Recreational and Environmental Markets for Forest Enterprises
It is now increasingly recognized that forests have multiple functions, and can provide opportunities for leisure, recreation and tourism, and other environmental benefits, as well as timber. In general, such "public goods" are assumed not to be marketable. However, this book challenges this assumption, and shows how these issues can be tackled from an economics and marketing perspective.The work is based on an EU-funded project, conducted from four university or research centres: Hamburg (Germany), Padua (Italy), Vienna (Austria) and Wageningen (The Netherlands). Many case studies and original surveys are presented from these countries, which provide practical solutions to market these forest enterprises. These empirical data are then related to economic models concerning public goods. This book is relevant to those studying or involved in marketing in the forest tourism, recreation and leisure industries.
Spatial Accuracy Assessment in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences
This international symposium on theory and techniques for assessing the accuracy of spatial data and spatial analyses included more than ninety presentations by representatives from government, academic, and private institutions in over twenty countries throughout the world. To encourage interactions across disciplines, presentations in the general subject areas of spatial statistics, geographic information systems, remote sensing, and multidisciplinary approaches were intermixed throughout the three days of sessions.
Continuous Cover Forestry
The large-scale application of new silvicultural systems has become a political reality in many parts of the world. This involves a gradual tarnsformation of traditional silvicultural practice towards Continuous Cover Forestry (CCF), also know as near-natural forest management, favouring mixed uneven-aged stands, site-adapted tree species and selective harvesting. Today, CCF systems are encountered in many parts of the world, but forest managers often lack the technical support for generating and evaluating treatment options for complex forest structures. Specific CCF-related resource assessment, forecasting and sustainable harvest control techniques have been developed, but details about their use are not widely known. The emphasis in the book is on quantitative methods and modelling.

Management Strategies to Adapt Alpine Space Forests to Climate Change Risks
Climate scenarios suggest that current forest stands will face radically different temperature and precipitation conditions in the future. Developing future strategies for forest management in the face of uncertain and highly variable forecasts of future site conditions is a great challenge. Here we have analyzed transnational case studies dealing with different manifestations of climate change effects. We intend to stimulate the discussion on management strategies to adapt forests in the Alps to climate change risks. The presented results are derived from the INTERREG project "Management Strategies to Adapt Alpine Space Forests to Climate Change Risks" that was implemented within the framework of the European Territorial Cooperation "Alpine Space Programme" 2007-2013.
World Forest Products Demand and Supply 1990 and 2000
Presents estimates of production and consumption for softwoods and hardwoods in five product groups: sawnwood and sleepers, solidwood panels, reconstituted panels, other industrial products and pulps.
Genug Holz für Stadt und Fluss? Wiens Holzressourcen in dynamischen Donau-Auen
Was wissen wir heute über die natürliche Produktivität der Auwälder an großen Flüssen vor der Regulierung und über deren ehemalige Funktion als Rohstoffquelle für erneuerbare Energie? Können wir aus einer historischen Rekonstruktion der ehemals verfügbaren Holzressourcen Rückschlüsse für ein nachhaltiges Ressourcenmanagement ziehen? Die Beantwortung dieser Fragen war Ziel des Forschungsprojekts „Genug Holz für Stadt und Fluss? - Wiens Holzressourcen in dynamischen Donau-Auen“. Am Beispiel der Wiener Donau-Flusslandschaft vor der Regulierung 1820 - 1830 untersuchte ein interdisziplinäres Team bestehend aus Flussmorphologen, Gewässer-, Vegetations- und Forstökologen sowie ...
