Synopsis :

Although the majority of the world’s forest ecosystems are dominated by uneven-sized multi-species stands, forest management practice and theory has focused on the development of plantation monocultures to maximize the supply of timber at low cost. Societal expectations are changing, however, and uneven-aged multi-species ecosystems, selectively managed as Continuous Cover Forestry (CCF), are often believed to be superior to monocultures in addressing a wide range of expectations. This book presents methods which are relevant to CCF management and planning: analysing forest structures, silvicultural and planning, economic evaluation, based on examples in Europe, Asia, Africa and North and South America.

Présentation de l'éditeur:

Continuous cover forestry is the selective management of uneven-aged multi-species ecosystems, a methodology with clear advantages over diversity-destroying monocultures. This book uses examples from around the world to demonstrate its implementation.
