PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FOREST 
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT ARE AVAILABLE

A two volume proceedings containing papers and abstracts from the 
International Conference on Forest Vegetation Management meeting are 
available from the Canadian Journal of Forest Research and Auburn 
University.  These proceedings provide a forum on recent advances in the 
ecology, practice, and policy of forest vegetation management throughout 
the world.  Research, operational techniques, and management issues 
applicable to commercial and noncommercial forests are addressed.  Three 
broad facets of forest vegetation management are emphasized:  (i) 
ecological research of forest vegetation interactions, including mechanisms 
involved in interspecific interferences, plant- and animal-community 
dynamics, and forest ecosystem effects of vegetation management 
practices; (ii) state of the art practices, including current technology 
systems, and equipment; alternatives to traditional practices; effects of 
practices on site resources; and the impact of costs on decision making; 
(iii) contemporary and projected policy and social issues.

The 200 delegates attending the Conference at Auburn University, Alabama 
USA represented 20 developed and developing nations from 6 contininents. 
Papers in the proceedings include topics on temperate and tropical forests 
and forests of the northern and southern hemispheres.
