South Africa?s forestry sector has sat - often controversially - at the crossroads of policy and scientific debates regarding water conservation, economic development, and biodiversity protection. Bennett and Kruger show how debates about the hydrological impact of exotic tree planting in South Africa shaped the development of modern scientific ideas and state policies relating to timber plantations, water conservation, invasive species control, and biodiversity management within South Africa as well as elsewhere in the world. Forestry and Water Conservation in South Africa shows how scientific research on the impact of exotic and native vegetation led to the development of a comprehensive national policy for conserving water, producing timber, and protecting indigenous species from invasive alien plants. Policies and laws relating to forests and water began to change in the late 1980s and early 1990s as a result of political and administrative changes within South Africa. This book suggests that the country?s contemporary policies towards timber plantations, guided by the National Water Act of 1998, need to be reconsidered in light of the authors? findings. Bennett and Kruger also call for more interdisciplinary research and greater emphasis on integrated policies and management plans for forestry, invasive alien plants, water conservation, and biodiversity preservation. 410 0$aWorld forest history series. 606 $aAfforestation$zSouth Africa 606 $aForests and forestry$zSouth Africa 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$zAfrica$xHistory 610 $awater conservation 610 $asouth africa 610 $abiodiversity protection 610 $aforestry 610 $aAfforestation 610 $aHydrology 610 $aJonkershoek Nature Reserve 610 $aLumber 615 0$aAfforestation 615 0$aForests and forestry 676 $a634.956 700 $aBennett$b Brett$0896099 702 $aKru?ger$b Fred 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910137394103321 996 $aForestry and water conservation in South Africa$92037111 997 $aUNINA
