Natural forests with thousands of years of ecological continuity
are unrivalled as the treasure store of terrestrial biodiversity on
Earth. And while there is currently no fully comprehensive
inventory of the biota associated with any given forest, it is
reasonable to assume that in conserving natural forests we can
conserve the myriads of unnamed bacteria, fungi, insects, mites and
nematodes that forests support.
Drawing on diverse research from biodiversity experts around the
world, this collection of papers reflects the diversity of forest
types and forest issues that concern forest scientists globally.
Forest types considered vary from savannah and tropical rainforests
to the ancient oak forests of Poland; issues explored include the
effects of logging, management practices, forest dynamics and
climate change on forest structure and biodiversity.
Given the range of topics covered, this book should be of
particular interest to those involved in teaching forest
conservation and management, as well as to researchers requiring an
overview of current work in forest diversity, conservation and
sustainable management.
