  • Background Essays
    -Background Essays- Adapted from the on-line Teachers Guide http://mff.dsisd.net 1 2 FOUR ESSAYS THAT MAY CHANGE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT FORESTS, FORESTRY, and TREES Many times, reading and absorbing information about a topic is not enough to allow a full appreciation of the greater context. This is certainly true of forests and forestry. The following four essays well-illustrate the importance of natural resources; in particular forests and trees. An understanding of these essays will provide clarity to the other chapters of the Michigan Forests Forever Teachers Guide. They are well-written and thought-provoking. “Alternatives to Forest Harvest and Wood Use; The Environmental Page 2 Impacts Are Substantial” By Dr. Jim Bowyer, University of Minnesota, Dovetail Associates “Green Spirit – Trees Are the Answer” Page 10 By Dr. Patrick Moore, GreenSpirit and co-founder of Greenpeace www.GreenSpirit.com “Conquest of the Land Through Seven Thousand Years” Page 24 By William C. Lowdermilk, formerly Assistant Chief, USDA Soil Conservation Service “State and Private Forestry: Our History, Our Roots . at the Turning Page 56 Point-or Not?” By Don Smith, Connecticut State Forester, 2005 1 “Alternatives to Forest Harvest and Wood Use; The Environmental Impacts Are Substantial” By Dr. Jim Bowyer, University of Minnesota Proposals calling for a marked reduction in the harvest of wood from domestic forests are increasingly common. Such proposals are almost always based on concern for the environment, and are frequently promoted as part of what is described as a new ethical standard for forest management. Reasons often cited for restricting the domestic harvest of timber include negative impacts upon aesthetics, wilderness values, tourism, wildlife values, water quality, plant and animal diversity, and long-term sustainability of the timber harvesting enterprise.

  • Gum Resin Pinewoods of France, Spain and United States in the 19 Th and 20 Th Centuries
    Juan Luis Delgado. Industrialization and landscape: gum resin pinewoods of France, Spain and United States in the 19 th and 20 th centuries. Estudios Rurales, Vol 6, N° 11, ISSN 2250-4001, CEAR-UNQ, Buenos Aires, segundo semestre de 2016, pp., 48-69 Industrialization and landscape: gum resin pinewoods of France, Spain and United States in the 19 th and 20 th centuries Abstract Gum resin as natural resource has a long history. In regard to landscape transformation has been quite decisive in numerous pinewoods, however, it is barely known outside places of production and consumption. In the last two centuries the demand of its main by-products, spirit of turpentine and rosin, grew exponentially while chemical industries such as paint and varnish, paper, rubber, soap, etcetera, were increasing its production. Considering that was necessary to keep the forest standing in order to get the gum resin I am going to compare the situation of pinewoods in France, Spain and United States, to show the consequences in the landscape of this industrial activity in different contexts and backgrounds. The most important cause in pinewoods transformation into «organic machines» was forestry, and politics; nevertheless, its application depended upon regional and national trajectories. The case of gum resin pinewoods is a good example of how industrialization had to deal with nature to obtain organic chemical products, studying intensely the mechanisms of the forest and the pine with the economical and ecological idea that preserve them was the aim, and so, transforming them into a crop of pines with its socio-environmental consequences.

  • “And Into the Forest I Go, to Lose My Mind and Find My Soul” John Muir | a Word from Sonia
    #01 - April 2021 “And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul” John Muir | A word from Sonia, With eyes wide open to the world, WIDE OPEN awakens, surprises, questions and amazes us. And beyond contemplating new horizons, aims to open our senses and minds to the discovery and understanding of others, giving us the desire to dream, to share and to act. WIDE OPEN has three sections: Look, Explain and Respect. #Look: looks at trends, new ways of consuming, up and coming ingredients, unusual markets, new territories to explore. #Explain: explains technical issues, offers a formulator’s insight, and a curious sourcing. #Respect: covers environmental awareness, building a better world, societal and humanitarian concerns, and ecological commitments. WIDE OPEN regularly offers commentary, insights, and reflections in parallel to Naolys’ core activity: the creation of active beauty ingredients from plant cells. The theme for our first issue is trees. A Japanese proverb says, “even dead trees decorate a mountain”, reminding us that beauty exists everywhere. Happy reading, keep your eyes wide open! Sonia GUILLAUME LEGLISE, MARKETING & SALES 02 #Look 04 The hidden beauty of trees #Explain 06 Trees and people Contents #Respect 12 Plant a tree! #More 15 Further reading Symbols of power, longevity and resilience, trees protect both the body The and the mind. And while some question the scientific basis of “forest bathing”, a practice developed in the 1980s to combat anxiety in Japanese employees, “sylvotherapy” remains popular. hidden Some of the credit is due to Dr. Qing Li, a professor at Tokyo Medical University, who in his book “Shinrin Yoku, The Art and Science of Forest Bathing” claims to demonstrate that “forest beauty medicine” can strengthen the immune system, lower stress and blood pressure, and improve sleep and mood.

  • Bosc Yas Sofa Bosc Yas Sofa Bosc En Langue Gasconne in the Gascon Language, Signifie Forêt
    Bosc Yas Sofa Bosc Yas Sofa Bosc en langue Gasconne In the Gascon language, signifie forêt. Bosc se Bosc means Forest. Bosc situe à Hagetmau, à l’orée is located in Hagetmau de la plus grande forêt on the edge of the largest d'Europe de l'Ouest, forest in Western Europe, les Landes. Les Landes. 1 Forêt. Forest. Bosc. 2 3 Bosc Jusqu’au milieu du XIXe siècle, le département des Landes était une immense plaine marécageuse que ses habitants, des bergers en grande majorité, traversaient hissés sur des échasses. En 1857, la loi d’assainissement initiée par Napoléon III aboutit à la plantation massive de pins afin de nettoyer le sol et d’en arrêter son érosion. Ces arbres, également exploités pour leur résine et leur bois, occupent aujourd’hui une surface de plus d’un million d’hectares. D’autres essences cohabitent cependant avec le pin, parmi lesquelles plusieurs espèces de chêne. La forêt des Landes est aujourd‘hui le plus grand massif forestier cultivé d’Europe. Until the mid-19th century, the county of Les Landes was a huge marshy plain which the inhabitants, mostly shepherds, crossed on stilts. In 1857, the Land Reclamation act, instigated by Napoleon III, led to the mass planting of pine trees in order to drain the land and stop it from eroding. Nowadays, these trees cover more than a million hectares and are used for both their resin and wood. However, other varieties are also found alongside the pine, including several species of oak. Today, the Landes forest is Europe's largest cultivated area of trees.

Mean wind velocity profiles were measured by means of radio-windsondes over the Landes region in southwestern France, which consists primarily of pine forests with scattered villages and clearings with various crops. Analysis of neutral profiles indicated the existence of a logarithmic layer between approximately .z - 4 = 67(*18)z, and 128(*32)z, (z is the height above the ground, z0 the surface roughness and do the displacement height). The upper limit can also be given as z - do = 0.33 (kO.l8)h, where h is the height of the bottom of the inversion. The profiles showed that the surface roughness of this terrain is around 1.2 m and the displacement height 6.0 m. Shear stresses derived from the profiles were in good agreement with those obtained just above the forest canopy at a nearby location with the eddy correlation method by a team from the Institute of Hydrology (Wallingford, England). 1. Introduction The hydrodynamic nature of land surfaces covered with vegetation is commonly characterized by the roughness length zo, and by the (zero-plane) displacement height do. These two parameters arise in the logarithmic wind-profile equation, which is usually written as (1) where V is the mean wind speed, u* = (~~/p) I’* the friction velocity, 7.
