SUSTAINABLE FORESTRY
Sustainable forest management (SFM) is the management of forests according to the
principles of sustainable development. Sustainable forest management has to keep
the balance between three main pillars: ecological, economic and socio-cultural.

TREES HELP CONTROL RUNOFF
• Intercept rainfall• Increase infiltration• Hold soil in place• Filters contaminants
![Page 30: Forest Ecosystems - N.C. Department of Agriculture …FOREST ECOSYSTEMS FORESTRY IS AN IMPORTANT INDUSTRY IN NORTH CAROLINA • Second largest industry behind Agriculture • 18.6](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081323/5f0613537e708231d4162ab3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
TREES HELP REDUCE FLOODING
• Forests absorb and slowly release rainfall
• Helps to regulate year round water flow
![Page 31: Forest Ecosystems - N.C. Department of Agriculture …FOREST ECOSYSTEMS FORESTRY IS AN IMPORTANT INDUSTRY IN NORTH CAROLINA • Second largest industry behind Agriculture • 18.6](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081323/5f0613537e708231d4162ab3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
TREES HELP BUILD SOIL
• Cycle nutrients• Return stable
organic matter• Create macro-
pores
![Page 32: Forest Ecosystems - N.C. Department of Agriculture …FOREST ECOSYSTEMS FORESTRY IS AN IMPORTANT INDUSTRY IN NORTH CAROLINA • Second largest industry behind Agriculture • 18.6](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081323/5f0613537e708231d4162ab3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
TREES INFLUENCE LOCAL CLIMATE
• Moderate local temperatures and humidity• Moderate wind currents• Reduce heating and cooling costs when properly
placed
![Page 33: Forest Ecosystems - N.C. Department of Agriculture …FOREST ECOSYSTEMS FORESTRY IS AN IMPORTANT INDUSTRY IN NORTH CAROLINA • Second largest industry behind Agriculture • 18.6](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081323/5f0613537e708231d4162ab3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
TREES RECYCLE NUTRIENTS
• Forests take up approximately 90% of the CO2
removed from the atmosphere
• Trees store nutrients taken from the soil and then release them as they decompose
![Page 34: Forest Ecosystems - N.C. Department of Agriculture …FOREST ECOSYSTEMS FORESTRY IS AN IMPORTANT INDUSTRY IN NORTH CAROLINA • Second largest industry behind Agriculture • 18.6](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081323/5f0613537e708231d4162ab3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
TREES FILTER THE AIR
• Intercept particulate pollution• By reducing wind speeds they allow some pollutants
to settle out of the atmosphere
![Page 35: Forest Ecosystems - N.C. Department of Agriculture …FOREST ECOSYSTEMS FORESTRY IS AN IMPORTANT INDUSTRY IN NORTH CAROLINA • Second largest industry behind Agriculture • 18.6](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081323/5f0613537e708231d4162ab3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

TREES ABATE NOISE
• Studies have shown a 50% reduction in highway noise
• The sounds created by air movement in trees muffles noises
