| Resource Purpose |
"This State of Knowledge (SOK) report builds on a companion SOK report entitled “Hydrological principles for conservation of water resources within a changing forested landscape”, which presents a suite of hydrological principles that provide a foundation for the development of sustainable forest management strategies to conserve water resources.
With this report, our objective is to review the state of science resources (including data and tools) behind the sustainable management of forests from the perspective of conserving water resources and minimizing adverse effects resulting from forest management activities. We also provide a current synthesis of field studies and available datasets, as well as the scientific achievements and challenges facing the application of digital tools including digital terrain analysis, remote sensing and hydrological modelling. Finally, we provide recommendations for scientists, policy makers and resources managers with respect to future research and monitoring endeavours, analysis of integrated datasets and training of the next generation of forest hydrologists and forest managers to promote the practice of sustainable forest management." |
