The Forests Handbook ; Applying Forest Science for Sustainable Management Volume 2 دانلود رایگان کتاب لاتین «کتابچه جنگل؛ استفاده از علم جنگل برای مدیریت پایدار (جلد دوم)» EDITED BY JULIAN EVANS OBE BSc, PhD, DSc, FICFor T.H. Huxley School of Environment, Earth Sciences and Engineering, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, University of London, United Kingdom Description The future of the world's forests is at the forefront of environmental debate. Rising concerns over the effects of deforestation and climate change are highlighting the need both to conserve and manage existing forests and woodland through sustainable forestry practices. The Forests Handbook, written by an international team of both scientists and practitioners, presents an integrated approach to forests and forestry, applying our present understanding of forest science to management practices, as a basis for achieving sustainability.Volume One presents an overview of the world's forests; their locations and what they are like, the science of how they operate as complex ecosystems and how they interact with their environment. Volume Two applies this science to reality; it focuses on forestry interventions and their impact, the principles governing how to protect forests and on how we can better harness the enormous benefits forests offer. Case studies are drawn from several different countries and are used to illustrate the key points. Development specialists, forest managers and those involved with land and land-use will find this handbook a valuable and comprehensive overview of forest science and forestry practice. Researchers and students of forestry, biology, ecology and geography will find it equally accessible and useful. Table of Contents List of contributors. Preface to Volume 1. Preface to Volume 2.

Silvicultural guidelines دانلود رایگان کتاب لاتین «دستورالعمل های جنگلشناسی» The Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water and State of NSW are pleased to allow this material to be reproduced for educational or non-commercial purposes in whole or in part, provided the meaning is unchanged and its source, publisher and authorship are acknowledged. Specific permission is required for the reproduction of photographs and images. Silviculture Silviculture is the art and science of forest management. It encompasses the management of forests for economic benefit (such as sawlogs, veneer logs, honey), environmental benefit (such as flora, fauna, water) and social benefit (such as visual landscape, recreation, heritage). Often these benefits are not compatible. For example, the highest economic return may be gained by clearfelling a forest, but this can have detrimental effects on environmental and social values. Silviculture is a science because there is much known about the processes that occur naturally in native forests, and the impact of these processes on the activities of people. However, forests are extremely complex natural systems. Determining the best management regime within the context of this complexity and the competing benefits that can be derived from the forest is the art of silviculture. Why not one silvicultural regime There is great diversity in the composition, structure, productive condition and environmental values of the private native forests of New South Wales. This is due to the range of natural environments in NSW, and the response of the forests to past use (including grazing, logging and other clearing) and fire. Because of this diversity there is no single silvicultural prescription that can be applied uniformly to all forests. Regulation of private native forestry in NSW From 1 August 2007, the harvesting of native forest on private land in NSW has been regulated by the requirements of the Native Vegetation Act 2003 (NV Act) and the Native Vegetation Regulation 2005, incorporating the Private Native Forestry Code of Practice (PNF Code). The PNF Code sets standards for forest operations in private native forests. It is based on the principles of ecologically sustainable forest management (ESFM) which requires the maintenance of the full suite of forest values. These values include both biodiversity and timber production. As a component of this, the PNF Code requires the long term maintenance of a forest structure. The Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) is responsible for administering the logging of native forests. A private native forest manager will, in the first instance, need to contact DECCW to obtain an approved PNF property vegetation plan (PVP). Note: These guidelines should be used in conjunction with the PNF Code. It is critical that all forest management planning is undertaken in consideration of the relevant PNF Code. دانلود کتاب با فرمت PDF در قالب فرمت فشردهRAR با حجم 0.8 مگابایت: رمز فایل فشرده: www.noandishaan.com

Sampling Techniques for Forest Inventories ; Applied Environmental Statistics دانلود رایگان کتاب لاتین «شیوه های نمونه برداری برای آماربرداری در جنگل ؛ با کاربرد در علم آمار محیط زیستی » Document details Title : Sampling techniques for forest resource inventory. AuthorsShiver, B. D.; Borders, B. E. BookSampling techniques for forest resource inventory. 1996 pp. xii + 356 pp. ISBN0-471-10940-1Record Number19970604413 Abstract The book was written as a textbook that clearly explains the sampling methods associated with forest inventory for the practitioner. Examples are used extensively throughout the book to illustrate various estimators and to demonstrate different uses for sampling methods. Problems (with answers) are also included at the end of each chapter. The 11 chapters are: Introduction; A review of necessary statistics and notation; Elementary sampling methods: selective, simple random and systematic sampling; Horizontal point sampling; Stratified random sampling; Ratio and regression estimators; Double sampling or two-phase sampling; Multistage sampling - inventorying large acreages; Inventory methods for estimating stand growth; 3P and line intersect sampling; and Estimating wildlife population sizes. There is a subject index. [h=2]Book Description[/h]Sound forest management planning requires cost-efficient approaches to optimally utilize given resources. Emphasizing the mathematical and statistical features of forest sampling to assess classical dendrometrical quantities, Sampling Techniques for Forest Inventories presents the statistical concepts and tools needed to conduct a modern forest inventory. The book first examines design-based survey sampling and inference for finite populations, covering inclusion probabilities and the Horvitz–Thompson estimator, followed by more advanced topics, including three-stage element sampling and the model-assisted estimation procedure. The author then develops the infinite population model/Monte Carlo approach for both simple and complex sampling schemes. He also uses a case study to reveal a variety of estimation procedures, relies on anticipated variance to tackle optimal design for forest inventories, and validates the resulting optimal schemes with data from the Swiss National Forest Inventory. The last chapters outline facts pertaining to the estimation of growth and introduce transect sampling based on the stereological approach. Containing many recent developments available for the first time in book form, this concise and up-to-date work provides the necessary theoretical and practical foundation to analyze and design forest inventories. دانلود کتاب با فرمت PDF در قالب فرمت فشردهRAR با حجم 2.1 مگابایت: رمز فایل فشرده: www.noandishaan.com

Designing Green Landscapes Managing Forest Ecosystems Volume 15 دانلود رایگان کتاب لاتین«طراحی مناظر سبز» از سری26جلدی مدیریت اکوسیستم های جنگل(جلد15) :Editors Klaus von Gadow · Timo Pukkala Foreword by Klaus von Gadow and Timo Pukkala Series Editors Klaus Gadow Georg-August-University,Göttingen, Germany Timo Pukkala University of Joensuu, Joensuu, Finland and Margarida Tomé Instituto Superior de Agronomía, Lisbon, Portugal ABOUT THIS BOOK The ‘multiple path’ principle represents a robust theoretical framework for designing forested landscapes A useful reference text for researchers and graduate students in forest management, ecology, modeling and landscape planning Meets the need for realistic planning horizons and adaptive management Von Gadow and Pukkala’s unique, Designing Green Landscapes, presents the latest thinking in adaptive management for forest ecosystems. Based on the ‘multiple path’ principle, this approach links species choice and silvicultural methods with changing demands and changing environmental conditions, to ensure continuous adaptation, often several times within the lifetime of a tree. The ‘multiple path’ principle at the core of this approach represents a robust theoretical framework for designing forested landscapes. It provides a logical basis both for coordinating spatial objectives and for integrating varied forms of expertise; it limits planning horizons to realistic timeframes; and it allows for forecasts based on current real attributes of spatially explicit land parcels. This is in stark contrast with traditional forestry practices which simply assess the forest resource at regular time intervals and prescribe standard management schedules for specific forest types. Presenting new approaches to land management, this book represents a useful reference text for researchers and graduate students in forest management, ecology, modelling and landscape planning. It will also provide a valuable resource for professionals working for Land Management Agencies or as environmental consultants.

Rich in habitat and species diversity, forests may contribute to increase ecosystem stability. They can absorb the effects of unwanted deposition and other disturbances and protect neighbouring ecosystems by maintaining stable nutrient and energy cycles and by preventing soil degradation and erosion. They provide much-needed recreation and their continued existence contributes to stabilizing rural communities. Forests are managed for timber production and species, habitat and process conservation. A subtle shift from multiple-use management to ecosystems management is being observed and the new ecological perspective of multi-functional forest management is based on the principles of ecosystem diversity, stability and elasticity, and the dynamic equilibrium of primary and secondary production. Making full use of new technology is one of the challenges facing forest management today. Resource information must be obtained with a limited budget. This requires better timing of resource assessment activities and improved use of multiple data sources. Sound ecosystems management, like any other management activity, relies on effective forecasting and operational control. The aim of the book series Managing Forest Ecosystems is to present state-of-the-art research results relating to the practice of forest management. Contributions are solicited from prominent authors. Each reference book, monograph or proceedings volume will be focused to deal with a specific context. Typical issues of the series are: resource assessment techniques, evaluating sustainability for even-aged and uneven-aged forests, multi-objective management, predicting forest development, optimizing forest management, biodiversity management and monitoring, risk assessment and economic analysis. دانلود کتاب با فرمتPDF در قالب فایل فشرده RAR با حجم4.7 مگابایت: رمز فایل فشرده: www.noandishaan.com
