Forest ecosystems cover around 31% of the total land area of the
Earth. They represent important biodiversity and genetic resources;
provide material goods, including fuelwood, commercial timber,
soils, medicinal plants and others; as well as environmental
services, such as cleaning air and water, sequestering carbon and
maintaining biodiversity. Old-growth forests are those developed
during long periods without relevant human impact and with
distinctive features in terms of forest continuity, structural
heterogeneity, large volumes of standing and fallen deadwood,
decaying ancient and veteran trees, and large diameter live trees.
These characteristics ensure the growth and dispersal of
forest-dwelling species, playing thus a vital role in the
conservation of biodiversity. This book discusses the ecology,
habitat and conservation of old-growth forests, as well as
coniferous forests.
