Maccleery Douglas W (31 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good. For more than a century, Americans have carried on a debate about their forests over how and why to manage them, and the sometimes-heated discussions continue today. In American Forests, Douglas MacCleery traces this debate from the time that forest management first came to the United States, through the conservation and environmental movements, on up to 2011, when the book was last updated.MacCleery's history of recovery establishes that the "timber famine" that Theodore Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot so stridently forecast in the early twentieth century never occurred. He shows that logged lands have come back, either through natural processes or human effort, unless converted to agricultural or urban use. Also, many species of wildlife--once diminished--are again abundant, forested watersheds are better protected, and the number of forest acres that burn each year has been dramatically reduced. Nonetheless, as MacCleery points out, the new forests are different from the original forests, which had evolved according to nature's rhythms and in response to native peoples' significant manipulation. And while some wildlife species thrive under the new conditions, others do not. Appreciation of the forest as an ecosystem increases, but the debate is not over.…

MacCleery recounts how settlers removed much of the American forest for agriculture and commerce during the 19th century.

Today there is more forestland in the U.S. than there was 75 years ago. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The progress of forest management in the United States: A broad and bounded path that leads us to the goal of sustainability Or a tree that branches as it grows Or chaos Four noted scholars offer their views on the evolution of forestry. Hal Salwasser, dean and director of the forest research laboratory at Oregon State University's College of Forestry, poses provocative questions about the nature of forestry as the discipline seeks to meet society's needs while conserving the resource. John Fedkiw, senior policy adviser and analyst for USDA Secretary's Office for 28 years, believes the same pathway that has led forestry through the thickets of multiple-use and ecosystem management can now take us to our new goal, sustainability. Douglas W. MacCleery, senior policy analyst in forest and rangeland management for the National Forest System, finds reason for optimism in the record of the past, where he sees evidence that forestry can meet its latest challenge. V. Alaric Sample, president of the Pinchot Institute for Conservation, cautions that conserving biodiversity will require new approaches and adjustment of our course along the pathway. These papers enlighten and illuminate sustainability both as a dynamic goal and a dynamic process and outline the challenges it presents to society, it's policy makers, and forest managers. They help us to understand sustainability in its political dimensions and to approach sustainability systematically as a dynamic, integrative societal process on the land.…
