Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: USDA Forest Service Experimental Forests and Ranges (EFRs) are scientific treasures, providing secure, protected research sites where complex and diverse ecological processes are studied over the long term. This book offers several examples of the dynamic interactions among questions of public concern or policy, EFR research, and natural resource management practices and policies. Often, trends observed – or expected -- in the early years of a research program are contradicted or confounded as the research record extends over decades. The EFRs are among the few areas in the US where such long-term research has been carried out by teams of scientists. Changes in society’s needs and values can also redirect research programs. Each chapter of this book reflects the interplay between the ecological results that emerge from a long-term research project and the social forces that influence questions asked and resources invested in ecological research. While these stories include summaries and syntheses of traditional research results, they offer a distinctly new perspective, a larger and more complete picture than that provided by a more typical 5-year study. They also provide examples of long-term research on EFRs that have provided answers for questions not even imagined at the time the study was installed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forests are in decline, and the threats these outposts of nature face—including deforestation, degradation, and fragmentation—are the result of human culture. Or are they? This volume calls these assumptions into question, revealing forests’ past, present, and future conditions to be the joint products of a host of natural and cultural forces. Moreover, in many cases the coalescence of these forces—from local ecologies to competing knowledge systems—has masked a significant contemporary trend of woodland resurgence, even in the forests of the tropics. Focusing on the history and current use of woodlands from India to the Amazon, The Social Lives of Forests attempts to build a coherent view of forests sited at the nexus of nature, culture, and development. With chapters covering the effects of human activities on succession patterns in now-protected Costa Rican forests; the intersection of gender and knowledge in African shea nut tree markets; and even the unexpectedly rich urban woodlands of Chicago, this book explores forests as places of significant human action, with complex institutions, ecologies, and economies that have transformed these landscapes in the past and continue to shape them today. From rain forests to timber farms, the face of forests—how we define, understand, and maintain them—is changing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest science, like any science, is a continuous process. Research scientists collaborate in a largely informal, world-wide network to produce new knowledge- most frequently in the form of peer-reviewed articles-published in the scientific literature. It is difficult, even for those working in some area of forest science, to be aware of and understand the impact of this steady accumulation of theoretical and practical knowledge. For nonscientists, keeping up with forest science knowledge is indeed a daunting task.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kane Experimental Forest: Ensuring the Future of the Forests Kane Experimental Forest (kef), were originally part of the Allegheny National Forest. On March 23, 1932, the land was formally dedicated to research use for the Allegheny Forest Experiment Station (now the Northeastern Research Station). The kef was established to promote the study of the unglaciated portion of the beech-birch-maple hemlock forest type that made up such a large part of the Station's territory. Today, the Experimental Forest serves as the field laboratory for the re search project Understanding and Managing Forest Ecosystems of the Allegheny Plateau Region, which is headquartered at the Forestry Sciences Laboratory in Irvine, Pennsylvania. The headquarters of the Kane Experimental Forest provide offices for Experimental Forest personnel, a conference building for meetings and training sessions, and temporary quarters for visiting scientists and students working on the forest. The office facilities are open year-round, while living accommodations are generally available May through October. The residential facilities provide rustic accommodations for college classes for a field trip, or longer term quarters for up to five residents.

The book is well supported with a number of examples, and well labelled diagrams to help build imagination of the concept in the minds of students and teachers alike. The book begins with the fundamentals of ecology, concepts related to Autecology and Synecology. The later part lays emphasis on our understanding of terrestrial forest ecosystems in India and the world, the major changes in these ecosystems, their underlying causes and possible solution which can be taken up at grassroots levels.We hope that the book shall find a great deal of popularity among students, teachers and environmental enthusiasts. We look forward to suggestions for improvement.

Download or read book Distribution and Abundance of Snags in the Sagehen Creek Basin, California written by and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The distribution of snags by tree species in the eastern Sierra Nevada of California generally reflects the associated timber type. Where present, however, lodgepole pine (Pinus conrorta Dougl.) forms a large proportion of the snags present. Few snags of any species were present in the Jeffrey pine (P. jeffrryi Grev. & Balf. in A. Murr.) timber type in a study at Sagehen Creek Basin, in Nevada County. Simple regression analysis showed weak but significant relationships between snag density and canopy height, canopy cover, and slope. Multiple regression analysis were also weak, but revealed that snag density increased as size of natural openings increased. These results indicate that most snags in the study area were formed by the action of water (i.e., meadows, creeks) and fire. Thus, managers could concentrate snag surveys (and protective measures) near water and natural openings. Management of riparian areas is especially important because such areas are usually readily accessible to the public (e.g., fuelwood cutters). Aerial photography should be useful in locating areas of highest snag density; regression analysis appears to be of marginal usefulness.

This book was released on 2013-01-20 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been widespread interest in applying new forest practices based on concepts presented in U.S. Forest Service General Technical Report PSW-GTR-220, "An Ecosystem Management Strategy for Sierran Mixed-Conifer Forests." This collection of papers (PSW-GTR-237) summarizes the state of the science in some topics relevant to this forest management approach, presents case studies of collaborative planning efforts and field implementation of these new practices, and clarifies some of the concepts presented in GTR 220. It also describes a method for assessing forest heterogeneity at the stand level using the Forest Vegetation Simulator and a new geographic information system tool for project-level planning that classifies a landscape into different topographic categories. While this collection of papers presents information and applications relevant to implementation, it does not offer standards and prescriptions. Forest management should be flexible to adapt to local forest conditions and stakeholder interests. This report does, however, strive to clarify concepts and present examples that may improve communication with stakeholders and help build common ground for collaborative forest management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To stripe a surface serves to distinguish it, to point it out, to oppose it or associate it with another surface, and thus to classify it, to keep an eye on it, to verify it, even to censor it. Throughout the ages, the stripe has made its mark in mysterious ways. From prisoners' uniforms to tailored suits, a street sign to a set of sheets, Pablo Picasso to Saint Joseph, stripes have always made a bold statement. But the boundary that separates the good stripe from the bad is often blurred. Why, for instance, were stripes associated with the devil during the Middle Ages? How did stripes come to symbolize freedom and unity after the American and French revolutions? When did the stripe become a standard in men's fashion? "In the stripe," writes author Michel Pastoureau, "there is something that resists enclosure within systems." So before putting on that necktie or waving your country's flag, look to The Devil's Cloth for a colorful history of the stripe in all its variety, controversy, and connotation.

This book was released on 2007-07-17 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This completely new edition of Terrestrial Vegetation of California clearly documents the extraordinary complexity and richness of the plant communities and of the state and the forces that shape them. This volume is a storehouse of information of value to anyone concerned with meeting the challenge of understanding, managing or conserving these unique plant communities under the growing threats of climate change, biological invasions and development."—Harold Mooney, Professor of Environmental Biology, Stanford University "The plants of California are under threat like never before. Traditional pressures of development and invasive species have been joined by a newly-recognized threat: human-caused climate change. It is essential that we thoroughly understand current plant community dynamics in order to have a hope of conserving them. This book represents an important, well-timed advance in knowledge of the vegetation of this diverse state and is an essential resource for professionals, students, and the general public alike."—Brent Mishler, Director of the University & Jepson Herbaria and Professor of Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley
