Conservation Covenants
Author: Great Britain. Law Commission
Publisher: Stationery Office/Tso
ISBN: 9780102988321
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
In this report, the Law Commission make recommendations for the introduction of a new statutory scheme of conservation covenants in England and Wales. The recommendations to introduce such a scheme would create a new legal tool, enabling landowners to protect land in order to conserve and restore our natural and built environment. Conservation covenants would allow landowners voluntarily to create binding obligations on their own land to meet a conservation objective, such as preserving woodland, cultivating a particular species of plant or protecting a habitat for an animal, or farming land in a certain way. The proposed statutory scheme would give individual landowners the opportunity, using private agreements, to contribute to conservation efforts being made across England and Wales. The scheme will create a versatile, simple and cost-effective legal tool capable of: unlocking currently missed conservation opportunities by overcoming the legal difficulties faced when creating binding obligations; facilitating better ways to deliver existing conservation objectives; and providing assurance of long-term conservation benefits. The report includes a draft Conservation Covenants Bill, which would introduce the conservation covenant scheme into the law of England and Wales.

A Handbook of Global Freshwater Invasive Species
Author: Robert A. Francis
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 9780815378716
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
Invasive non-native species are a major threat to global biodiversity. Often introduced accidentally through international travel or trade, they invade and colonize new habitats, often with devastating consequences for the local flora and fauna. Their environmental impacts can range from damage to resource production (e.g. agriculture and forestry) and infrastructure (e.g. buildings, road and water supply), to human health. They consequently can have major economic impacts. It is a priority to prevent their introduction and spread, as well as to control them. Freshwater ecosystems are particularly at risk from invasions and are landscape corridors that facilitate the spread of invasives. This book reviews the current state of knowledge of the most notable global invasive freshwater species or groups, based on their severity of economic impact, geographic distribution outside of their native range, extent of research, and recognition of the ecological severity of the impact of the species by the IUCN. As well as some of the very well-known species, the book also covers some invasives that are emerging as serious threats. Examples covered include a range of aquatic and riparian plants, insects, molluscs, crustacea, fish, amphibians, reptiles and mammals, as well as some major pathogens of aquatic organisms. The book also includes overview chapters synthesizing the ecological impact of invasive species in fresh water and summarizing practical implications for the management of rivers and other freshwater habitats.

Managing Ingrown Douglas-fir Stands for Biodiversity, Forage and Timber
Author: O. A. Steen
Publisher: University of British Columbia Press
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
The Farwell Canyon project was established to explore treatment options for enhancing undergrowth vegetation cover, forage production, and tree growth in densely ingrown Douglas-fir stands of the Interior Douglas-fir very dry mild (IDFxm) biogeoclimatic subzone. Fire scar and tree age analyses along with stand structure observations suggest that many of these ingrown stands were considerably more open before European settlement. Stem reduction treatments applied to two ingrown sites in 200 included logging only (L), logging plus juvenile thinning (LT), and logging plus thinning plus underburning (LTB). No-treatment (NT) areas were also established. The logging treatment was modified from standard practices to harvest small merchantable stems and to initiate thinning of juvenile stems. The objective of this report is to compare third- and fifth-year (2003 vs. 2006) vegetation composition, forage production, and tree regeneration responses to these treatments on one site. Douglas-fir regeneration density increased in all treatments between 2003 and 2006. Cover of grasses increased substantially, due primarily to increased cover of pinegrass (Calamagrostis rubescens). The number of plots with bunchgrasses increased even though mean cover of bunchgrasses did not increase significantly. Shrub and forb cover remained generally low on all treatments. Biomass of combined forbs and graminoids increased significantly from 2003 to 2006 but did not differ significantly among treatments. These early results suggest that the logging treatment, with or without additional treatments, is leading to increased vascular plant cover and forage production. Tree regeneration density is still relatively low. The thinning and underburning treatments have reduced the fire hazard and prepared the stand for follow-up treatments to maintain a more open stand structure. The stand treatments applied in this study should be combined with other treatments to create various stand structures across the IDFxm landscape,corresponding to historic variability of disturbances within the IDFxm subzone.
