This volume provides a detailed country-by-country account of the
increase in forest resources in Europe. The author discusses the
implications of this expansion for the future health and vitality
of the forests, for forest policy management and silviculture, and
for the economic viability and environmental sustainability of the
resource. An increase in thinnings and regeneration cuttings is
advocated, replacing unstable tree species by true climatic climax
species, and shortening rotation ages. The author concludes that
preserving the sustainability and biodiversity of Europe's forest
ecosystems can be achieved by maintaining the genetic diversity,
density, age and health stability of forests, protecting biotopes
of endangered species and establishing cultural biotopes and
strictly protected natural reserves.
