Forest Wisdom Issue 15
Forest Wisdom #15 is focused on "ecosystem services", in other words the combined benefits people obtain from the natural world. These vital services include supporting functions such as nutrient cycling or soil formation; products such as fresh water and fuel; regulating services such as flood or climate regulation; and cultural resources such as recreational, educational, or aesthetic opportunities. Forest Wisdom 15 includes articles that address the value of forested watersheds, payments for forest carbon, shitake mushrooms as a non-timber forest product, and an assessment of the value of the ecosystem services provided by New Mexico's forests.
