Forest Futures

Science, Politics, and Policy for the Next Century
Herausgeber: Arabas, Karen B.; Bowersox, Joe

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The 15 original essays written by leading scientists, policy analysts, public lands managers, and advocates addresses four related issues regarding the future of our nation's forests: ideas and practices of sustainable forestry; science and policymaking; threatened and endangered species protection on forested lands; and the future of public forest lands management in the Pacific Northwest. Though the focus of the essays is regional, the co-editors' introduction and conclusion will make connections between the Northwest forests as a case study and scientific and policy dilemmas generally.
