| Sumario: | Forest ecologists William Keeton and Andrew Barton bring together an edited volume that breaks new ground in the science of old-growth forest ecosystems in eastern North America and their importance in an age of rapid environmental change. Leading experts examine the latest scientific advances in our understanding of the processes that drive these unique systems, telling a sobering story in which ecological baselines are shifting. They argue, however, that old-growth restoration practices are not only possible but a growing reality. The book makes a compelling case for conserving and managing old growth, providing resilience and ecosystem services for humans and all organisms that rely on healthy forests. |
