It provides invaluable insight to how forest planning and management tie into the ecological functioning and resilience of the forest, and does so by utilizing a concept weakly implemented in traditional forest planning: namely, by following the variability in growth, and other processes, over time. This shift in focus better incorporates the services provided by forests, and allows for better adaptation planning to help temperate forests not only survive but thrive in the face of climate change. Real-world case studies demonstrate how to effectively manage temperate forests under climate change, using the results of evidence-based research.
- Outlines innovative practices to evaluate and assess forest management plans
- Provides guidelines and criteria to help forest planning, forest sustainability, and forest management adapt to climate change
- Assists the reader to develop comprehensive forest management plans, complete with sylvicultural interventions, which account for the uncertainties of climate change
Researchers and practitioners in the areas of forestry, natural resource management, environmental science, biological sciences, ecology, public and private forest planners, consultants and managers, conservationists, those involved in the carbon exchange market, climatologists, regional planners
