Globally, forest vegetation and soils are both major stores of
terrestrial organic carbon, and major contributors to the annual
cycling of carbon between the atmosphere and the biosphere. Forests
are also a renewable resource, vital to the everyday existence of
millions of people, since they provide food, shelter, fuel, raw
materials and many other benefits. The combined effects of an
expanding global population and increasing consumption of
resources, however, may be seriously endangering both the extent
and future sustainability of the world's forests. About thirty
chapters cover four main themes: the role of forests in the global
carbon cycle; effects of past, present and future changes in forest
land use; the role of forest management, products and biomass on
carbon cycling, and socio-economic impacts.
