Books in the Managing Forest Ecosystems series

This updated and expanded second edition adds the most recent advances in participatory planning approaches and methods, giving special emphasis to decision support tools usable under uncertainty. The new edition places emphasis on the selection of criteria and creating alternatives in practical multi-criteria decision making problems.

In this book is summarized those management principles that should be valid in areas where forests continuously are used for production, where biodiversity aspects are important as well as economy and productivity, and where demands on soil status and water quality are set.

The authors draw on the vast knowledge of forest ecology and management in the Nordic-Baltic region, and bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and general principles on the one hand, and practical forest management and policy development on the other.

This edited volume addresses a rising concern among natural resource scientists and management professionals about decline of the many plant and animal species associated with early-successional habitats, especially within the Central Hardwood Region of the USA.

Forest tree breeding has been ongoing for more than 70 years across Europe. In this book, we describe the state-of-art of breeding for the main forest tree species. motivation for breeding and breeding objectives; intraspecific genetic variability, breeding populations and breeding strategy;

The Management of Industrial Forest Plantations. These applications highlight the linkage between theory and practice and the contribution of models, methods and management planning approaches to the efficiency and the effectiveness of industrial plantations management planning.

Transgenic field trials started within the last decade but no transgenic pine plantations exist in 2005. Finally, Section V compares the status of regulatory oversight of transgenic forest trees between Canada and the United States.

This book discusses the historic range of variation (HRV) in the types, frequencies, severities and scales of natural disturbances, and explores how they create heterogeneous structure within upland hardwood forests of the Central Hardwood Region (CHR).

This book includes structured summaries of each chapter.Funded by the EU's Horizon 2020 programme, CLIMO has brought together scientists and experts in continental and regional focus assessments through a cross-sectoral approach, facilitating the implementation of climate objectives.
