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.
The roles of local knowledge and global policies in managing small-scale rural forests are discussed, and reports from Eurodendro 2008 and a conference on advances in forest entomology are published.
