The  concept of utilization is thus now being expanded to include vital  societal values. \u003cbr\u003e  These issues are nowhere more acute than in Central and Eastern  Europe, where obsolete, poorly maintained industrial plant is common.  Air pollutant levels are so high that one area has been called the  Black Triangle. Timber is required in this region as a building  material and logging for fuelwood is practised, giving rise to a  complex linkage between industry, energy supply, deforestation,  agriculture, value-added forestry products and economic development.  This book presents current information on national and regional issues  relating to environmental threats to forest land, focusing on:  ecology, environment and science; forest ownership and management;  forest product utilization; government and public agency roles. \u003cbr\u003e  The recommendations, action items and the human network needed for  regional-level implementation are detailed in `situation', `position'  and `state of the art' papers. The final objective is to develop a  plan of action to help abate the negative impacts while sustaining or  expanding the forests, the economy and the energy sufficiency of the  region.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 July 1997\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780792346340\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e462\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50803466240140,"sku":"9780792346340","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792346340.jpg?v=1781753187","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792346340","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
