Starrs et al. 330 $aThe oak tree was a boon companion as humans expanded their presence across much of the globe. While oak woodlands (Quercus spp.) come today in stunningly diverse forms, the stately dehesas of Spain and the dramatic oak-dominated ranchlands of California are working landscapes where cultivation and manipulation for a couple of millennia have shaped Mediterranean-type ecosystems into a profoundly modified yet productive environment that is sought-after by every manner of species. The grazing of wildlife and livestock in oak woodlands yields a remarkable plant and animal biodiversity, creating a mosaic of habitats and visually pleasing savannas. Added products unique to Spain such as Iberian pigs and cork, and in California multiple landowner benefits, include valued ecosystem services that allow owners, visitors, and conservation supporters to experience the benefits of woodland life. With its 15 chapters a decade in the making, this handsomely illustrated book covers key topics in oak woodland policy, ecology, and management in Spain and California, presenting new research results and reviewing an existing expert literature. 410 0$aLandscape Series,$x1572-7742 ;$v16 606 $aOak$xEcology$zSpain 606 $aOak$xEcology$zCalifornia 606 $aLandscape ecology$zSpain 606 $aLandscape ecology$zCalifornia 606 $aForest biodiversity conservation$vCase studies 615 0$aOak$xEcology 615 0$aOak$xEcology 615 0$aLandscape ecology 615 0$aLandscape ecology 615 0$aForest biodiversity conservation 676 $a333.75 676 $a634.9721091822 701 $aCampos$b Pablo$01759056 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437615003321 996 $aMediterranean oak woodland working landscapes$94197422 997 $aUNINA
