Series: Applied Ecology and Environmental Management

The second edition of Ecological Forest Management Handbook continues to provide forestry professionals and students with basic principles of ecological forest management and their applications at regional and site-specific levels. Thoroughly updated and revised, the handbook addresses numerous topics and explains that ecological forest management is a complex process that requires broad ecological knowledge. It discusses how to develop adaptive management scenarios to harvest resources in a sustainable way and provide ecosystem services and social functions. It includes new studies on ecological indicators, the carbon cycle, and ecosystem simulation models for various forest types: boreal, temperate, and tropical forests.

Provides a comprehensive collection of sustainable forest management principles and their applications

Covers new ecological indicators that can be applied to address forest environmental issues

Includes all types of models: empirical, gap, and process-based models

Explains several basic ecological and management concepts in a clear, easy-to- understand manner

This handbook is intended for researchers, academics, professionals, and undergraduate and graduate students studying and/or involved in the management of forest ecosystems.

Reviews for Ecological Forest Management Handbook

The Second Edition of the Ecological Forest Management Handbook builds nicely off the First Edition and is an indispensable guide that navigates the complex terrain of sustainable forestry with clarity and depth. This book not only elucidates the foundational principles of ecological forest management, but also integrates them seamlessly with practical applications and contemporary challenges. From the intricacies of forest ecosystem dynamics to the nuanced discussions on wildlife ecology, management systems, and ecosystem services, each chapter offers a comprehensive exploration enriched by diverse perspectives. What sets this book apart is its holistic approach, which considers ecological, social, and economic dimensions of forest management, ensuring a balanced view essential for today's environmental stewardship. With its extensive references and clear exposition, the Ecological Forest Management Handbook is an invaluable resource for anyone engaged in forestry education, research, or policy, providing theoretical insights and actionable strategies for sustainable forest practices.
