The total value generated by a forest consists ofwood and non-wood goods and services. Goods andservices of the forest resource can be classifiedinto three broad categories, namely direct usebenefits, indirect use benefits and intermediate useservices. Direct use benefits include timber for constructionand furniture, wood for crafts and household tools,fire wood, construction poles, wild fruits, wildvegetables, wild herbs, honey, bush meat, insects forfood, bird eggs, medicinal products, thatch, grasshand-brushes, twig hand-brushes, weaving reeds,sand/clay, plant dyes, plant resins, seeds forrattles and decoration and other benefits. Indirect use benefits include pollination services,livestock grazing, recreation/aesthetic services(eco-tourism), religious functions and other benefits. Intermediate use services comprise carbonsequestration, water shed protection, protectionagainst soil erosion, habitat for wild fauna andflora (breeding and nursery functions), biodiversityreserve, oxygen production, acid rain deposition,roles in the water cycle, runoff reduction(cultivated) and other services

  • Water from a Transdisciplinary Perspective
    Ana Isabel Pereira Cardoso / Teresinha M. Gonçalves
    Life in cities has distanced human beings from nature and made it difficult to understand the ecology of life dependent on the environment. Urban water collection and distribution processes contribute significantly to the fragmentation of knowledge and the vital recognition of the water cycle. Without the effective participation of the subject in environmental actions, it is no...

  • Modeling Populations of Adaptive Individuals
    Bret C. Harvey / Steven F. Railsback
    Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of behavioral ecology cannot be use...

    Aaron Ellison / Aaron M. Ellison / Nicholas J. Gotelli
    A groundbreaking approach to scale and scaling in ecological theory and practiceScale is one of the most important concepts in ecology, yet researchers often find it difficult to find ecological systems that lend themselves to its study. Scaling in Ecology with a Model System synthesizes nearly three decades of research on the ecology of Sarracenia purpurea-the northern pitcher...

  • Physiological Ecology
    Carlos Martínez del Rio / William H. Karasov
    Unlocking the puzzle of how animals behave and how they interact with their environments is impossible without understanding the physiological processes that determine their use of food resources. But long overdue is a user-friendly introduction to the subject that systematically bridges the gap between physiology and ecology. Ecologists--for whom such knowledge can help clarif...
  • Critical Transitions in Nature and Society
    Marten Scheffer
    How do we explain the remarkably abrupt changes that sometimes occur in nature and society--and can we predict why and when they happen? This book offers a comprehensive introduction to critical transitions in complex systems--the radical changes that happen at tipping points when thresholds are passed. Marten Scheffer accessibly describes the dynamical systems theory behind cr...

  • Invasive Alien Plants Management Framework
    Cliff Dlamini
    In view of the fact that control and management of IAPS is a complex process that requires a scientific approach and wide stakeholder participation, the approach to the strategy development has to be through a desk study (review of local, national, regional and international documents) and multi-stakeholder consultations in meetings and face to face interviews. The ultimate aim...
