Environmental and climate change is affecting forests and land use in numerous ways, including increasing the risk of geomorphic hazards. Such hazards include surface erosion, desertification and related land degradation. Yet it is often difficult to distinguish between the influences of climate change from those of changing forest land use, on geomorphic hazards.
LATEST PUBLICATIONS
Forests, bioenergy and climate change as well as the capacity of healthy and productive forests to mitigate climate change are the main topics of this issue.
This issue includes a report from the conference on “Old Forests, New Management” in Tasmania as well as an invitation to detail a PR and Communication Expert to IUFRO Headquarters for one year.
Two new IUFRO Occasional Papers are presented: No. 21 "Adaptations of Forests to Climate Change: A Multidisciplinary Review", and No. 20 "Communicating Forest Science: A Daily Task".
-Occasional Paper 21- The paper combines the physical science review with discussion of economic and social impacts.
-Occasional Paper 20- Proceedings of the Internat. Meeting "Communicating through the media – why and how"
