Identifying Key Processes Affecting Long-Term Site Productivity

  • Chapter
Impacts of Forest Harvesting on Long-Term Site Productivity

Abstract

The world population and consumer demand for forest products continue to increase [1]. In the face of possible dramatic climate change, the carbon-sequestering and carbon storage function of forests is becoming ever more important [2, 3,4]. The pressure to increase the area of unharvested forest reserves for wilderness, old growth and ecological reserves is growing; the 12% figure suggested by the Brundtland Commission for the area of forests to be set aside in reserves [5] is now widely accepted. In the face of these social and environmental pressures, the need to conserve, and where possible increase, the long-term productivity of those forests that are to be managed for wood fibre has never been greater. Sustainability is high on the political agenda of many nations, and nowhere is this more true than in forestry.
