Springer-Verlag add to basket From the publisher's announcement: 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 adequate strategies for conservation and management. The authors have long experience in both academic and practical matters related to tropical forest ecology and management.

English On-line SERC's Research Program: Forest Ecology Laboratory Short Description The Forest Ecology Laboratory studies the structure, growth and function of forest ecosystems, particularly the canopy portion of the forest, especially of deciduous forests. We study the exchange of energy and materials between the canopy and the atmosphere, the ecology of canopy organisms, and the physiological behavior of canopy surfaces. We hypothesize that the structure of the canopy influences the way forests work and are working to clarify the rules relating canopy structure and function.

Forest Ecology Back to our roots The long-held view that Britain was once concealed under a continuous swathe of dense woodland is no longer valid. Experts are now convinced that the picture was much more like a patchwork made up of large tracts of trees interspersed with areas of open ground temporarily clear of trees due to lightning or other natural forces. What is of particular interest to Dr Simmons is the landscape ecology aspect of restoring these woodlands; determining how a site rich in birds or plants, for instance, could act as a resource for other woodlands. How could a rare butterfly be protected? How far can it fly, what food plants does it need and where are these plants? The use of Geographic Information Systems, a specialism of the Department of Forestry, allow researchers to model scenarios such as these, allowing them to plan for conservation in a more strategic way. The Gloucestershire project is investigating how ash can be improved for sale by selecting for beneficial characteristics such as straightness. The aim is to put added value onto this high quality timber, which is produced mainly for the domestic market.

Forest Ecology and Management Restoration Restoration is a complex process, especially when balancing human needs with natural functions for a given ecosystem. Fundamentally, our restoration efforts seek to understand and mimic natural processes. It combines traditional wisdom and scientific insights to transform land to healthy and vibrant ecosystems. Such restored land will provide sustained ecological services and products while maintaining its ecological integrity. The following are some aspects of our work in progress: 1) Understanding the process of natural restoration and succession Augmenting natural restorative processes 3) Restoring native biodiversity to areas invaded by exotic weeds Restoring non-productive agricultural land utilizing organic farming methods that integrates trees and other beneficial vegetation.

Following is an overview and a few relevant odds and ends. Epidemiology Epidemiology is the study of disease in populations and factors that affect rate of disease increase. Here are the types of the things that fall under the rubric of epidemiology: Mathematical analysis of disease over time in populations. Study of factors affecting rate of disease progress: time of leaf wetness, weather, plant development, etc. Mostly environmental factors. Modelling of disease epidemics. Allows one to vary starting conditions and see the effects. In some cases these are set up like games where you are a farmer and try to maximize income. No games for forest diseases! Prediction of effects of disease management methods. Monitoring for infection conditions to determine when fungicides or other measures are necessary. Reduces pesticide use. This is an important part of IPM for diseases of orchard crops and other agricultural crops. Instead of spraying according to the calendar on a regular basis, the grower may have a little weather station with a computer attached that tells him when sprays are really necessary. Or may subscribe to a disease forecasting service for the same purpose. Terms Control vs. management of disease.

University of California College of Natural Resources Department of ESPM LTREB The goal of our lab is to know how and why forests change. Given the scope of human enterprise (e.g., pollution, land transformations, biotic additions and losses), many forest ecosystems are experiencing fundamentally novel challenges. In the face of this uncertainty, we need to understand the dynamics well enough to anticipate the likely direction and magnitude of responses. These insights must apply to forests in the real world with all the attendant complexities. Therefore robust, quantitative field studies form the core of my research program. The objective is to produce answers to pertinent questions that a physicist accepts as valid and that a naturalist acknowledges as authentic. Currently our research centers on three basic questions: 1) the interactive control of the disturbance regime on ecosystem processes; 2) the explicit effects of tree demography on community composition and ecosystem function; and 3) the mechanisms of resource capture and allocation in forests under conditions of multiple resource limitation.

Applying Ecological Principles to Management of the U.S. National Forests Summary The U.S. National Forest System is a diverse and unique resource that must be managed within the context of competing and shifting social expectations. The policies under which the system operates have changed over the century, along with the values society places on wood production, wilderness protection, recreation, and biodiversity conservation. Proposals for major changes in the management of the National Forests are once again being debated. The consensus among forest ecologists is that all forests, despite their complexity and variability, should be managed as ecosystems. Sustainable forest management practices must be based on an understanding of how natural forest ecosystems work. We have identified major ecological considerations that should be incorporated in sound forest management policy and their potential impacts on current practice: Maintenance of soil quality and nutrient stocks that hold the key to current and future forest productivity may necessitate adjusting timber harvest rates and leaving more large woody debris on cutover sites. Protection of water quality and yield and prevention of flooding and landslides call for greater attention to the negative impacts of logging roads and the value of undisturbed buffer zones along streams and rivers.

Do you want a career that makes a difference? Then, why not think about a career in forest sciences. WHAT IS FOREST SCIENCES? Forests are one of the most important terrestrial ecosystems on earth covering about one quarter of the land surface. Forests are diverse in nature, ranging from conifer-dominated cool temperate forests to tropical rain forests where the greatest species richness on earth can be found. Forests are vital to the future of our planet. Forest sciences is about the application of intellectual ideas and scientific skills to the understanding of this sustainable natural resource for a wide range of purposes, including the production of timber and other products, environmental protection, and the maintenance, and the enhancement of animal and plant habitats. Central to forest sciences is an understanding of the biology and ecology of forest ecosystems. WHY STUDY AT ABERDEEN?

Most of their research is conducted in extensively managed forests and is designed to understand the effects of forest management on the distribution and ecology of forest vertebrates. Surveys of birds, small mammals and amphibians are conducted in various forest habitats to document species abundance and habitat use. For birds, nest monitoring and radio-telemetry of fledglings of focal species are used to investigate productivity as they relate to forest conditions. Results are used to develop or improve forest habitat management guidelines for species groups or for biodiversity goals.
