Soils of Tropical Forest Ecosystems
An understanding of the characteristics and the ecology of soils, particularly those of forest ecosystems in the humid tropics, is central to the development of sustainable forest management systems. The present book examines the contribution that forest soil science and forest ecology can make to sustainable land use in the humid tropics. Four main issues are addressed: characteristics and classification of forest soils, chemical and hydrological changes after forest utilization, soil fertility management in forest plantations and agroforestry systems as well as ecosystem studies from the dipterocarp forest region of Southeast Asia. Additionally, case studies include work from Guyana, Costa Rica, the Philippines, Malaysia, Australia and Nigeria.
THE HUMAN ELEMENTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE: Life Stories of Four Environmental Changemakers in Indonesia
How did Indonesia, once the epicenter of tropical deforestation, become a model for environmental governance? Through the stories of four leading Indonesians, we explore how individuals can change systems to benefit nature and society. The four Indonesians show how expertise, commitment, and strategic opportunism can solve environmental harm. Wahjudi Wardojo, a forester, shows how committed bureaucrats can drive positive change from within the system. Achmad Santosa, Indonesia’s leading environmental lawyer, in contrast, shows the importance of legal changes to enable positive environmental change. Daddy Ruhiyat, tells a different story, of how to build alliances among governments, companies, civil society, and communities to achieve local change. Finally, Sulistyowati Irianto, emphasizes how improving gender and indigenous rights through education and activism can lead to a healthier environment.
How are we doing? A tool to reflect on the process, progress and priorities of your multi-stakeholder forum
This handbook explains how to implement How are we doing?, a tool that enables participatory reflective monitoring in multi-stakeholder forums (MSFs). MSFs are spaces that include a wide range of stakeholders in a topic or region, to engage in dialogue, decision making and/or the implementation of activities for common landscape goals. How are we doing? supports enabling conditions to allow the MSF to achieve its goal(s) equitably and effectively. Here we provide a step-by-step process on how to do that. MSFs have gained much attention around the world because of their potential to improve collaboration between different actors, sectors and governance levels to address complex challenges, wh...
Dipterocarp Forest Ecosystems: Towards Sustainable Management
The Dipterocarp forests of South-East Asia constitute a dominant component of the world's tropical forests. As such, they are intertwined with a Pandora's box of problems that have plagued the world for decades; Over- and underdevelopment, poverty, hunger, population growth, exploitation of natural resources, environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, the debt crisis and, of late, climate change. The world community has responded to the crucial role of these forests and the dangers facing them with funds, and a myriad of programmers, projects, institutions, conferences and networks. Apparently neither a lack of knowledge nor finance constrains the dissipation of sustainable management ...
