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
