Tapping the Green Market : Management and Certification of Non-timber Forest Products
ISBN: 9781853838101 / Angielski / Miękka / 474 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There is a rapidly growing interest in, and demand for, non-timber forest products (NTFPs). They provide critical resources across the globe fulfilling nutritional, medicinal, financial and cultural needs. However, they have been largely overlooked in mainstream conservation and forestry politics. This volume explains the use and importance of certification and eco-labelling for guaranteeing best management practices of non-timber forest products in the field. Using extensive case studies and global profiles of non-timber forest products, this work not only seeks to further our comprehension...

The Complex Forest: Communities, Uncertainty, and Adaptive Collaborative Management
ISBN: 9781933115139 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Complex Forest systematically examines the theory, processes, and early outcomes of a research and management approach called adaptive collaborative management (ACM). An alternative to positivist approaches to development and conservation that assume predictability in forest management, ACM acknowledges the complexity and unpredictability inherent in any forest community and the importance of developing solutions together with the forest peoples whose lives will be most affected by the outcomes. Building on earlier work that established the importance of flexible, collaborative approaches...

Biotechnology of Food Crops in Developing Countries
ISBN: 9783211832400 / Angielski / Twarda / 227 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Tropical crops such as cowpea, yam, plantain, and cassava are heavily underresearched but, in addition to rice, maize, wheat, and potato, are important as primary or secondary food staples in the developing countries. The modern tools of molecular and cellular technology offer the opportunity not only to make substantial gains in knowledge of these crops, but also they overcome some of the obstacles which presently restrain both the genetic improvement and the productivity of these crops in tropical farming systems. Increased nutritional value of these crops, reduced post-harvest...

Tropical Forest Ecology: The Basis for Conservation and Management
ISBN: 9783540237976 / Angielski / Twarda / 295 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Research in tropical forestry is confronted with the task of finding strategies to alleviate pressure on remaining forests, and techniques to enhance forest regeneration and restore abandoned lands, using productive alternatives that can be attractive to local human populations. In addition, sustainable forestry in tropical countries must be supported by adequate policies to promote and maintain specific activities at local and regional scales. Here, a multi-disciplinary approach is presented, to better the understanding of tropical forest ecology, as a necessary step in developing...

Spatial Modelling in Forest Ecology and Management: A Case Study
ISBN: 9783540433576 / Angielski / Twarda / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume focuses on the integration of spatial statistics, GIS- technology, ecosystem studies and scenario modelling. Its main aim is to extend the information gained at the standard level to larger spatial scales, such as to forest districts, forest landscapes or to the total area of Lower Saxony. The studies demonstrate the potential and limitations of regionalization approaches for forest ecological variables. The results provide valuable spatial information for forest managers and landscape planners as well as for policy-makers. Some spatial models outlined in this book have been...

The Pinewood Nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus: Proceedings of an International Workshop, University of Évora, Portugal, August 20-22, 2001
ISBN: 9789004132672 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. According to the European Plant Protection Organization, the pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is a quarantine organism at the top of the list of the pathogenic species. PWN may be found in North America (Canada, USA and Mexico) and in East Asia (Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan) and has a highly destructive capability towards conifers, in a relatively short time, causing serious economic damage in Japan, China and Korea. This nematode surveying is extremely important and a correct identification of nematode species associated with conifers is essential. Several conifers...

Scenarios on Forest Management in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Ukraine
ISBN: 9789004137271 / Angielski / Twarda / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Forestry in Central and Eastern European countries is going through a turbulent phase, caused by an uncertain economic situation, ownership changes and envisaged memberships of the European Union. Additionally, recent developments in the environment give reasons for concern, like the effects of air pollution, acidification and possible climate change. Another recent development in Europe is the tendency to shift towards a more nature oriented forest management. The aim of the book is to give insight in possible future development directions of the forests of CEC and NIS countries in order to...

Norway Spruce Conversion: Options and Consequences
ISBN: 9789004137288 / Angielski / Twarda / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Up to the end of the 19th century, many European forests suffered from devastation and soil deterioration, which caused fears of timber shortage. In order to counteract this possible shortage, many forest areas were reforested with coniferous tree species, especially Norway spruce (Picea abies L.] Karst). Consequently, coniferous forests (often Norway spruce forests), consisting of trees of the same age, were established on many sites naturally dominated by broadleaves. As a result, damages caused by storm, snow, ice, drought, insects, fungi and possibly soil degradation seemed to occur more...

Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Forestry in Central Europe
ISBN: 9789004145894 / Angielski / Twarda / 179 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Current developments in Central Europe will have far-reaching consequences on the region's forestry and related institutional arrangements, such as forest administration, extension services and forest research. Future prospects for the rural population living on income from forestry will considerably depend on how individuals and organisations react in view of these changes. It will be vitally important how forest owners and managers apply new knowledge in forestry and how organisations best deal with the emerging changes. Innovation and entrepreneurship are main driving forces for economic...
