The administrative structure to carry out this role was similarly uncomplicated, with most programs under the aegis of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In recent years, however, both the management and administrative landscapes have changed dramatically. Responsibility for the federal role in nonfederal forests has been expanded to include a number of cabinet departments and independent agencies, which must address critical issues such as reforestation, wetlands disruption, and biodiversity protection. With two-thirds of all U.S. forests on nonfederal lands, these issues are becoming increasingly more important. Now, a first-of-its-kind examination of the federal role in nonfederal forest management, Forested Landscapes in Perspective presents a comprehensive look at the current landscape and recommends improvements that best serve public and private interests. This timely volume includes an insightful description of the current situation and recent trends, followed by a thorough examination of major policy and program issues affecting nonfederal forests. Among these are emerging environmental concerns such as forest fragmentation and large-scale climate change, as well as issues of economic importance, such as the availability of timber supplies. 606 $aForest policy$zUnited States 606 $aForests and forestry$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aForest management$zUnited States 606 $aSustainable forestry$zUnited States 606 $aInvestments, American$zUnited States 615 0$aForest policy 615 0$aForests and forestry$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aForest management 615 0$aSustainable forestry 615 0$aInvestments, American 676 $a333.75/0973 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Prospects and Opportunities for Sustainable Management of America's Nonfederal Forests. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974008203321 996 $aForested landscapes in perspective$94362838 997 $aUNINA
