Restoration of Boreal and Temperate Forests
Restoration of Boreal and Temperate Forests
Description
Humans have influenced the landscapes and forests throughout the temperate and boreal zones for millennia. Restoration of Boreal and Temperate Forests, Second Edition focuses on the negative impact of human activity, and explains the importance of forest restoration as a way to repair habitat, restore forest structure and function, and counteract the lasting effects of humanity. The book offers broad geographic coverage, as well as a combination of review and case study chapters providing social and policy contexts for restoration of specific forest types.
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
