Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Keys for Appraising Forest Fire Fuels The proposed keys use criteria of size, quantity, and arrangement that can be de fined by rather simple observations. The sug gested terminology, which is completely new, defines these attributes in quantitative terms to the extent currently possible. Some dimen sions are based on fire behavior theory and drying regimes to be used in the National fire-danger Rating System, but many, at this stage, represent mainly experienced judgment.

This book was released on 2018-08-12 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forest Fuels, Prescribed Fire, and Air Quality Fire in the woods has been and continues to be one of management's severest problems and is a major deterrent to: wood production, wildlife habitat, recreation, and water quality and yield. All these uses are limited and sometimes destroyed over vast areas by wild, uncontrollable fire. Thus, the huge group of problems, generally lumped together under the term fire protection, has always been a major significance in the total task of managing the forests. A powerful element in fire protection is prescribed burning for abating the danger of wildfire. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Gain and Loss of Moisture in Large Forest Fuels Classic Reprint written by Arthur P. Brackebusch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gain and Loss of Moisture in Large Forest Fuels Log moisture content did not provide a usable index of seasonal, monthly, or current fire danger severity. There are two main reasons for the failure' (1) fire danger, as now measured, is based upon the moisture content of fine fuels, which respond to weather much more rapidly than logs, and (2) two logs of approximately the same size had such different moisture contents at one time and from one time to another that the results from one were not comparable with the results from the other. Log moisture was found to decrease continuously, almost without regard to midsummer rain, from the last decade of June, which received approximately inch of rain, to the first decade after August 15 that received a similar amount. Rain falling between June 25 and August 15 had practically-no lasting effect upon log moisture content. Fire danger, in fuel types which include much pole and log-sized fuel, can be expected to increase greatly between July 10 and August 15 because of constant moisture losses. The present system of fire danger measurement makes no allowance for any intensification of the cumulative factor of danger during this period. The evidence indicates that the two main factors which determine how dry a log will become are its moisture content at the beginning of the summer desiccation period, and the length of the desiccation period. The log moisture at the beginning of the period will depend to a large extent on the amount of spring rain. It is therefore believed that a good index of the inflammability of large fuels during late season can be worked out on the basis of the amount of spring rain and the length of the summer desiccation period. A direct measure of log flammability can be obtained by measuring the average moisture content of the logs themselves, provided logs of the same size can be found which will have the same moisture content at any time and which will react the same from year to year.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice!

[Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Book excerpt: "The White Paper "Vegetation Fires and Global Change" is a global state-of-the-art analysis of the role of vegetation fires in the Earth System and is published as a collective endeavor of the world\2019s most renowned scientists and research groups working in fire science, ecology, atmospheric chemistry, remote sensing and climate change modeling. The aim of the White Paper is to support the endeavour of the United Nations and its affiliated processes and networks, notably the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR), the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015 "Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters" and the Global Wildland Fire Network, to address global vegetation fires for the benefit of the global environment and humanity. The White Paper provides insight into the complexity of global vegetation fire issues and rationale for coordinated, international action in crossboundary fire management at global scale."--Back cover.
Download or read book Gender and Forests written by Carol J. Pierce Colfer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This enlightening book brings together the work of gender and forestry specialists from various backgrounds and fields of research and action to analyse global gender conditions as related to forests. Using a variety of methods and approaches, they build on a spectrum of theoretical perspectives to bring depth and breadth to the relevant issues and address timely and under-studied themes. Focusing particularly on tropical forests, the book presents both local case studies and global comparative studies from Africa, Asia, and Latin America, as well as the US and Europe. The studies range from personal histories of elderly American women’s attitudes toward conservation, to a combined qualitative / quantitative international comparative study on REDD+, to a longitudinal examination of oil palm and gender roles over time in Kalimantan. Issues are examined across scales, from the household to the nation state and the global arena; and reach back to the past to inform present and future considerations. The collection will be of relevance to academics, researchers, policy makers and advocates with different levels of familiarity with gender issues in the field of forestry.

For each group, the primer provides essential information about the characteristics, challenges, and purposes of these institutional-quality alternative assets in the context of a well-diversified institutional portfolio. Other topics addressed by this primer include tail risk, due diligence of the investment process and operations, measurement and management of risks and returns, setting return expectations, and portfolio construction. The primer concludes with a chapter on the case for investing in alternatives.
