Excerpt from A Report on the Influence of Forests on Climate and on Floods, 1910
There should be neither wasteful use of resources nor that greatest waste of all total disuse of them, but that economical use which in the end will have yielded the greatest good to the greatest number.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the long-held belief that the loss of forests leads to drought and flooding. The author, a leading meteorologist, argues that deforestation has little to no effect on the amount of rainfall but can affect the way water is absorbed and released by the ground. The author further argues that erosion, and sanding can have appreciable effects upon local climates in proportion to the magnitude of the areas affected, but this does not mean that there is any great difference in the climatic effect between a forest covering and one of bushes, of grass, or of farming crops. This book provides an excellent summary of the current state of scientific knowledge on the relationship between forests and climate, and it challenges some of the most cherished beliefs of environmentalists.
