with an introduction discussing the kinds of such products and their importance. Non-timber products are reviewed in the following categories: food products such as maple products, berries, honey, mushrooms, nuts, and wild rice; herbal & personal care products such as medicinal plants; materials & manufacturing products, including specialty wood products and essential oils; environmental products such as fuel wood, biological pesticides, and recycled wood waste; landscape & garden products such as landscape plans, mulches, and soil amendments; and decorative & aesthetic products such as Christmas trees, floral & foliage products, cones, and Native crafts. Issues associated with the development of non-timber forest products are then discussed, including sustainability, health & safety, and economic viability. Finally, recommendations are made that may help to advance the non-timber forest sector in Ontario.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As concerns about humankind’s relationship with the environment move inexorably up the agenda, this volume tells the story of the history of the concept of ecology itself and adds much to the historical and philosophical debate over this multifaceted discipline. The text provides readers with an overview of the theoretical, institutional and historical formation of ecological knowledge. The varied local conditions of early ecology are considered in detail, while epistemological problems that lie on the borders of ecology, such as disunity and complexity, are discussed. The book traces the various phases of the history of the concept of ecology itself, from its 19th century origins and antecedents, through the emergence of the environmental movement in the later 20th century, to the future, and how ecology might be located in the environmental science framework of the 21st century. The study of ‘ecological’ phenomena has never been confined solely to the work of researchers who consider themselves ecologists. It is rather a field of knowledge in which a plurality of practices, concepts and theories are developed. Thus, there exist numerous disciplinary subdivisions and research programmes within the field, the boundaries of which remain blurred. As a consequence, the deliberation to adequately identify the ecological field of knowledge, its epistemic and institutional setting, is still going on. This will be of central importance not only in locating ecology in the frame of 21st century environmental sciences but also for a better understanding of how nature and culture are intertwined in debates about pressing problems, such as climate change, the protection of species diversity, or the management of renewable resources.
