Restoration of Boreal and Temperate Forests
CRC Press (Verlag)
978-0-367-86882-6 (ISBN)
This revised edition begins with a historical context for restoration, provides a conceptual framework for understanding the relationship between degradation and restoration, and defines terms within that framework. While building on the first edition, it presents the response of restorationists to the current challenges of interpreting scattered science on forest history, stand development, and natural processes. It combines applicable experience designed to improve present and future ecological and social sustainability.
Describes restoration in the context of rapid social, economic, environmental, and climate change
Looks toward the future, presenting several completely new topics in forest restoration
Covers different starting points for restoration, from non-forest to degraded forest
Restoration of Boreal and Temperate Forests, Second Edition
aids in the understanding of the diverse cultural and ecological contexts for restoration of temperate and boreal forests, and the creation of a better foundation of documented knowledge to support future and existing restoration decisions.
