| Tóm tắt: | This book provides a synthesis of the uses, impacts and sustainability of planted
forests by looking at the past, outlining the present situation and highlights the
outlook and issues for the future. The principles and key considerations of the
Voluntary Guidelines for Responsible Management of Planted Forests(FAO,
2006b) are cross-cutting throughout the book.
The first introductory chapter sets the scene for the book, briefly introducing
the role planted forests play, their strengths and weaknesses, and their potential
for the future.
Chapter 2 gives the origins of early planting and the evolution of planted
forests in recent history, awareness of the impacts of sound silviculture and more
recently the need to meet social, cultural, environmental and economic objectives and provide a wide range of goods and services.
Chapter 3 details, and gives some history to, the issue of definition of planted
forests highlighting the continuum of different forests and intensities of management (including planted forests) and trees outside forests across the landscape.
The chapter introduces the management objectives, whether productive or protective.
Chapter 4 synthesizes highlights of the FAO’s Global Planted Forests Thematic
Study(Del Lungo et al., 2006), including the results and analysis of the global survey
of planted forest 2005. Survey results are summarized on an area basis (1990, 2000,
2005), according to forest plantations, planted semi-natural forests and total planted
forests, by productive or protective purpose. Additional information according to
ownership, species, growth rates, age classes, rotation and end uses is also summarized. Detailed area tables by country are available in the Appendix.
Chapter 5 summarizes the key findings of FAO’s Global Planted Forests Outlook 2005-2030(Carle and Holmgren, 2007), which highlights that although
planted forests cover less than 3% of land area, they contribute a considerably
higher proportion of overall goods (wood, fibre, fuel) and environmental and
social services, now, and increasingly in the future.
