The discipline of landscape ecology has matured rapidly over the
past few decades, generating a wealth of knowledge that can be used
to enhance forest policy development and management. However, much
of this knowledge has yet to be applied in practice.
Forest Landscape Ecology: Transferring Knowledge to Practice is
the first book to introduce landscape ecologists to the discipline
of knowledge transfer. The book considers knowledge transfer in
general, critically examines aspects of transfer that are unique to
forest landscape ecology, and reviews several case studies of
successful applications for policy developers and forest managers
in North America. Readers are encouraged to recognize the value of
sharing their knowledge, and to understand their role in active
knowledge transfer. The intent is to connect, as seamlessly and
effectively as possible, ecological principles to policy and
practice.
This book is written for researchers, academics and students in
landscape ecology and related fields, as well as policymakers and
land and resource managers who are interested in landscape-level
approaches.
