Olson D.H., Van Horne B. (eds.) People, Forests, and Change: Lessons from the Pacific Northwest

Island Press/Center for Resource Economics, 2017. — 331 p. — ISBN: 9781610918749, 9781610917681.In this volume, the editors have assembled an expert panel of social and forest scientists to consider the nature of forests in flux and how to best balance the needs of forests and the rural communities closely tied to them. The book considers the temperate moist-coniferous forests of the US Pacific Northwest, but many of the concepts apply broadly to challenges in forest management in other regions and countries. In the US northwest, forest ecosystem management has been underway for two decades, and key lessons are emerging. The text is divided into four parts that set the stage for forests and rural forest economies, describe dynamic forest systems at work, consider new science in forest ecology and management, and ponder the future for these coniferous forests under different scenarios.Introduction: The Human-Forest Ecosystem (Deanna H.
