Book Synopsis Linking Land-use Projections and Forest Fragmentation Analysis by : Andrew J. Plantinga
Download or read book Linking Land-use Projections and Forest Fragmentation Analysis written by Andrew J. Plantinga and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An econometric model of private land-use decisions is used to project land use to 2030 for each county in the continental U.S. On a nat. scale, forest area is projected to increase overall between 0.1 & 0.2% per year between now & 2030. However, forest area is projected to decrease in a majority of regions, including the key forestry regions of the South & the Pacific Northwest Westside. Urban area is projected to increase by 68 million acres, & cropland, pasture, rangeland, & Conservation Reserve Program land is projected to decline in area. Regional econometric models are needed to better represent region-specific economic relationships. County-level models of forest fragmentation indices are estimated for the Western U.S. Illus.

Book Synopsis Resource and Market Projections for Forest Policy Development by : Darius M. Adams
Download or read book Resource and Market Projections for Forest Policy Development written by Darius M. Adams and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-09-18 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The text provides literature surveys on relevant modeling issues and policy concerns. It demonstrates the application of a modeling system using a "base case" 50-year projection and a small set of scenarios. These illustrate, for example, the effects of changes in public harvest policies, variations in investments in silviculture, and globalization. It is aimed at policy makers, researchers and graduate students who are building or using forest sector models.
Book Synopsis Area Changes in U.S. Forests and Other Major Land Uses, 1982 to 2002, with Projections to 2062 by : Ralph J. Alig
Download or read book Area Changes in U.S. Forests and Other Major Land Uses, 1982 to 2002, with Projections to 2062 written by Ralph J. Alig and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes area changes among major land uses on the U.S. land base for historical trends from 1982 to 2002 and projections out to 2062. Historically, 11 million acres of forest, cropland, and open space were converted to urban and other developed uses from 1992 to 1997 on non-federal land in the contiguous U.S. The largest percentage increase was in urban use, which grew by 10% or 7.3 million acres between 1997 and 2001. Forest land was the largest source of land converted to developed uses such as urbanization. Urban and other developed areas are projected to continue to grow substantially, in line with a projected U.S. population increase of more than 120 million people over the next 50 years. Figures.

Book Synopsis Forest Land Conversion, Ecosystem Services, and Economic Issues for Policy by : Robert A. Smail
Download or read book Forest Land Conversion, Ecosystem Services, and Economic Issues for Policy written by Robert A. Smail and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continued conversion and development of forest land pose a serious threat to the ecosystem services derived from forested landscapes. There are unavoidable challenges involved in quantifying the threats from forest conversion and their related costs to human well-being: (1) most attempts to quantify the costs of forest conversion on ecosystem services will necessarily rely on specific ecological science that is often emerging, changing, or simply nonexistent; (2) given the interconnected nature of ecosystem products and processes, any attempt to quantify the effects of forest conversion must grapple with jointness in production; (3) the ecology and the human dimensions of ecosystems are highly specific to spatial-temporal circumstances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents recent estimates on the rate of change of major land classes. Aggregated globally, multiple impacts of local land changes are shown to significantly affect central aspects of Earth System functioning. The book offers innovative developments and applications in the fields of modeling and scenario construction. Conclusions are also drawn about the most pressing implications for the design of appropriate intervention policies.

Book Synopsis Forest Fragmentation and Land Conversion by : Kelly C. Murphy
Download or read book Forest Fragmentation and Land Conversion written by Kelly C. Murphy and published by Nova Novinka. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world-wide conversion of forest land to commercial and residential use is increasingly affecting the ability of ecosystems to provide basic services to humankind. Conversion of forest land affects both private and public forest ownerships. Predicted increases in population growth over the coming decades are expected to result in steadily increasing fragmentation of currently cohesive forest lands. This development can potentially reduce the goods and services derived from both publicly and privately owned forests. This book uses the ecosystem service conceptual framework as a basis for understanding the ecological effects of forest-land conversion, and as a basis for understanding the economic issues that arise in designing policies to conserve forest ecosystems.
