How well do we understand natural forest disturbances and how might we emulate them in forest management? What role does emulation play in forest management? Representing a range of geographic perspectives from across Canada and the United States, this book looks at the escalating public debate on the viability of natural disturbance emulation for sustaining forest landscapes from the perspective of policymakers, forestry professionals, academics, and conservationists. 606 $aEcological disturbances$zCanada 606 $aEcological disturbances$zUnited States 606 $aForest ecology$zCanada 606 $aForest ecology$zUnited States 606 $aForest management$zCanada 606 $aForest management$zUnited States 615 0$aEcological disturbances 615 0$aEcological disturbances 615 0$aForest ecology 615 0$aForest ecology 615 0$aForest management 615 0$aForest management 676 $a634.92 700 $aPerera$b Ajith H$0935662 701 $aBuse$b Lisa J$g(Lisa Jean),$f1962-$01512249 701 $aWeber$b Michael G$c(Forester)$0190946 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785745003321 996 $aEmulating natural forest landscape disturbances$93746054 997 $aUNINA
