Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the costs and benefits of using fuel treatments to reduce the risk of wildfires in the United States. It begins with an overview of the history of forest management in the US, and discusses how wildfire suppression efforts have contributed to the increase in severe wildfires. The book then discusses the different methods of fuel treatments, their effectiveness, and their potential ecological and economic impacts. The author argues that fuel treatments can be an effective way to reduce the risk of wildfires, but that they should be used in conjunction with other fire management strategies, such as prescribed burning and public education. The book concludes by calling for a more comprehensive approach to fire management, one that takes into account the social, economic, and environmental costs and benefits of different strategies. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in learning more about the complex issue of wildfire management. It provides a comprehensive overview of the costs and benefits of fuel treatments, and offers a nuanced perspective on the role of fire in forest ecosystems.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The U.S. Forest Service has adopted the concept and language of ecosystem services to describe the beneficial outcomes of national forest management. We review the economic theory of ecosystem services as it applies to public lands management, and consider what it implies about the types of biophysical and other data that are needed for characterizing management outcomes as changes in ecosystem services. Our intent is to provide a guide to policymakers, managers, researchers, and others for evaluating and describing the tradeoffs involved in the management of public lands. Characterizing ecosystem services fundamentally is about explaining the benefits of national forests to the American public, with an emphasis on addressing their interests and concerns about how public lands are managed. Our hope is that this report will foster dialog about what people value about national forests and how public land management agencies might best go about securing those benefits This item is printed on demand.
