Somewhere in the temperate forest, a rabbit munches on some grass. An oak tree extends its branches to soak up the sun. A red fox pounces on an unsuspecting squirrel. These are all examples of a biome at work: each member of the community benefiting from another. The temperate forest biome is extremely diverse, with an amazing array of plants and animals. Come take a walk in the woods, and see how the land, climate, plants, and wildlife interact to make the unique temperate forest biome.

While tropical rainforests have received much conservation attention and support for their protection, temperate and boreal rainforests have been largely overlooked. Yet these ecosystems are also unique, supporting rainforest communities rich in plants and wildlife and containing some of the most massive trees on Earth.   Temperate and Boreal Rainforests of the World brings together leading scientists from around the world to describe the ecology and conservation of these lesser-known rainforests in an attempt to place them on par with tropical rainforests in conservation efforts. The booksummarizes major scientific findingspresents new computer models that were used to standardize rainforest definitionsidentifies regions previously not widely recognized as rainforestprovides the latest estimates on rainforest extent and degree of protectionexplores conservation strategies The book ends with a summary of the key ecological findings and outlines an ambitious vision of how we can conserve and manage the planet's remaining temperate and boreal rainforests in a truly ecological way that is better for nature, the climate, and ultimately our own welfare. Temperate and Boreal Rainforests of the World is a call to action for an accord to protect the world's rainforests. It offers a global vision rooted in ecological science but written in common language useful for governments, decision makers, and conservation groups concerned about the plight of these remarkable forests.

Despite many wetland sites having suffered various forms of damage, there has been a recent recognition that, in some instances, it may be possible to rectify this through deliberate and controlled restoration programmes. Wetland restoration involves a variety of disciplines and interests, concerning groups who are interested in wetland utilization (such as farmers, foresters, peat extractors and water authorities), as well as those who wish to safeguard the site or its wildlife (such as conservationists, natural historians, ecologists and archaeologists). Interaction between these action groups is regulated by planners and politicians, and disagreements are frequently fuelled by an absence of reliable information. In these circumstances, wetland scientists have a responsibility to try to acquire and interpret relevant data in an informed, objective and impartial way. This volume reviews the current scientific knowledge of wetland restoration, identifying the problems and opportunities associated with it. Based on revised and edited contributions to the recent Restoration of Temperate Wetlands symposium, it provides a broad overview of current information and experience of wetland restoration. In some cases it highlights the lack of knowledge available and illustrates how difficult it can be to make informed decisions. With contributions from Scandinavia, Europe, Australia, the USA and Canada, outlining the latest research and observations from a range of international wetland scientists and practitioners, this book provides a critical review of current information and knowledge and gives insights into many aspects of wetland restoration, with a focused approach to the ecological principles that underpin it.

This up-to-date volume covers topics central to an understanding of plantation silviculture, distilling much of the scientific background accumulated since plantation forestry first became a significant form of land use in the 1920s. Focusing on the basic principles of silviculture, Savill and Evans discuss general aspects of the planting and maintenance of plantation forests, consider less well-known forms of silviculture, and outline methods to protect plantations from pests, wind, fire and fungi. Based on the authors' own wide experience, this informative study includes numerous references to primary and secondary sources, making it an excellent entry into the main body of silvicultural literature.
