内容説明
North America's wild forests represent the climax of millions of years of evolution. These complex ecosystems protect soil and water resources, provide habitat for wildlife, and are intrinsically connected to climatic stability and biological diversity. The Sierra Club Guide to Understanding Forests is an indispensable primer that explains the way forests work, the controversies over their protection, the consequences of forest destruction, and the principles of sustainable forest management. Key topics include: -- What is a forest?-- The history of the U.S. Forest Service and controversies surrounding current management practices-- Logging techniques and their threats to forests-- The principles of good forestry and the history of forest protection efforts-- Sustainable and restoration forestry-- How to plant trees-- A call to action for those who want to preserve forests
