| Description: |
Ecology of a Managed Terrestrial Landscape responds to the increasing need of forest policy developers, planners, and managers for an integrated, comprehensive perspective on ecological landscapes. |
| Synopsis: |
The growing popularity of the broad, landscape-scale approach toforest management represents a dramatic shift from the traditional,stand-based focus on timber production. Ecology of a ManagedTerrestrial Landscape responds to the increasing need of forestpolicy developers, planners, and managers for an integrated,comprehensive perspective on ecological landscapes.The book examines the "big picture" of ecological patternsand processes through a case study of the vast managed forest region inOntario. The contributors synthesize current landscape ecologicalknowledge of this area and look at gaps and future research directionsfrom several points of view: spatial patterns, ecological functions andprocesses, natural disturbances, and ecological responses todisturbance. They also discuss the integration of landscape ecologicalknowledge into policies of forest management policies, particularlywith respect to Ontario's legislative goals of forestsustainability.Ecology of a Managed Terrestrial Landscape is the firstbook to describe the landscape ecology of a continuously forestedlandscape in a comprehensive manner. It is written for instructors andstudents in forest management, wildlife ecology, and landscape ecology,and for forest managers, planners, and policy developers in NorthAmerica. |
