Designing green landscapes

"Von Gadow and Pukkala's unique, Designing Given Landscapes, presents the latest thinking in adaptive management for forest ecosystems. Based on the 'multiple path' principle, this approach links species choice and silvicultural methods with changing demands and changing environmental conditions, to ensure continuous adaptation, often several limes within the lifetime of a tree." "Presenting new approaches to land management, this book represents a useful reference text for researchers and graduate students in forest management, ecology, modelling and landscape planning. It will also provide a valuable resource for professionals working for Land Management Agencies or as environmental consultants."--Jacket.
