Book (stand-alone)Volume/Biomass special study: georeferenced forest volume data for Latin America 2000
Also available in:
No results found.The assessment of environmental functions of forests is essential for FAO Forest Resources Assessment 2000 (FRA 2000). It directly relates to role of forests in the carbon cycling and maintenance of biological diversity. The present report deals with forest biomass estimate and specifically describes the progress made so far towards the establishment of a geographic information system and an electronic information system, containing integrated cartographic and tabular information for data analys is, modeling and the implementation of special studies on selected thematic elements. A global database on forest biomass is needed to support the information requirements of FRA 2000, including estimates for tree volume/biomass by broad type categories and political units. Information on forest volume and biomass is important for developing global perspectives on wood supply and for computations of carbon cycling for climate change analyses. -

No Thumbnail AvailableDocumentManagement and utilization of the tropical moist forest - from the FAO Committee on forest development in the tropics - extracts 1976This special issue of Unasylva has two main objectives. It brings to our readers an edited selection of some of the position papers of the important 4th Session of the FAO Committee on Forestry Development in the Tropics and, in doing, this, it emphasizes FAO's principal concern in the field of forestry: how to make the best and wisest use of man's least understood ecological formation, the moist tropical forest.
