Ecology and sustainability of southern temperate ecosystems
1994
Norton, Tony | Dovers, Stephen
"Can conservation and development goals be reconciled, as suggested by the popular notion of sustainable development? Ecology and Sustainability of Southern Temperate Ecosystems explores this proposition and related questions of science and management, focusing on Australia's southern temperate forest ecosystems." "The impacts of wood harvesting, roading, exotic species and other disturbance factors on forest species, communities, habitats and ecosystems are surveyed in various chapters. Despite countless debates, inquiries and management changes, the long-term maintenance of ecological values in native forests used for wood production remains uncertain." "The contributions in this volume demonstrate that finer resolutions of management of production forests are demanded. This in turn will require balancing increased levels of long-term research and monitoring with better abilities to make decisions in the face of uncertainty. However, the capacity of existing policy processes and management regimes to fulfil these demands can be questioned and the role of ecology and ecologists in informing decision making given greater consideration."--BOOK JACKET.
