Forest History : International Studies on Socio-Economic and Forest Ecosystem Change 2 (Hardcover)

IUFRO Research Series

The International Union of Forestry Research Organizations (IUFRO), with its 14,000 scientists from 700 member institutions in 100 countries, is organized into nearly 300 research units that annually hold approximately 60 confer- ences, workshops and other meetings. The individual papers, proceedings and other material arising from these units and meetings are often published but in a wide array of different journals and other publications. The object of the IUFRO Research Series is to offer a single, uniform outlet for high quality publications arising from major IUFRO meetings and other products of IUFRO's research units.
The editing, publishing and dissemination experience of CABI Publishing and the huge spread of scientific endeavours of IUFRO combine here to make information widely available that is of value to policy makers, resource managers, peer scientists and educators. The Executive Board of IUFRO forms the Editorial Advisory Board for the Series and provides the monitoring and uniformity that such a high quality series requires in addition to the editorial work of the conference organizers.
While adding a new body of information to the plethora currently dealing with forestry and related resources, this series seeks to provide a single, uniform forum and style that all forest scientists will turn to first as an outlet for their conference material and other products, and that the users of information will also see as a reliable and reputable source.
Although the official languages of IUFRO include English, French, German and Spanish, the majority of modern scientific papers are published in English. In this series, all books will be published in English as the main language, allowing papers occasionally to be in other languages.
