Forest Management- Global Forest Recourses

1. Forest Management Forest Management- - Global Forest Re Rec courses ourses Global Forest In order to plan and implement prescriptive treatments for long-term and near-term forest management, forest inventories evaluate the forest's assets and provide qualitative and quantitative information. Carbon reservoirs in trees and roots, soils, and standing dead include commodities - timber for wood and pulp for paper - as well as biomass in living trees and roots. In a carbon asset management strategy, soil carbon is quantified and managed. Non-commodity forest assets, such as filtered, fresh water, carbon, wildlife habitat, and primary vs. net ecosystem productivity, should also be measured in forest inventories.

2. Over one-third of the world's land is covered by forest, which balances gas emissions, stabilizes climates, influences water cycles, produces food, and provides oxygen through its own respiration. It is likely that these non-commodity assets will be lost if global forestry is not sustainable. No matter how hard we try, we will never be able to replace or rebuild them in the short time we have left. To accomplish the goals and objectives of forest practices, forest managers must maintain or improve the health, condition, and aesthetics of the landscape, reduce the likelihood of catastrophic fires, and maintain canopy structure and diversity. Technology and software tools are often used to meet these demands. Analyzing land management decisions has been transformed by computer technology. There are many tools available currently, including GPS and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), relational databases, mapping technology, visualization software, and growth and yield simulators. Forest managers can make sound biological and economic management decisions using the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS), one of the latest products available to aid them in their decision-making. We are in the midst of an era of increased climate risk, so forest managers can use this software to model climate change and develop forest adaptations to it.
