Synopsis The Forests Handbook, Volume 2 by : Julian Evans
The future of the world's forests is at the forefront of environmental debate. Rising concerns over the effects of deforestation and climate change are highlighting the need both to conserve and manage existing forests and woodland through sustainable forestry practices. The Forests Handbook, written by an international team of both scientists and practitioners, presents an integrated approach to forests and forestry, applying our present understanding of forest science to management practices, as a basis for achieving sustainability. Volume One presents an overview of the world's forests; their locations and what they are like, the science of how they operate as complex ecosystems and how they interact with their environment. Volume Two applies this science to reality; it focuses on forestry interventions and their impact, the principles governing how to protect forests and on how we can better harness the enormous benefits forests offer. Case studies are drawn from several different countries and are used to illustrate the key points. Development specialists, forest managers and those involved with land and land-use will find this handbook a valuable and comprehensive overview of forest science and forestry practice. Researchers and students of forestry, biology, ecology and geography will find it equally accessible and useful.

Synopsis The Food Forest Handbook by : Darrell Frey
Learn how to mix and match plants in unique combinations to establish bountiful landscapes and create genuine self-reliance in years to come. A food forest is a productive landscape developed around a mix of trees and perennials. Rooted in permaculture principles, this integrated approach to gardening incorporates a variety of plants such as fruit and nut trees, shrubs, vines, and perennial herbs and vegetables. Food forests can help increase biodiversity, protect valuable habitat for beneficial insects, and promote food security and resilience, all while providing an abundant harvest. The Food Forest Handbook is a practical manual for the design and management of a home-scale perennial polyculture garden. Simple, straightforward instructions guide the reader through: Getting started—site assessment and planning Tending the forest garden—maintaining soil health, succession planning, mulching, pruning and more The fruits of your labor—crop profiles, harvest, storage, nutrition and recipes This timely book makes the concept of food forests accessible to everyone, offering a unique approach to low-maintenance, high-yield, sustainable food production. “What happens if we were to drop the boundary between the built environment and nature? Wouldn’t we all be much better off? The Food Forest Handbook guides our first steps along that path.” —Albert Bates, author of The Biochar Solution “Through this in-depth practical book you will learn the strategies for effective planning, design, establishment and management of perennial polycultures . . . I recommend this book to all those who are bringing diversity to their planting schemes.” —Jude Hobbs, permaculture land-use consultant, designer, and educator, Cascadia Permaculture

Synopsis Edible Forest Gardens, Volume II by : Dave Jacke
An edible forest garden is a perennial polyculture of multipurpose plants. Most plants regrow every year without replanting: perennials. Many species grow together: a polyculture. Each plant contributes to the success of the whole by fulfilling many functions: multipurpose. In other words, a forest garden is an edible ecosystem, a consciously designed community of mutually beneficial plants and animals intended for human food production. Edible forest gardens provide more than just a variety of foods. The seven F's apply here: food, fuel, fiber, fodder, fertilizer, and "farmaceuticals," as well as fun. A beautiful, lush environment can be a conscious focus of your garden design, or a side benefit you enjoy."--from pub. website.

Synopsis Tropical Forestry Handbook by : Laslo Pancel
The aim of this Handbook is to cover all fields that are necessary for the management of tropical forest resources. It provides proven and/or promis ing concepts, methods and available comparative data. The exten sive references cited are a valuable source for further in-depth research on specific subjects. The handbook is addressed to forestry professionals, natural re source managers and all those interested in the understanding and hand ling of day-to-day problems of tropical forest resources. It is an attempt to present, in a concentrated form, the vast ex perience gathered in tropical forestry. The available knowledge although far from complete, does not permit us to stand idly by when confronted with the dwindling tropical forests. Excuses not to tackle this problem are not acceptable. The experience of the last decades gives us sufficient background to apply techniques and concepts successfully, to encom pass the complexity of the human and the natural tropical environment. The authors responsible for the respective sections have been recom mended by institutions or individuals specialized in the subject. Our thanks go to aH those unnamed individuals whose dedication and responsible work made this handbook a reality. Our gratitude also to all the colleagues who supported the handbook in its early stages by their firm commitment.
