Forest Ecosystem Management and Timber Production: Divergence and Resource Use Resilience (The Earthscan Forest Library)

4.9/5 (19089 ratings)

Description:Timber sourcing is shifting from extraction from natural forests to forms of cultivation that are increasingly agricultural in nature. This book takes a multidisciplinary approach to examine the socio-political, biophysical and discursive dimensions of this divergence of wood production from forests. This analysis challenges the historical integration of wood production and forest ecosystem management exemplified by the institutions of forestry with their inherent wood/forest connection. This has significant implications for how wood and forest socio-ecological systems confront change and challenges ideas about how to achieve sustainability.Historically, the institutions of stewardship forestry were founded on ideals of sustainable systems in long-term equilibrium. However, these occur within rapidly evolving social and technological contexts that constantly challenge maintenance of any equilibrium. This creates considerable tension within wood and forest socio-ecological systems and their institutions and governance. Moving beyond adaptation to transformation, however, requires willingness to consider post-forestry conditions, such as integration of emerging wood cultivation systems into agricultural and landscape approaches, and increasing management of extensive forest ecosystems for non-wood values in the absence of wood production. The book includes four case studies: a global modelling of shifts in wood production, and three national case studies (Australia, Indonesia and New Zealand) each analysing shifts in resilience in wood and forest socio-ecological systems using a different disciplinary approach.This book will be of interest to advanced students, researchers and professionals in forestry, land use, conservation, rural studies and geography.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
