Book Synopsis Global Environmental Forest Policies by : Constance McDermott
Download or read book Global Environmental Forest Policies written by Constance McDermott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-08-12 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Market globalization and the globalization of environmental concerns have spurred demand for greater international accountability for forest stewardship. In response, a range of multi-lateral governmental and non-governmental initiatives have emerged to redefine the rules of global trade, and demand verification of the legality and/or sustainability of forest products originating from within and outside national boundaries. At the same time there is a lack of transparency and shared understanding about the environmental forest policies that already exist within the world's leading forest producing and consuming countries. The result is that many stakeholders have developed perceptions about a country's regulatory environment that are not consistent with what is actually taking place. This book provides a uniquely detailed and systematic comparison of environmental forest policies and enforcement in twenty countries worldwide, covering developed, transition and developing economies. The goal is to enhance global policy learning and promote well-informed and precisely tuned policy solutions.

Book Synopsis Carbon Management in British Columbia's Forests by : Mike Greig
Download or read book Carbon Management in British Columbia's Forests written by Mike Greig and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most ecosystems, the majority of the carbon is stored below ground as roots and decaying biomass or as organic carbon in the soil. [...] In both the forest and non-forest environment, when we measure the total carbon content we are measuring what is referred to as the "carbon stock." The carbon stored in forests is sequestered from the atmosphere through photosynthesis (the conversion of atmospheric CO2 into plant material using energy from the sun, releasing oxygen in the process) (Figure 1). [...] In some cases, acts of fire suppression and protection against insects lead to reductions in the affected areas and help maintain the level of carbon stored; however, uncertainty surrounds our ability to reduce the impacts of fire and insects on carbon over the long term or over large landscapes (see Section 2.2.1 below). [...] The Canadian Forest Service recently pointed out the important roles of forests and sustainable forest management in the global climate system: "forests play two important roles in the global climate system: first, they remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it in trees, litter and soil carbon, and second, they provide timber, fibre and energy to meet human demands. [...] In the February 2008 Speech from the Throne, the Premier outlined the following new or existing measures to reduce the province's carbon footprint: the zero net deforestation goal, the Trees for Tomorrow program, the restocking of all forest land, the Forests for Tomorrow program,2 the Bioenergy Strategy, the Pacific Carbon Trust, and new investments in carbon offset projects that benefit First Na.

Book Synopsis Forest Hydrology by : Devendra Amatya
Download or read book Forest Hydrology written by Devendra Amatya and published by CABI. This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forests cover approximately 26% of the world's land surface area and represent a distinct biotic community. They interact with water and soil in a variety of ways, providing canopy surfaces which trap precipitation and allow evaporation back into the atmosphere, thus regulating how much water reaches the forest floor as through fall, as well as pull water from the soil for transpiration. The discipline "forest hydrology" has been developed throughout the 20th century. During that time human intervention in natural landscapes has increased, and land use and management practices have intensified. The book will be useful for graduate students, professionals, land managers, practitioners, and researchers with a good understanding of the basic principles of hydrology and hydrologic processes.
Book Synopsis British Columbia's Inland Rainforest by : Susan Stevenson
Download or read book British Columbia's Inland Rainforest written by Susan Stevenson and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast temperate rainforests of coastal British Columbia are world renowned, but much less is known about the other rainforest located 500 kilometres inland along the western slopes of the interior mountains. The unique integration of continentality and humidity in this region favours the development of lush rainforest communities that incorporate both coastal and boreal elements. In British Columbia's Inland Rainforest, scientists bring together, for the first time, a broad spectrum of information about this distinctive ecosystem. They also consider the ecological consequences of human activities in the rainforest and present strategies for its management and conservation.
Book Synopsis North Pacific Temperate Rainforests by : Gordon Orians
Download or read book North Pacific Temperate Rainforests written by Gordon Orians and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North Pacific temperate rainforest, stretching from southern Alaska to northern California, is the largest temperate rainforest on earth. This book provides a multidisciplinary overview of key issues important for the management and conservation of the northern portion of this rainforest, located in northern British Columbia and southeastern Alaska. This region encompasses thousands of islands and millions of acres of relatively pristine rainforest, providing an opportunity to compare the ecological functioning of a largely intact forest ecosystem with the highly modified ecosystems that typify most of the world's temperate zone. The book examines the basic processes that drive the dynamic behavior of such ecosystems and considers how managers can use that knowledge to sustainably manage the rainforest and balance ecosystem integrity with human use. Together, the contributors offer a broad understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by scientists, managers, and conservationists in the northern portion of the North Pacific rainforest that will be of interest to conservation practitioners seeking to balance economic sustainability and biodiversity conservation across the globe.
Book Synopsis Setting the Standard by : Christopher Tollefson
Download or read book Setting the Standard written by Christopher Tollefson and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Setting the Standard chronicles the emergence and implications of an ambitious experiment in civil-society-led global governance: the Forest Stewardship Council. Drawing on a pioneering case study of this negotiation process, this book explores the challenges associated with implementing the FSC's global vision on the ground. Indeed, the establishment of an FSC standard for British Columbia was achieved only after difficult and protracted negotiations at the regional, national, and global levels. This important work also undertakes a detailed comparative analysis of FSC standards and standard-setting processes elsewhere and grapples with the broader implications for global governance and regulatory theory.
Download or read book Canada's Forests written by Ken Drushka and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2003-09-16 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ken Drushka analyses the changes in human attitudes towards the forests, detailing the rise of the late nineteenth-century conservation movement and its subsequent decline after World War I, the interplay between industry and government in the development of policy, the adoption of sustained yield policies after World War II, and the recent adoption of sustainable forest management in response to environmental concerns. Drushka argues that, despite the centuries of use, the Canadian forest retains a good deal of its vitality and integrity. Written in accessible language and aimed at a general readership, Canada's Forests will be a must-read for anyone interested in the debate about the current and future uses of this precious natural resource.

Book Synopsis Policies for Sustainably Managing Canada’s Forests by : Martin K. Luckert
Download or read book Policies for Sustainably Managing Canada’s Forests written by Martin K. Luckert and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than three quarters of Canada's forests under provincial control, provincial forest policies are crucial for encouraging the sustainable management of the nation's forests. Forest tenures, which allow private companies to manage public forest resources, are the key policy tool that provinces use to balance the requirements of sustainable management with the economic concerns of the forest industry. By offering an up-to-date comparative examination of contemporary provincial forestry policies, this book provides forest managers, policy-makers, scholars, and students with the information and concepts to critically examine Canada’s complex forest tenure systems. The authors look at tenure, stumpage fees, and other forest practices to assess how well different provincial schemes achieve the goals of sustainable forest management. They identify a number of essential policy attributes that could be used to guide tenure reform, consider potential barriers that could prevent meaningful change, and offer much-needed practical guidance on overcoming these obstacles.
