ISBN:
Category : Boundary Waters Canoe Area (Minn.)
Languages : en
Pages : 47
Book Description
"In 1999, the Superior National forest experience a severe blowdown event that resulted in extensive areas of high concentrations of fuels in the Boundary Water Canoe Wilderness [sic] and adjacent developed areas along the Gunflint Trail [a 57-mile paved roadway that begins in Grand Marais, MN and ends at Seagull Lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness near the U.S. border with Ontario, Canada]. Extensive fuel treatments were conducted to reduce this fuel hazard. This report contains an evaluation of the use and effectiveness of these fuel treatments and the resultant fire behavior that occurred in both treated and untreated areas during the May 2006 Ham Lake Fire on the Superior National Forest, located in northern Minnesota. A synthesis of previous reports on the Cavity Lake Fire, which occurred during the summer of 2006, is used to compare with Ham Lake Fire behavior and effects"--Page 7.

Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Management Options
Author: James M. Vose
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1466572752
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 494
Book Description
Forest land managers face the challenges of preparing their forests for the impacts of climate change. However, climate change adds a new dimension to the task of developing and testing science-based management options to deal with the effects of stressors on forest ecosystems in the southern United States. The large spatial scale and complex interactions make traditional experimental approaches difficult. Yet, the current progression of climate change science offers new insights from recent syntheses, models, and experiments, providing enough information to start planning now for a future that will likely include an increase in disturbances and rapid changes in forest conditions. Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Management Options: A Guide for Natural Resource Managers in Southern Forest Ecosystems provides a comprehensive analysis of forest management options to guide natural resource management in the face of future climate change. Topics include potential climate change impacts on wildfire, insects, diseases, and invasives, and how these in turn might affect the values of southern forests that include timber, fiber, and carbon; water quality and quantity; species and habitats; and recreation. The book also considers southern forest carbon sequestration, vulnerability to biological threats, and migration of native tree populations due to climate change. This book utilizes the most relevant science and brings together science experts and land managers from various disciplines and regions throughout the south to combine science, models, and on-the-ground experience to develop management options. Providing a link between current management actions and future management options that would anticipate a changing climate, the authors hope to ensure a broader range of options for managing southern forests and protecting their values in the future.

Border Flows
Author: Lynne Heasley
Publisher: Canadian History and Environme
ISBN: 9781552388952
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Declining access to fresh water is one of the twenty-first century's most pressing environmental and human rights challenges, yet the struggle for water is not a new cause. The 8,800-kilometer border dividing Canada and the United States contains more than 20 percent of the world's total freshwater resources, and Border Flows traces the century-long effort by Canada and the United States to manage and care for their ecologically and economically shared rivers and lakes. Ranging across the continent, from the Great Lakes to the Northwest Passage to the Salish Sea, the histories in Border Flows offer critical insights into the historical struggle to care for these vital waters. From multiple perspectives, the book reveals alternative paradigms in water history, law, and policy at scales from the local to the transnational. Students, concerned citizens, and policymakers alike will benefit from the lessons to be found along this critical international border.
