Book (stand-alone)Flagship2012年世界森林状况 2012本版《世界森林状况》详述了一个重要事实，即森林、林业和林产品对可持续发展至关重要。《世界森林状况》每两年出版一次。保护森林的最好方法就是可持续地经营管理森林并从其产品和生态系统服务中获益。林业行业现在面临的一个挑战就是如何宣传和推广这一理念。如果能贯彻实施可持续森林管理的原则并加大林产品及生态系统服务的比重，全球经济会更加绿色环保。 同前九版一样，《2012年世界森林状况》也旨在为支持林业相关政策和研究提供参考资料。此外，我期望书中提出的一些观点能引起人们的关注和讨论，以推动创新经济增长方式，使全球经济朝着更加绿色的方向发展。

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
