The Original Official Site of the St. Lucia Tourist Board Natural Attractions of St. Lucia S t. Lucia possesses a topography and ecology of stunning beauty, matched by no other location in the Caribbean. The island's pride in its natural resources is evident in the country's ongoing protection and conservation efforts. In the mountainous interior lies the enormous National Rain Forest, and the island's protected coastal sights include the breathtaking, unforgettable spires of Les Pitons. All sorts of nature hikes, tours, and programs have been developed to showcase these peerless assets, allowing visitors to enjoy the island without harming its complex and fragile environment. St. Lucia's environmental philosophy also extends beyond its shoreline to the protection of its beautiful coral reefs, with their rich and diverse tropical sea life. The government has created four preservation areas, encompassing all of the island's outstanding reefs. Watersports enthusiasts, divers, and boat owners are required to purchase a permit before entering the reserve, and the fees are used for repairs to the reef and preserving threatened marine species. The Pitons Located near Soufriere, these primeval twin peaks, topping 2,000 feet, are St. Lucia's most famous landmark. Only the most daring climbers have ventured an ascent to their summits, but they can be seen in all their glory from Mt. Gimie or from the decks of a boat offshore.

SECOND CIRCULAR AND DRAFT CONFERENCE PROGRAMME Ecology and Management of Tropical Secondary Forests: Science, People and Policy Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Centre (CATIE), Turrialba, Costa Rica, November 10-12, 1997 Sponsored by IUFRO 1.07, 8.01.04 and SPDC. Organized by CATIE in association with CIFOR. Since this meeting was announced, we have worked hard on the development of a mailing list, communication and coordination with interested persons, and on the ever-present task of fund-raising. As a some of you are aware, this latter task is still in progress, but the degree of interest which the meeting has aroused among potential sources of funds is so strong that we have confidence that all our needs will be met. As you will see below, a programme is taking shape and it looks very exciting. We beg those of you whose names are not on the programme to take into account that the programme IS NOT FINAL and that THERE IS STILL TIME TO CONFIRM YOUR WISH TO PARTICIPATE. We urge all of you to complete or confirm the information we requested in the first circular: Second, we request all those who have not done so, to send us an abstract of their presentation as soon as possible. We wish to circulate the abstracts of all the papers to each of you by e-mail before the conference, so the sooner we’ve got them, the better. If anybody wishes to send an updated version of an abstract we already have, they are quite welcome to do so.

Conference Report Ecology and Management of Tropical Secondary Forests: Science, People and Policy CATIE , Turrialba, Costa Rica, 10-12 November 1997. Sponsored by IUFRO 1.07 and SPDC. Organized by CATIE in association with CIFOR . Report by Bryan Finegan , Head of Conference Organizing Committee The meeting was proposed in order to examine secondary forests developing on agricultural land, either as a fallow period within an ongoing farm management process, or following abandonment of the land. Logged primary forests, although sometimes referred to as secondary forests, were excluded because they are quite distinct both ecologically and in terms of the socioeconomic forces which affect their management. Secondary forests thus defined are an increasingly important component of the forest resources of the tropics. They fix and store carbon and may contribute to the alleviation of global warming, they are refuges for biodiversity in agricultural landscapes, and they are low-cost sources of a tremendous variety of forest products. New perspectives on secondary succession in tropical forest ecosystems (ecology) , The interface between ecology and management: towards sustainability (management and its ecological basis) and The human dimension: creation and use of secondary forests , and a total of 23 oral papers was presented.

Click on images for enlargement. Fire Adapted Forests and Fire Ecology A lodgepole pine forest is naturally adapted to fires. The pines' serotinous cones have a waxy coating which opens in response to the heat of the blaze, scattering seeds onto soil newly fertilized by nutrients in the ash. Some 85% of Yellowstone Park's forests are lodgepole pine. After the dramatic fires of 1988, this forest began the process of renewal built into it, a process which had been going on for thousands of years before man arrived. The importance of fire to natural systems is an obvious one often overlooked by modern man. Fire, initiated by lightning, rock slides etc. was a part of forests, grasslands, and other habitats long before man came along to care. In fact man probably used fire early on as a tool to drive game, provide warmth, and drive away predatory animals. But as humans proliferated and moved into the forests of Europe and Asia, they began to see fire as a threat, and as a force of nature to be controlled and often eliminated, along with various predators and other animals such as brown bears, wolves, beavers and anything else that man found disturbing, threatening, or tasty. The result is a Europe which has generally sterile, low diversity forests intensively managed by man. When European man came to the New World he brought his prejudices and practices with him and began to clear the forests, suppress fire, and eliminate predators. The first school of forestry in the U.S., the Biltmore School, was established at Mt. Pisgah, North Carolina in 1898. Commodore Vanderbilt hired a German forester to handle his extensive land holdings using the principles of European forestry. Based on this European model, forests were cut, fires were suppressed, and a second growth forest produced which satisfies the need for intensive use and occupation by man, but bears little resemblance to the original frontier forest encountered by the first settlers. Less than one percent of that original forest remains, and much of that is threatened by pollution and acid rain.

November 1997 Issue 7 Review: Fire Ecology of Pacific Northwest Forests. By James K. Agee Reviewed by James K. Peek Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, University of Idaho Agee, James K. Fire Ecology of Pacific Northwest Forests. Washington, D.C.: Island Press, 1993. 490 pp. US $50.00 cloth ISBN: 1-55963-229-1. Fire has been a major component of the forests of much of North America, including the Pacific Northwest, over the millennia. Agee has produced a well-written, comprehensive account of the ecology and management of fire in the northwestern United States, which emphasizes its importance and inevitability. Although the fire regimes in Sitka spruce, hemlock and redwood forests are much longer than in the pine forests of the interior, fire still should be expected. Agee points out that disturbance is inevitable in these forests, and returns to this theme repeatedly. While we are now better able to predict fire behavior, the effects are less predictable. This book requires knowledge of plant succession, which is aided by the glossary. Agee's definition of fire regimes using vegetative characteristics is used throughout the book. There is a good discussion of weather patterns and their influence on fire regimes and vegetation. Fire behavior models are described and an example of the use of these models is provided, although this is not a how-to-burn manual. The discussion of the history of fire management is primarily confined to Washington and Oregon. It is of interest that in recent times no use of prescribed fire has occurred in the Blue Mountains, but just across the border in Idaho, fire is commonly used in forestry. Agee concludes that fire use must be tailored to specific areas and for specific purposes, something those who plan for broad regions in the continent should take note of.

These forests are further characterized by specific features, which distinguish them from other "mature" and "over-mature" forests: ž Natural patterns of age-distribution (ie: uneven-aged canopy and unsynchronized stands and trees growth and development) which are fundamental to sustained ecosystem function; ž High levels structural and microclimate diversity, which are fundamental to maintaining a high level of natural biodiversity; ž Continued balance of all main indicators of forest ecosystem function (including absorption and release of carbon dioxide, growth rate and turnover of tree biomass, appearance and decomposition of dead wood etc.) What is so important about the ancient forests.

From an ecological perspective, the definition of a forest includes all these things, from the trees to the bacteria, and the soil type to the microclimates. See the " Tree Basics " page for more about the definition of a forest. Forest management systems are rooted in forest ecology (pun intended!). There are three groups of concepts with forest ecology, or the ecology of just about any natural system. Each of the three groups of concepts interact with other to variable degrees, at variable times, and in variable ways. Composition : These are the pieces of the puzzle. Structure : This is how the pieces are arranged. Function : This is what each piece does and the interactions among the pieces. Ideas on this page: Diversity Populations Communities Forest Layering Crown Cover Edge Effect Fragmentation Parcelization Snags Microenvironment Visual Quality Aesthetics Food Chains Nutrient Cycles Organic Matter Trophic Levels Weathering Hydrologic Cycle Temperature Humidity Succession Disturbance Composition Composition has to do with species, taxonomy, and biological diversity. The number of species and how they relate to each other according to taxonomic classes is a reasonably straight-forward concept.

By using ecological, geological, and paleobotanical techniques, I seek to understand the distribution and abundance of tree species, and particularly the composition and dynamics of tropical tree communities. This approach combines rigorous experimental design and analysis with an understanding of the natural history of both the forest ecosystem and the component species in order to test the causes of patterns found in nature. My research is very field oriented. Current research projects include: the role of life history in the structure and diversity of tropical tree communities in Manu National Park, Peru, a paleoecological investigation into the composition and stability of tropical tree communities over time, and, closer to home, a long-term project on sex-switching and population dynamics in striped maple ( Acer pensylvanicum L .) at Mountain Lake Biological Station, Virginia.
