Forests at the wildland-urban interface are at increasing risk due
to the impacts of urbanization. Conserving and managing these
forestlands for continued ecological and social benefits is a
critical and complex challenge facing natural resource managers,
land-use planners, and policymakers. Forests at the Wildland-Urban
Interface: Conservation and Management provides information,
strategies, and tools to enhance natural resource management,
planning, and policymaking at the wildland-urban interface. The
text is arranged in five sections: forestland changes at the
wildland-urban interface and why they are occurring; economic,
policy, and land-use planning tools that can be used to manage
growth; methods for communicating with and engaging the public;
ecosystem management tools for sustaining the provision of
ecological goods and services from interface forests; and ways in
which various types of landowners are pursuing conservation and
management of forests in the interface. By combining science and
management, theory and practical problem solving, this book
addresses a broad range of issues associated with the
wildland-urban interface and provides possible solutions. Natural
resource professionals and urban planners will find this a crucial
resource for coordinating and implementing sound policy and
practice.
The area where urban lands meet and interact with rural lands, the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), is developing into a major battleground on the environmental front. Forests at the Wildland-Urban Interface: Conservation and Management provides information, principles, tools, and case studies that enhance natural resource management, planning, and policy-making for the Wildland-Urban Interface. The text serves as an excellent guide and reference for natural resource professionals and urban planners as they seek insight on effective ways to address the challenges and opportunities associated with WUI issues as related to diminishing forest lands and natural vegetation areas.

Interest and initiatives in agroforestry education and training, as
in other aspects of agroforestry development, have increased
tremendously during the past decade. Coordination of such
educational activities was initiated by the first international
workshop on education in agroforestry organized by the
International Council for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) in Decem
ber 1982, at Nairobi, Kenya. Since then, agroforestry has been
incorporated into the curricula of many educational and training
institutions around the world. Moreover, several institutions have
developed entire academic programs specifically in agroforestry.
However, most of these activities are still isolated initiatives,
without common strategies or philosophies. This second
international agroforestry workshop was therefore planned to pro
vide a forum for reviewing progress, sharing programs and
experiences, and planning and coordinating future directions in
agroforestry education and training. The main objectives were to
review the on-going programs, to assess the scope of professional
education and training in relation to the perceived needs of
trained personnel, to recommend guidelines for further program
development, and to establish networking among institutions and
agencies involved in agroforestry education and training. These
proceedings contain the keynote papers, regional/country presenta
tions and conclusions and recommendations of the International
Workshop on Education and Training in Agroforestry held at the
University of Florida, Gainesville, USA in December, 1988. The
strategy of the workshop was to facilitate focused discussion on
identified issues by an invited group of world leaders in
agroforestry education and training."
The Forest Regeneration Manual presents state-of-the-art
information about current regeneration practices for southern pines
in the United States. Over 1.2 billion seedlings of five major
species -- loblolly, slash, longleaf, sand, and shortleaf -- are
planted each year. In 22 chapters, the Manual details fundamental
steps in establishing successful young pine plantations:
regeneration planning, including economic and legal aspects;
regeneration harvest methods; propagation by seed and vegetative
techniques; bareroot and container seedling culturing in the
nursery; measures of seedling quality; site potential; --
environment, associated vegetation, soils; matching species to
sites; site preparation -- mechanical and chemical methods, fire,
fertilization; seedling handling before planting; planting
practices and measures of regeneration success; promoting early
plantation growth and management of competing vegetation, insects,
disease, and wildlife.
