The overarching contribution of this book is a review and
assessment of the current and future impacts of globalization on
the world's forests. The work has been developed by the "Resources
for the Future" Task Force for the International Union of Forest
Research Organizations (IUFRO). Four key themes are addressed: the
effect of globalization on forests (including future trade flows);
plantations as the primary source of forest products and its
consequences, including plant breeding and forest health; the
effect of new products such as bio-products and markets on forests;
and the emergence of forest ecosystem services and their impact on
the landscape and human communities. These four themes are examined
in detail to map out the impacts of these trends for forests
throughout the world and at multiple scales, and how forest
research needs to be adapted to address these trends. Overall, the
volume provides a major synthesis of current thinking and knowledge
on the topic for advanced students, as well as policy-makers and
professionals in the forest sector.
