Sustainable Use of Forest Biomass for Energy
From time immemorial, firewood has been a very important source of energy for mankind. Later in history, wood for energy decreased its importance because of other more convenient and cheaper sources, mainly fossil fuels. Today, focus is again on use of forests as a producer of energy with main drivers being climate change, shortage and increasing prices of fossil fuel sources, and safety in energy supplies. However, intensive use of forest biomass is qu- tioned since fundamental ecological processes may be influenced negatively thus making up a trade-off with the benefits of using an otherwise sustainable source of energy. In this book, selected aspects of intensive use of forest b- mass for...
Ecology and Power
Power and social inequality shape patterns of land use and resource management. This book explores this relationship from different perspectives, illuminating the complexity of interactions between human societies and nature. Most of the contributors use the perspective of "political ecology" as a point of departure, recognizing that human relations to the environment and human social relations are not separate phenomena but inextricably intertwined. What makes this volume unique is that it sets this approach in a trans-disciplinary, global, and historical framework.

Ecological Bulletins, Targets and Tools for the Maintenance of Forest Biodiversity
Maintaining forest biodiversity by combining protection, management and restoration of forest and woodland landscapes is a central component of sustainable development. Evidence that there are threshold levels for how much habitat loss may be tolerated for viable populations of specialised species to be maintained. Policy-makers, businesses and managers pose questions about how to balance use of renewable forest resources and conserve biodiversity. Examples are presented on how biodiversity assessments can be made. Proposes how the critical gaps in our knowledge identified throughout the book could be filled through macroecological research and international co-operation.
Greener Forests
This publication comprises a 208 page text-book entitled 'Greener forests' which was published as part of an educational study campaign aimed initially at forest owners and others who deal with forestry. The textbook is accompanied by thematic booklets. The 'Greener Forests' campaign was an important step in the process of realising the vision of the Swedish Forest Policy promulgated in 1993. The campaign was carried out by the Swedish Board of Forestry in close cooperation with many partners including the forest industry, forest owners associations and NGOs, within the context of Agenda 21.
