* This book has been developed as a forest inventory textbook for students and can also serve as a handbook for practical foresters. The book is divided into four sections. The first section deals mostly with sampling issues. First, we present the basic sampling designs at a fairly non-technical mathematical level. In addition, we present some more advanced sampling issues often needed in forest inventory. Those include for instance problems with systematic sampling, and methods for sampling vegetation or rare populations. *

Planted Forests
Uses, Impacts and Sustainability

Contents
1. History of tree planting and planted forests/ 2. The question of definitions/ 3. The global thematic study of planted forests/ 4. Wood from planted forests - global outlook to 2050/ 5. The multiple roles of planted forest/ 6. Policy, institutional and ownership issues/ 7. Sustainable silviculture and management/ 8. Summary and conclusions/ Index/
* Planted forests - despite being only seven per cent of the world's forest resources, have superseded naturally regenerating forests as the principal source of industrial wood products. Lessening the pressure for wood production, on natural forests, tree planting has released them to be managed for other purposes - carbon sinks, soil and water protection, conservation of biological diversity, recreation and amenity. Representing a complement, but not an alternative, to natural forests, planted forests have become increasingly important for reducing worldwide deforestation, loss of forest ecosystems and forest degradation. *

Sustainable Forestry Management and Wood Production in a Global Economy
CRC Press 2007.7
307 pp.(H)
ISBN 1-56022-165-8
8,700円
Contents
* Achieving a constant flow of forest goods and services to meet the world’s needs takes socially and environmentally acceptable solutions. Sustainable Forestry Management and Wood Production in a Global Economy offers a diverse set of learned viewpoints integrating production issues within sustainable forest management. Influences on decision making are discussed, such as pricing, replanting, and subsidies. Future challenges are examined in detail, pollution and climate change. This valuable resource is extensively referenced and includes useful tables and figures.
* Topics include: ・sustainable forestry from different scales ranging from local to international ・wood production and sustainable forest management in the United States ・development of conservation reserves and changes in forest management policies in Australia ・sustainability of European forests using examples from a variety of recent research projects ・barriers and opportunities for sustainable forestry in Central America ・silviculture and Scottish forestry at a time of change ・monitoring sustainable forest management in the Pacific Rim region ・increasing and sustaining productivity of tropical Eucalypt plantations over multiple rotations *

* A forest fire is any uncontrolled, non-structure fire that occurs in the wilderness. Wildlife behavior is often complex and variably dependent on factors such as fuel type, moisture content in the fuel, humidity, windspeed, topology, geographic location and ambient temperature. Weather patterns, such as heat waves droughts can also have a dramatic impact on the onset and outcome of wildfires. Fire is sometimes essential for forest regeneration, however, it often destroys forests and has dire social and economic consequences. This book looks at the underlying causes of forest fires, their ecological effects and preventive strategies. *
