The Amazon
Rain Clouds over Amazonian Forest The Amazon rainforest is one of the world’s greatest conservation challenges. This vast equatorial ecosystem is home to one fifth of the planet’s plant and animal species, more than 200 indigenous cultures, and 30 million people in search of sustenance and wealth. Carbon stocks equivalent to more than a decade of global fossil fuel emissions are stored in the wood of its trees. Even slight climate-induced changes in the forest’s metabolism could undo the modest gains of the Kyoto Protocol in slowing global warming. The forest also releases enough water to the atmosphere via evapotranspiration and to the ocean via river outflow to influence world climate and ocean circulation systems; and in doing so it also sustains the regional climate on which it depends. The Amazon at a Glance
  • Basin area 7 million sq km (2.7 million sq mi) 1/4 th of the world’s species 20% of world’s flow of freshwater 7 trillion tons of water evaporated each year Deforestation in 2002 (Brazil): 25,000 km

Research Interests The overall goal of my lab's research program is to understand the processes controlling community dynamics of temperate and tropical forests. To achieve this, we use a combination of empirical and modeling approaches. Field studies provide data to calibrate individual-based, species-specific models of tree performance (e.g. mortality, growth, reproduction, dispersal) in relation to plant resource availability. The models are used to predict attributes at the community, landscape, and regional levels and then model predictions are compared with independent data. The underlying assumption of this approach is that forest dynamics at the community and landscape levels can be understood as the aggregate, species-specific behavior of individual trees that interact spatially.

Research Interests:
The goal of my research program is to develop a mechanistic understanding of processes driving the cycling of carbon and nutrients in both natural and managed forests. In particular, I am interested in studying feedbacks within the plant-soil system that control both the availability of nutrients in soil, and losses of nutrients from ecosystems. This work involves research at a wide range of scales: from the quantification of ecosystem-level fluxes of carbon and nutrients to the study of plant and microbial metabolism. Currently my lab is working on three distinct projects: Recovery of soil and ecosystem processes following disturbance in jack pine (Pinus banksiana) forests Composition, internal cycling and losses of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) along a temperate forest fertility gradient

This module includes a special section on Fire Ecology . Here's what's inside:
  • Introduction
  • Background Information
  • Student Activities:
  • Adopt-A-Forest
    Forests support a diversity of plants and animals that vary according to the geographic location of the forest. In this activity, students will identify a section of a local forest or wooded area to study and investigate the types of plants and animals that live there. Through this investigation, students will identify the biological and structural diversity within a forest ecosystem.
  • Cast of Thousands
    Student will further explore the variety of life in their adopted forest and will discover the importance of this biological diversity. They will take measurements, in much the same way as a forester does, to draw conclusions abut the overall health of their forest. As an extension, students will compare the information that they have collected with that of another class in a different region.
  • The Nature of Plants
    Through a series of experiments, students will learn the importance of photosynthesis and the elements needed for photosynthesis to take place. They will also discover the factors necessary for healthy plant growth and the detrimental effects of a variety of environmental stresses.

Mangrove Forest Ecology THE MANGROVE FOREST
MAP Working Paper by Alfredo Quarto,
Director, Mangrove Action Project Probably no other distinct plant community has attracted as much curiosity and scientific attention for as long as have the mangrove forests. "Rollet's (1981) annotated bibliography lists 5,608 published titles through 1975 with one of the first being the written account from the chronicle of Nearchus, dating back to the Greek mariners of 325 BC." (Snedaker, S.C., University of Miami, Division of Marine Biology and Fisheries) LIVING AT THE EDGE OF THE SEA Photo - Mangrove Forest, Bhitankanika,Orissa, India "One perceives a forest of jagged, gnarled trees protruding from the surface of the sea, roots anchored in deep, black, foul-smelling mud, verdant crowns arching toward a blazing sun...Here is where land and sea intertwine, where the line dividing ocean and continent blurs, in this setting the marine biologist and the forest ecologist both must work at the extreme reaches of their disciplines..."

Forest Management Policies
Mixed-conifers and aspens. Photo by Keith Pohs. President Theodore Roosevelt's decision to set aside vast tracts of western highland forests was in response to widespread exploitation by logging operations that began to sweep across the West in the late 1870s. He specifically intended for these "forest reserves" to ensure watershed protection and wildlife preservation. Since that time, varying political, social, economic and scientific factors have resulted in changes in forest management policies that have had a variety of intended and unintended consequences. Gifford Pinchot became head of the Division of Forestry in 1898 and under President Roosevelt was named Chief Forester of the redefined U.S. Forest Service. National forest management was guided by Pinchot’s principle, “the greatest good of the greatest number in the long run.” During this era, the term "conservation" was used to describe the use of natural resources wisely and efficiently, as opposed to "preservationism," the protection of intact wilderness areas from development, a sentiment that was still uncommon, but growing. During his government service, the number of national forests increased from 32 in 1898 to 149 in 1910 for a total of 193 million acres.

ISSUES
Most forest research at the National Wetlands Research Center focuses on forested wetlands, the most common and widespread wetland type in the South. They include bottomland hardwood forests, cypress-tupelo swamps, and mangrove forests, and are of great economic and ecological value. Despite dramatic losses this century (80% of bottomland hardwoods in the lower Mississippi Valley alone), southern forested wetlands still account for more than a third of all wetlands in the contiguous 48 states.

78. A Theory Of Forest Dynamics : The Ecological Implications Of Forest Succession M
Dr. Harald Bugmann, Professor of Mountain Forest ecology, ETH Zurich, Switzerland For example, landscape ecological modeling and paleoforest dynamics
http://www.blackburnpress.com/theoroffordy.html
By Herman H. Shugart
To the human eye, a forest is a slowly changing ecosystem that, superficially, looks alike from one year to the next. This seeming quiet though is a balance between the tremendous progenerative potential of trees and an equally tremendous mortality rate. The intrinsic nature of the trees that comprise a forest make it all but impossible to collect complete data sets on the dynamics of natural forests and our understanding of the long-term dynamics of forests is based largely on scientific inference. Because of this reliance on inference, mathematical models of forest dynamics offer a valuable formalization of what we believe to be the important mechanisms involved in forest succession.
Originally published in 1984, A Theory of Forest Dynamics is intended for scientists and graduate students in ecology and forestry. The book includes: a review of ecologic succession; coverage of forest dynamics models and detailed analysis of several models of forest succession. Mathematic models of forest dynamics are inspected and evaluated. The models are applied to ecologic problems on scales ranging from small forest gaps to entire landscapes and over years to millennia.
"Almost twenty years after its first publication, this book continues to be a highly valuable resource for forest ecologists, whether they are engaged in dynamic modeling or not. It provides a thorough, mathematically underpinned theory of forest succession with a large array of application examples. I am thrilled that this volume is available again."

Introduction
Developments in the management and conservation of forest resources on a world scale are making increasing demands for knowledge of the constitution and functioning of tree populations in the wild and the manipulation of these resources to meet production objectives. The Forest Ecology and Management programme encompasses a very wide range of subjects, including botany, genetics, silviculture, ecophysiology and forest management, and makes use of the considerable expertise which exists in the Schools of Forestry and Ecological Science within the Institute. Edinburgh University is uniquely placed to offer education in Forest Ecology and Management having the substantial resources of the School of Biological Sciences , particularly the long experience of teaching and research in forestry and resource management.
