Forest resource

Similar pheromone blends are produced by other species of bark beedes and these complex aggregation pheromones have been used extensively in mass trapping programs, capturing millions of bark beeties and preventing them from further attacking valuable forest resources. 

Pressures on forest resources and competing uses of fresh wood have resulted in greater recovery of sawlogs from trees that are formerly considered a fiber resource. On the west coast of North America, the larger trees are primarily used for lumber and plywood, leaving only the residues for pulp chips. In order to minimize butt damage, many operations use sawheads rather than shears on the feUer-bunchers.

Charcoal is used in electrically heated furnaces to smelt specialty metals such as ferrosilicon. It is a preferred household fuel in developing countries with adequate forest resources. In the United States 95 percent of charcoal use is for barbecuing, while in Japan and Europe charcoal use is split evenly between cooking and industrial needs. 

Through time, human civilizations have repeatedly made the same critical error the excessive exploitation of forest resources or the failure to practice forestry on a sustainable basis. The earliest recorded cases of excessive deforestation occurred approximately 5,000 B.P. in the very cradle of western civilization, Mesopotamia 19), Since that period, abusive levels of forest exploitation have severely degraded or caused the complete disappearance of forests in regions of Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and the Americas. Truly, the negative consequences of excessive levels of deforestation is a lesson that has been learned by few civilizations.

There is growing interest in the use of cereal straws such as wheat straw for animal feed after increasing its digestibility by various methods, or as a raw material for paper and board production. This is particularly important in areas with limited forest resources (1). For all these purposes a good physicochemical characterisation of cereal straw is necessary.

The use of forest resources as a feedstock for industrial uses is long established and is, in a sense, superior to the use of agricultural crops, since the supply can be guaranteed well into the future and can be obtained throughout the year, unlike seasonal crops. Although this book is concerned with one small aspect of timber utilization, it should be noted that forest resources can also be used to provide feedstocks for many industrial products, including chemicals. 

Globally, it is estimated that there is 3870 million ha of forests (30 % of the Earth s land area), of which 95 % is natural or semi-natural (Table 1.1). At the present time, in most developed countries, the forest area is increasing and this is likely to continue given the present rates of harvesting. However, in tropical parts of the world, the forest area continues to decline, giving rise to serious concerns. It is estimated that between 1990 and 2000, there was a loss of 9.4 million ha per annum of forest worldwide (an annual deforestation rate of 14.6 million ha and an increase in forest area of 5.2 million ha per year Table 1.2). The only way to reverse this trend is to place sufficient economic value on forest resources, with incentives to encourage sustainable forest management. 

If the forest resource is properly managed, then timber can be harvested indefinitely. The use of timber in products represents a means by which atmospheric carbon can be stored in materials pools. 

These other forest resources - unutilized trees from intensive forest management and the residue today left in the forest - could, if pressed to their maximum availability, contribute around 1 EJ to the energy supply. To do this will, however, require extensive end use product markets since the end use requirement of heat production in the forest industry will already be essentially satisfied by the industries own residue. The conversion problem is therefore the transformation of biomass to energy intermediates such as electricity for transmission elsewhere, automobile fuels such as the much discussed methanol option, or into energy intensive tonnage chemicals such as ammonia and ethylene.

The Forest Peoples Fund (FPF) was established to ensure that tribal communities would benefit immediately from the access granted to their forest resources. The FPF was established in 1994 with a 50,000 contribution from BMS, followed by another 10,000 donation in 1996. 

The thermal-analysis methods were also used to determine, not only the heat of combustion, but also the rate of heat release and the seasonal variation of combustibility, matters of practical significance for the protection and conservation of forest resources.

Chemicals have been an important means of controlling forest insect pests in Canada for the past four decades. They have been used to limit the impact of some of the most destructive forest pests, such as spruce budworms (Chovistoneuva spp.), on forest resources essential to the production of fibre and other forestry products. With growing demand for these products, pest control... 

Softwoods are the predominant species of tree in Canada. In British Columbia, an estimated 2.2 million t of surplus wood residues are generated each year (5), which until now have been of limited use as a commercial product. Bioconversion of these residues into biofuel ethanol and valuable chemicals provides an attractive opportunity for the sustainable development of both renewable energy and Canada s forest resources.

Since plants cycle CO2 out of the atmosphere, several countries including Canada have argued that countries with large forest resources should be able to claim them as "carbon sinks." Rather than cutting their C02 emissions by the target amount, Canada and other countries maintain that they should be allowed to claim a reduction for the CO2 absorbed by their large forests.
