Ecological Forest Management Handbook de Guy R. Larocque

Ecological Forest Management Handbook: Applied Ecology and Environmental Management

Editat de Guy R. Larocque
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 aug 2024
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.
NEW IN THE SECOND EDITION
  • 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.
Chapter 18 of this book is available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page at www.taylorfrancis.com. It has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 license.

Notă biografică

Guy R. Larocque, PhD, is a research scientist for the Canadian Forest Service, a sector of Natural Resources Canada, at the Laurentian Forestry Centre, Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. He is also an adjunct professor in the Faculty of Natural Resources Management at Lakehead University (Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada). Dr. Larocque is Associate Editor of Ecoscience. Until recently, he served on the editorial board of Ecological Modelling. He has published papers on productivity and succession, carbon cycles, uncertainty analysis, and the development of empirical, succession (gap), and process-based models for forest ecosystems and was Guest Editor of special issues in Ecological Modelling, Écoscience and Forests.

Recenzii

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.
