| Data from Mali are analysed and used to suggest that there may be a need for a radical reassessment of the fuelwood crisis hypothesis in the Sahel and northern Sudan. Analyses are made of: the methods used to project fuelwood deficits in rural areas; calculations of fuelwood supplies in areas of low biomass productivity; the implications of using dung and agricultural residues as fuel; and urban fuelwood consumption and projected urban demands. The results suggest that conventional ‘energy gap’ analyses seriously underestimate the availability of domestic fuel resources in rural areas; they also suggest that most studies tend to overestimate future urban demands and underestimate potential fuelwood supply. The result of these factors is that rapidly escalating supply crises appear imminent. | |

| Between 1983 and 1987, a survey was carried out in West Bengal to determine the present position of the supply, demand and consumption pattern of wood and wood products for planning (regreening) purposes. Stratified random sampling was employed for the entire population and the results were derived from 18 758 respondents in both family and institutions falling at random in 752 sample villages and 696 urban census blocks out of about 38 000 rural villages and 15 000 urban blocks. Against a recorded fuelwood production of 0.7 million m3, the estimated annual consumption was 16.85 million m3 (about 24 × supply). Amongst the traditional renewable resources, fuelwood was the most widely used in rural areas (about 93.2) where of all the non-commercial energy consumed, in terms of million tonnes of coal replacement (MTCR), fuelwood provided 77.1, compared with 14.97 of agricultural wastes, 7.48 of dung-cake and 0.45 of biogas. In the total energy consumption of the state (commercial and non-commercial), fuelwood also provided a significant 42; some 16.85 million m3 was consumed annually, with family, institutional and cremational sectors constituting 94.10, 5.19 and 0.71 respectively. In rural areas 65 of fuelwood was collected and 35 purchased, while in urban areas the respective values were 25 and 75. Annual av. per capita consumption was about 0.288 m3, varying from 0.368 m3 in rural areas to 0.072 m3 in urban areas. The proximity of forest was positively related to the per capita fuelwood consumption pattern, which was highest in Darjeeling district (1.10 m3) and lowest in Calcutta (0.017 m3). The monthly income of a family and the per capita consumption of fuelwood were negatively related in both urban and rural sectors. There was also a negative correlation between monthly income and expenditure on fuel irrespective of urban or rural locations. | |

| Using Landsat data of 8 Sep. 1973 and 8 May 1981, urban expansion of Lubumbashi, Zaire, and deforestation around the town were mapped. The growth of the built-up area is best shown by the index of vegetation in the rainy season, while the deforestation limit can be identified using false-colour images. Deforestation is rapid because of charcoal consumption by an urban population increasing by 6.5 per yr, and the use of firewood by local industries. The deforested area around Lubumbashi increased from 230 km2 in 1973 to 1630 km2 in 1981. | |

| The role of man and domestic animals in the destruction of forests in the district is discussed. Because of rapidly expanding agriculture (and urbanization) the forest area decreased from 19 857 ha in 1951 to 8310 ha in 1961, but increased again to 11 366 ha in 1979–80 after significant rehabilitation steps had been taken by the Punjab state Forest Department. Over the last 50 yr however the total decline has been very large. Suggestions are made for increasing the forest area through social forestry practices suitable to its agro-climatic and edaphic conditions. Specific practices discussed include farm forestry (farm woodlands, shelterbelts etc.), extension forestry (along railway lines, canals, roads, on abandoned agricultural land etc.), reforestation of degraded forests, recreation forestry and urban forestry. Appropriate species are recommended for each. Extensive list of tree species used in Indian plantings is presented. Species are identified which have specific effects on air quality and aesthetics. | |

| The study investigates factors affecting the level of household firewood energy consumption in Sierra Leone. The specific objectives are: (1) to explain the demand for and consumption of firewood under rural and urban conditions in relation to non-wood energy sources; (2) to investigate the rural and urban firewood marketing structure and describe its role for the future development of firewood demand; (3) to describe the role of firewood production in relation to agricultural productivity; and (4) to identify household technologies used in the generation of energy from firewood. Sierra Leone is likely to face a problem of firewood depletion caused by the large number of households which depend upon it to meet their daily energy needs. This problem will be aggravated by the current lack of knowledge about the composition of household aggregate energy consumption throughout the country. Since there are no national energy accounts or empirical energy research, energy policy decisions are based on inadequate information. The study offers an information base for future estimates of rural and urban energy consumption in Sierra Leone. | |

| 457 | Vimal, O.P.; Tyagi, P.D. 1987. Fuelwood from wastelands. xii + 276pp.; 1062 ref., OQEH. New Delhi, India; Yatan Publishers. |
| For rural people as well as for the urban poor, wood is the dominating domestic fuel in India. Large numbers of potential species are known which could be used for plantations but only a few such as Eucalyptus, Leucaena, Acacia and Casuarina are commonly grown. Other species are not well researched for ready transference to field trials and development of woodlots. Data are needed on their rates of production per year with reference to age and time. The whole question of the development of plantations is governed by the diversity of agroclimatic conditions, namely soil types, rainfall, etc. The problems are, therefore, location specific. The cost of implementation would, accordingly, vary from place to place and fuelwood production from species to species. The book examines the suitability of species in terms of whether they: are appropriate to specific difficult lands; contain sapwood or hardwood; are multipurpose to meet a variety of needs - fuel, feed, food, fruits, fibre, erosion control and soil improvement, medicines and industrial chemicals, gums, pulp and timber; could be exploited for carbonization. The work supplements the information contained in an earlier publication by the same authors Energy from biomass (1984) by giving a detailed account of each species. | |

| A discussion of the problem of deforestation in developing countries, with particular reference to Malawi. It is noted that indigenous trees are regarded as a free source of fuelwood or charcoal, so that people have little reason to seek substitute forms of energy supply even if these are available. As well as permanently destroying indigenous woodland, deforestation has other serious repercussions such as lowering soil fertility (and food production) and adversely affecting a country's economy. Steps so far suggested for counteracting deforestation are discussed and include the establishment of government plantations, planting by farmers, improving the efficiency of wood use, using alternative sources of energy (to which there is great opposition) and raising the price of wood (which is practically impossible to implement). None of these measures can reverse deforestation and it is suggested that the only practical approach once this is acknowledged is to try and minimize damage. Ways of doing this include planting tree species which protect the soil, encouraging the kinds of tree planting that farmers want (trees for fruit, poles and shade rather than for self sufficiency in firewood), encouraging planting on tree planting days, and establishing government plantings (for sale) in urban areas. Comments by other conference participants are included. | |

| It is suggested that in the management of firebreaks in an urban environment, the use of herbicides for control of bush and tree spp. should form part of an integrated pest management strategy including prescribed burning, mechanical and hand cutting and livestock grazing (goats). To control highly flammable spp. such as Eucalyptus spp., Baccharis consanguinea [B. pilularis] and Cytisus monspessulanus, cultural techniques were only partly effective. An overall spray of 1 glyphosate gave 100 control of B. pilularis and C. monspessulanus, with 2 being required for Eucalyptus spp. resprouts; best results were obtained when the resprouts were 4 ft high. For control of Eucalyptus spp. stumps it was essential to spray within 2 minutes of felling (with 25–50 glyphosate) to achieve 95–100 control. | |

| The report presents the results of research carried out in 1983 on aspects of the trade in firewood between urban Gaborone and rural Kweneng in order to understand trends in firewood demand and supply. Trade between Kweneng district and Gaborone is seen as a major factor contributing towards the deflection of this energy source in the district. The research project studies the nature and character as well as the socioeconomic costs and benefits of this trade. The study aims to determine the socioeconomic status of firewood traders, methods of harvesting and transporting firewood to the market, the impact of the firewood trade on income and employment generation and the environment. | |

| Ten-month-old seedlings of 5 species (Casuarina equisetifolia, Spathodea campanulata, Lagerstroemia speciosa, Calophyllum inophyllum and Terminalia catappa) were planted in 12-inch diam. containers and placed at 3 locations in Bangkok: forest nursery (control), and outer and central zones (polluted areas). Ht. growth was measured every 4 months in 1974–76, and damage symptoms noted. Except for C. inophyllum, ht. increment rates were much less in the polluted areas. Casuarina equisetifolia had a much greater growth rate than the others at all locations, and with Calophyllum inophyllum is recommended for planting in polluted areas. | |

| The planning is discussed of a green belt to be planted around a petrochemical complex to be set up at Salempur, in the Aligarh district. The belt is to be developed by the Uttar Pradesh Forest Department in consultation with the Forest Research Institute, Dehra Dun. The plan considered both constraints imposed by the locality (e.g. alkaline soil, semi-arid climate and waterlogging) and the effects of the petrochemical complex (e.g. gas and waste water discharge). A table is given of suitable trees, shrubs and grasses. Factors influencing the choice of tree species included the need for broadleaves with a rough surface and many stomata, and the ability to shed leaves, these characteristics making the tree suitable for pollution control and dust particle trapping. Tree species were also chosen to provide products such as fuelwood and fodder, as well as for ornamental purposes. Planting techniques (such as the use of raised mounds or embankments in waterlogged areas and soil amendments to counteract salinity) and maintenance are briefly discussed. Some of the planting has already started. | |

| Causes of poor soil aeration in urban areas include waterlogging due to poor drainage and high rainfall, leaking gas mains (the gas displaces the air and causes a build up of oxygen-consuming micro-organisms), asphalt or concrete coverings and paving, soil compaction by pedestrians and vehicles, and the presence of landfill gases. Soil aeration is also reduced by building up the soil level around trees. A simple method is described for measuring soil aeration using a drill and sampling probe. Ways of minimizing the effects of poor aeration include reducing the use of asphalt and concrete, perhaps by surrounding paving slabs with a porous filling such as sand or gravel, and using metal or concrete grates raised above the soil surface. Some designs are reproduced from the Parks and recreation Division of the Singapore Ministry of National Development. However, probably the least expensive and most successful method of combatting poor soil aeration is to use tree species tolerant to such conditions. A list of 35 such species is given on the basis of an experiment in which 40 native species commonly used in street plantings were grown under waterlogged conditions in 10-litre buckets. | |

| An investigation of the causes of yellowing and death in landscape trees planted around Islamabad. Plantations 6 and 16 yr old respectively 11 and 18 km along the Islamabad-Lahore highway were treated from May 1974 by irrigating with water (in May and June), spraying with 0.5 dieldrin (in June, July and Aug. - as a control against the bark borer Agrilus dalbergiae which attacks unhealthy trees) and fertilizing with N and/or P. Data on mortality and growth collected in 1977 and 1978 indicated that fertilizing improved the growth and resistance to disease of 16-yr-old trees, but that no treatment improved the growth or health of the younger trees. | |

| 485 | Club du Sahel. 1983. Fuelwood: the main source of energy in the Sahel and fuelwood research needs: a note. Note. i + 26pp.; 6 tab., 1 fig., BIDS. Paris, France; OECD. |
| The Sahelian countries' energy needs are met principally by fuelwood, any other energy source being beyond the financial means of the populations. This paper contains all the basic information on the production, distribution and marketing of fuelwood but there is still a lack of precise information on supply and demand. Regarding production, the massive plantation schemes which would have to be undertaken up to the year 2000 are not feasible. The present population of 30 million people will be 50 million by the year 2000. Fuel needs are also increasing because of technological progress and rapid urbanization. The document gives the available information on the collection, transportation and marketing of fuelwood in the Sahelian countries' capital towns; it is a complex and important economic activity. The price of the wood does not, in fact, equal the value of a tree in the Sahel; this value is much higher. The demand for wood for all other purposes is also an important factor. Some information is given on transporter's profit margins and possible revenue gains for the governments through taxation. Since the potential demand could never be satisfied through intensive planting, consumption will have to be reduced, the use of charcoal discouraged as energy-wasting, and alternative sources of energy developed. More efficient cooking stoves will, for instance, help reduce consumption. Large scale reafforestation and programmes for the management of natural forest resources must be maintained; fortunately the funding situation for forestry/ecology type projects is hopeful. Since conventional forms of alternative energy (electricity, gas, oil, kerosene, etc.) are too expensive, new forms such as solar and wind power must be developed. Some research themes covering all aspects of forestry and the fuelwood economy are proposed. | |

Stockholm, Sweden; Beijer Institute, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences; Uppsala, Sweden; Scandinavian Institute of African Studies. |
| The book summarizes the findings of the Kenyan Fuelwood Project. The detailed background analytical data will be published in a later series of technical volumes. The conclusions, which mark a significant shift from the accepted wisdom of energy planning, suggest that: (a) if terms of trade between developed and developing countries continue to stagnate there will be little capital available to increase the proportion of commercial energy in the national energy budget. Consequently, biomass utilization will increase in absolute and, in some cases, relative terms; (b) since fuelwood is the most important biomass energy source, increasing pressure will be placed on it by a rising population, with consequent increased cutting of standing stocks of wood because annual yields are insufficient to support demand; (c) given the accelerated urban demand for charcoal as a result of rapid urbanization, accelerating wood removal will occur as charcoal making often causes the complete destruction of whole trees. Consequently, attention should be given to the provision of fuelwood belts around urban areas; (d) if rural biomass consumption is largely based on trees outside the forest and rarely involves the destruction of whole trees, the more densely populated high-potential regions will experience greatest pressures. Programmes will be needed that provide biomass energy from within farms; (e) there appear to be many problems associated with the countrywide diffusion of new stoves, and so there are structural constraints that inhibit fuelwood conservation. Stove diffusion efforts will need to concentrate on the proven market for urban stoves; (f) given the lack of capital for technology and the problems of technology transfer, conservation efforts in the commercial fuel sector will have a slow impact. Careful analysis of future fuel-technology combinations is necessary if national enterprises wish to remain viable. | |

| Rapid urbanization in Zambia is confined to a few areas, where over dependence by the urban population on fuelwood is causing severe deforestation in the rural hinterlands. Good forest management, improved charcoal production methods, afforestation and resort to alternative household energy sources can salvage indigenous woodlands from rapid disappearance. But there are problems - financial, cultural, and institutional - which must be overcome before any meaningful progress can be realized in curbing the rate of deforestation in central Zambia. | |

| The report presents the results of three surveys carried out in 1980 in Guatemala to determine: (1) the importance of fuelwood to households and small industries, including bakeries, lime kilns, brick kilns, and tortilla makers, especially in urban areas; (2) changes in the use of fuelwood during the last 5 years; and (3) the reasons for those changes. In fuelwood supply areas, the process of commercialization was also studied. Of those households and small industries surveyed, it was found that 55 and 79, respectively, used wood as their main fuel. In the last 5 years, 14 of households versus 3 of small industries switched from fuelwood to other fuels. When electricity was available, dependence on fuelwood dropped from 87 and 92 for households and small industries to 53 and 77, respectively. | |

| 492 | Uhart, E. 1982. Charcoal in the Sahelian zone. Report. 13 pp. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; United Nations Economic Commission for Africa. |
| In the Sahel, charcoal consumption is confined to the urban population with an average or above average income. Total consumption is about 220 000 tonnes. Use of fuelwood in charcoal manufacture contributes to the destruction of vegetation and consequently to desert encroachment. The following measures are suggested: increasing forest plantations for fuelwood (eg. with fast-growing species such as Eucalyptus and with fire-resistant species); protecting natural stands against fire, land clearance and grazing in order to increase yields; using modern charcoal kilns, which produce twice as much charcoal as traditional methods; and the importation of charcoal or other fuels from neighbouring countries. | |

| Indicative data are given, in terms of energy requirements and necessary acreages, for the use of wood as fuel for: cooking and space heating in rural communities; the same in urban communities; industrial thermal energy (directly, via charcoal and via producer gas); and mechanical energy in rural and urban areas (a mass-produced engine system fuelled by producer gas is being developed at the authors' institute). The need to develop wood-based fuels to minimize dependence on imported fossil fuels is stressed. | |
