From the rear cover
The Redwood Forest, written in support of Save-the-Redwoods League's masterplan, brings together the latest insights from conservation biology along with new information from data-gathering techniques such as GIS and remote sensing. It presents the most current findings on the geologic and cultural history, natural history, ecology, management, and conservation of the flora and fauna of the redwood ecosystem.
Leading experts -- including Todd Dawson, Bill Libby, John Sawyer, Steve Sillett, Dale Thornburgh, Hartwell Welsh, and many others -- offer a comprehensive account of the redwoods ecosystem. The Redwood Forest offers a case study for ecosystem-level conservation. It contains the latest information from ground-breaking research on such topics as redwood canopy communities, the role of fog in sustaining redwood forests, and the function of redwood burls. It also presents sobering lessons from current research on the effects of forestry activities on the sensitive faunas of redwood forests and streams.
The Redwood Forest will be a vital resource for everyone involved with conservation of redwoods or any other forest.Details
