Forest Ecology By Van der Valk
Forest Ecology By Van der Valk. This volume provides an overview of recent advances in forest ecology on a variety of topics, including species diversity and the factors that control species diversity, environmental factors controlling distribution of forests, impacts of disturbances on forests (fires, drought, hurricane), reproduction ecology of both trees and understory species, and spatial organization of forests. Previously published in Plant Ecology, Volume 201, No.1, 2009.
Forest Ecosystems and Environments
Forest Ecosystems and Environments. Coastal East and Southeast Asia are characterized by wet growing seasons, and species-rich forest ecosystems develop throughout the latitudinal and altitudinal gradients. In this region, the Global Change Impacts on Terrestrial Ecosystems in Monsoon Asia (TEMA) project was carried out as a unique contribution to the international project Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystems. TEMA aimed to integrate forest ecosystem processes,
Forest Mensuration By Oscar Garcia
Forest Mensuration By Oscar Garcia. I decided to translate these notes in order to use them as a framework for Directed Studies courses in Forest Mensuration at the University of Northern British Columbia. They are used to organize the sequence of topics to be discussed, being complemented with readings from the standard textbooks. I resisted the temptation of tampering with the original text; a revision could easily have got out of hand in terms of time and effort. Some of the content is outdated
Forest Protection
Forest Protection. Thus forest protection also has a legal status and rather than protection from only people damaging the forests is seen to be broader and include forest pathology too. Thus due to this the different emphases around the world paradoxically suggest different things for forest protection.
In German speaking countries forest protection would focus on the biotic and abiotic factors that are non-crime related. Aprotected forest is not the same as a protection forest. These terms can lead to some confusion in English, although they are clearer in other languages. As a result, reading English literature can be problematic for non-experts due to localization and conflation of meanings.
Foundations of Engineering Geology By Tony Waltham
Foundations of Engineering Geology By Tony Waltham. This is the second edition of a book first published in 1994. The book is aimed primarily at students with no knowledge of geology and attempts to provide a distillation of the fundamental information in an easy-to-read and very visual format. The book can be considered as a springboard by which the reader may be launched into the complexities of topics presented in more weighty tomes, armed with sufficient basic knowledge to provide a better understanding of them.
