North American forestry practices until now have been based on an industrial model now widely perceived to be unsustainable and obsolete. Ecoforestry: The Art and Science of Sustainable, Forest Use focuses on the new paradigm -- the philosophy, goals, policies, and practices of ecologically and economically sustainable forest use.Encyclopedic in scope, Ecoforestry collects in a single volume some of the most renowned authors and practitioners in the field who challenge the industrial forestry, model, then outline the ingredients of a radically alternative approach to forest stewardship. Topics covered include ecoforestry principles and practices; forest ecosystem components and restoration; ethnobotany; fire and ecosystem management; community forestry; wood and forest products certification; the deep ecology movement; and current ecoforestry practitioners and techniques.
