商品描述

This book introduces the complex world of carbon dynamics within forest ecosystems, particularly in boreal zones, while also incorporating findings from selected temperate areas. It explores how these dynamics are influenced by management strategies and operations, providing a comprehensive understanding of how forests can be managed to enhance carbon uptake and thus, mitigate climate change.

Divided into five parts, the volume begins by addressing the characteristics of global and boreal forests and their contribution to carbon storage. The following sections explore carbon dynamics in both natural and managed forests, including their impact on forest succession. The text also examines how management practices affect carbon dynamics, tree growth, and carbon stocks. Strategies to mitigate climate change through forest management, including the management of soil carbon and reforestation efforts are discussed. Finally, topics such as pre-commercial management, commercial thinning, and forest fertilization and their roles in managing boreal forest ecosystems for carbon sequestration and climate benefits are addressed.

Aimed at professionals, researchers and students in forestry, environmental science, and climate change studies, this book provides valuable insights into developing management strategies that enhance carbon uptake and accumulation in forest ecosystems. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of how forest management can contribute to climate change mitigation. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in sustainable forestry practices.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書介紹了森林生態系統中碳動態的複雜世界,特別是在北方地區,同時也納入了來自選定溫帶地區的研究結果。它探討了這些動態如何受到管理策略和操作的影響,提供了對於如何管理森林以增強碳吸收,從而減緩氣候變遷的全面理解。

本書分為五個部分,首先探討全球和北方森林的特徵及其對碳儲存的貢獻。接下來的章節探討了自然森林和管理森林中的碳動態,包括它們對森林演替的影響。文本還檢視了管理實踐如何影響碳動態、樹木生長和碳儲量。書中討論了通過森林管理減緩氣候變遷的策略,包括土壤碳的管理和再造林努力。最後,書中探討了如預商業管理、商業間伐和森林施肥等主題,以及它們在管理北方森林生態系統以促進碳封存和氣候效益中的角色。

本書旨在為林業、環境科學和氣候變遷研究的專業人士、研究人員和學生提供有價值的見解,幫助他們制定增強森林生態系統中碳吸收和累積的管理策略。讀者將全面了解森林管理如何有助於減緩氣候變遷。這是對於任何對可持續林業實踐感興趣的人來說,都是一本必備的資源。

作者簡介

The research career of Prof. Seppo Kellomäki has spanned from the early 1970s to today. His research activities deal mainly with the structure and functioning of boreal forests and sustainable management of boreal forests for varying ecosystem goods and services. His early studies focused on the multiple uses of forest and management of Scots pine forest for high-quality timber. However, his main contribution to forest science deals with climate change impacts on the dynamics of the boreal forest ecosystem in conditions where forests and forest-based industry are important for the welfare of society. In this context, his focus has been on experimental studies on how the elevating temperature, atmospheric carbon dioxide, and changes in precipitation likely affect the physiology and growth of boreal tree species. These studies have provided a solid base for modelling. This has made it possible to understand how climate change likely affects the long-term dynamics of the boreal forest ecosystem and the future of forest management. The main questions have been how management should be used and developed to avoid detrimental effects of successional dynamics and management of boreal forest ecosystem for different ecosystem services. Many of his research papers further address the problems of how forest management and forests should be adapted to climate warming in the boreal conditions, and how management might be used to mitigate warming.

教授Seppo Kellomäki的研究生涯始於1970年代初期,至今已持續多年。他的研究活動主要涉及北方森林的結構與功能,以及北方森林的可持續管理,以提供多樣的生態系統產品與服務。他早期的研究專注於森林的多重用途及對於優質木材的蘇格蘭松森林管理。然而,他對森林科學的主要貢獻在於探討氣候變遷對北方森林生態系統動態的影響,特別是在森林及森林產業對社會福祉至關重要的情況下。在這個背景下,他的重點是進行實驗研究,探討升高的氣溫、大氣中的二氧化碳以及降水變化如何可能影響北方樹種的生理與生長。這些研究為建模提供了堅實的基礎,使我們能夠理解氣候變遷如何可能影響北方森林生態系統的長期動態及未來的森林管理。主要問題在於如何使用和發展管理,以避免繼承動態的有害影響,以及如何管理北方森林生態系統以提供不同的生態系統服務。他的許多研究論文進一步探討了在北方條件下,森林管理和森林應如何適應氣候變暖,以及管理如何用來減緩變暖的問題。
