Abstract

This document reviews the management and use of forests, grasslands, and croplands as our nation developed. It also addresses wildlife, recreation resources, minerals, and water resources. It provides a systematic account of the changing status of our natural renewable resources and minerals and their current status, and concludes with an outlook for the future. The focus is on land management and use, but policy, population, and technology as well as resource sensitivity, resilience, and productivity are other important dimensions of this review. The intent it to present an understanding of the whole development of our resources while describing the parts - the individual resources - in relation to each other and the whole.
