Compatibility Between Wood Production and Other Values and Uses on Forested Lands : A Problem Analysis

This problem analysis examines the state of knowledge regarding compatibility between wood production (WP) & other values & to develop a framework for directing a Wood Compatibility Initiative that examines the central question: Can we as a society produce wood commodities & other forest values in an environmentally acceptable & sustainable manner? Forest policy issues are often framed as jobs vs. the environment.Ó The debate ignores the possibility that opportunities exist for compatible changes that can provide more of both. The challenge is to determine if, & at what level, timber harvest & other forest services & products can complement one another. Compatibility is seen as the degree to which we can manage for WP without impairing other values.Peterson, Charles E. is the author of 'Compatibility Between Wood Production and Other Values and Uses on Forested Lands : A Problem Analysis', published 2003 under ISBN 9780756737627 and ISBN 0756737621.
