Sustainable Forest Management
Sustainable forest management (SFM) is not a new concept. However, its popularity has increased in the last few decades because of public concern about the dramatic decrease in forest resources. The implementation of SFM is generally achieved using criteria and indicators (C
Smart and Sustainable Planning for Cities and Regions
This book comprises a selection of the top contributions presented at the second international conference “Smart and Sustainable Planning for Cities and Regions 2017”, held in March 2017 in Bolzano, Italy. Featuring forty-six papers by policy-makers, academics and consultants, it discusses current groundbreaking research in smart and sustainable planning, including the progress made in overcoming cities’ challenges towards improving the quality of life. Climate change adaptation and mitigation of global warming, generally identified as drivers of global policies, are just the “tip of the iceberg” when it comes to smart energy transition. Indeed, equally relevant towards this current transformation – and key topics in this volume – are ICTs, public spaces and society; next economy for the city; strategies and actions for good governance; urban-rural innovation; rethinking mobility. The book’s depth in understanding and insightfulness in re-thinking demonstrate the breaking of new ground in smart and sustainable planning. A new ground that policy-makers, academics and consultants may build upon as a bedrock for smart and sustainable planning.
Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Forestry in Central Europe
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 growth, competitiveness and employment creation, especially in rural areas. From 2001 to 2003, the E...
Forest Inventory-based Projection Systems for Wood and Biomass Availability
This book provides detailed descriptions of the forest biomass projection systems used in 22 countries in Europe and North America, as well as four European-wide systems. Separate chapters focus on the concepts of estimation of availability of woody biomass, compare and classify the different projection systems, and discuss the challenges and opportunities for the further development of these systems.
I conti di Marsciano e i Marescotti a Parrano
Dopo una dominazione esclusiva -durata quasi tre secoli- da parte dei conti di Marsciano sul feudo di Parrano, qui alla fine del Cinquecento si insediava la famiglia Marescotti, inserendosi all'interno di un codominio baronale stretto con gli stessi conti. Le ricerche pubblicate in questo libro ricostruiscono la storia dei conseguenti difficili rapporti di convivenza nati tra queste due famiglie, e tra loro e la comunità. Sono stati presi in esame i presupposti che hanno portato i Marescotti da Vignanello a Parrano, e che hanno favorito i contrasti intra-familiari, incanalatisi nella spirale della violenza. Non si è dimenticato di contestualizzare questi episodi all’interno della storia generale, in un periodo caratterizzato da una incontrollabile violenza nobiliare all'interno dello Stato Pontificio. Le carte di processo del Tribunale criminale del Governatore di Roma, utilizzate qui in modo preponderante, hanno permesso di revisionare e di completare la storia dei singoli eventi fino ad ora raccontati in modo lacunoso e nebuloso.
National Forest Inventories
The book presents the current state and good practices of national forest inventories in monitoring wood resources and demonstrates pathways for harmonisation and improved common reporting. Beyond a general overview over availability and use of wood resources in different countries, it provides a unique collection of original contributions from national forest inventory experts with in-depth descriptions of current NFI methods in assessing wood availability and wood use in European countries, and selected countries from America and Asia.The main topics are national definitions and improvements in common reporting of forests available for wood supply, stem quality and assortments, estimation ...
