Basis for Understanding Compatibility Among Wood Production and Other Forest Values

In the debate over forest mgmt., many issues are portrayed as tradeoffs between biophysical & socioeconomic components of ecosystems. This portrayal ignores potential opportunities for compatible changes in outputs among alternative mgmt. strategies. In response, a research effort called the Wood Compatibility Initiative examines biophysical & socioeconomic compatibility of managed forests. This report discusses joint production & provides examples of compatible wood production (CWP) at each of 4 scales: stand, watershed-landscape, ecological province, & region level. Discusses the progress made toward understanding compatibility & presents a strategy for synthesizing the broad collection of research info. on CWP.Haynes, Richard W. is the author of 'Basis for Understanding Compatibility Among Wood Production and Other Forest Values' with ISBN 9780756732936 and ISBN 075673293X.
