Download or read book Urban and Community Forests of New England written by David John Nowak and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report details how land cover and urbanization vary within the states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont by community (incorporated and census designated places), county subdivision, and county. Specifically this report provides critical urban and community forestry information for each state including human population characteristics and trends, changes in urban and community lands, tree canopy and impervious surface cover characteristics, distribution of land-cover classes, a relative comparison of urban and community forests among local government types, determination of priority areas for tree planting, and a summary of urban tree benefits. Report information can improve the understanding, management, and planning of urban and community forests. The data from this report are reported for each state on the accompanying CD-ROM, and they may be accessed by state at http://www.nrs.fs.fed.us/data/urban.

Download or read book New England Forests Through Time written by David R. Foster and published by Harvard University Forest. This book was released on 2000 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past three hundred years New England's landscape has been transformed. The forests were cleared; the land was farmed intensively through the mid-nineteenth century and then was allowed to reforest naturally as agriculture shifted west. Today, in many ways the region is more natural than at any time since the American Revolution. This fascinating natural history is essential background for anyone interested in New England's ecology, wildlife, or landscape. In New England Forests through Time these historical and environmental lessons are told through the world-renowned dioramas in Harvard's Fisher Museum. These remarkable models have introduced New England's landscape to countless visitors and have appeared in many ecology, forestry, and natural history texts. This first book based on the dioramas conveys the phenomenal history of the land, the beauty of the models, and new insights into nature.
Download or read book Forests on the Edge written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The private working land base of America's forests is being converted to developed uses, with implications for the condition and management of affected private forests and the watersheds in which they occur. The Forests on the Edge project seeks to improve understanding of the processes and thresholds associated with increases in housing density in private forests and likely effects on the contributions of those forests to timber, wildlife, and water resources. This report, the first in a series, displays and describes housing density projections on private forests, by watershed, across the conterminous United States. An interdisciplinary team used geographic information system (GIS) techniques to identify fourth-level watersheds containing private forests that are projected to experience increased housing density by 2030. Results indicate that some 44.2 million acres (over 11 percent) of private forests--particularly in the East, where most private forests occur--are likely to see dramatic increases in housing development in the next three decades, with consequent impacts on ecological, economic, and social services. Although conversion of forest land to other uses over time is inevitable, local jurisdictions and states can target efforts to prevent or reduce conversion of the most valuable forest lands to keep private working forests resilient and productive.

Download or read book Northern Forest Lands written by Herbert E. Echelberger and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: S2Residents of the northern forest lands of New England rely heavily on the natural resources of the region for their economic welfare and outdoor recreation opportunities. For many decades, the relationship between large landholders and the citizens of this region has remained stable. However, recent events portend drastic changes in ownership of large tracts of forest land. For area residents, this change may signal changes in their access to land-based economic and recreational opportunities which they have traditionally enjoyed. A telephone survey of residents in the five-county region of northern Vermont and New Hampshire was conducted to determine resident attitudes and resource use patterns. Respondents were asked to: (1) Assess problems confronting their communities and region and express their attitudes toward local and regional planning; (2) Indicate their frequency of participation in a variety of outdoor recreational activities and their knowledge of ownership of the land they used for recreation; and (3) Indicate their support for or opposition to certain options that might be available to ensure the continuation of the large, single landownership patterns within northern forest lands. Data from the survey were used to develop implications for policy alternatives. S3.
