"The 5th edition of Forest Ecology re-discovers the readability and accessibility of the previous editions. Much of the material covered in the 4th edition is just as relevant in the field today as it was almost 20 years ago. This new edition includes additional topical material that has surfaced in the field, such as climate change, invasive species, and the application of landscape ecology in forest management. Advances in our understanding of climate change impacts has grown exponentially over the last two decades, as has our exposure and experience with invasive species and their impacts of forests. The field of forest ecology in general is trending towards an understanding of site-species relationships as well as broad-scale ecological variability -- trends astutely sensed by Dr. Barnes in the 1990s. The field is demanding that students and researchers think at multiple scales. As such, the book fills a niche utilized by no other forest ecology text on the market"-- Provided by publisher.
