Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases such as ozone, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and chlorofluorocarbons, are all increasing in the atmosphere. These gases are directly affecting biological processes in trees and ecological processes in forests. They are also causing considerable radiant energy to be trapped near the earth’s surface resulting in the so-called “greenhouse” effect which may significantly alter global climate in the 21st century. However, this issue is subject to some controversy.
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"
