Uses a mechanistic perspective to describe how forests grow and respond to intentional manipulations and natural disturbances. Synthesizes the latest information from physiology, ecology and silviculture in order to enable future research efforts to build on this knowledge. Demonstrates that similar development patterns are occurring in numerous North American forests and beyond.
I was recommended this by one of my professors and I found it very valuable, definitely recommend to any up-and-coming foresters and ecologists. I feel like I'll be going back to it for many years.
