The unique integration of continentality and humidity in this region favours the development of lush rainforest communities that incorporate both coastal and boreal elements. This book brings together, for the first time, a broad spectrum of information about the ecology, management, and conservation of this distinctive ecosystem. Accessibly written and generously illustrated, the chapters examine the physical, social, economic, and ecological dimensions of the rainforest. They also look at how the delicate balance of this ecosystem has been threatened by human use and climate change. In the past, governments encouraged the forest industry to clearcut the "decadent" old stands and replace them with rapidly growing young trees of other species. More recently, out of concern for the ecological consequences of such practices, researchers have begun to examine alternative management strategies. This book offers a vision that combines various strategies in order to balance the conservation of the inland rainforest as a fully functioning ecosystem with human use of its diverse resources. 606 $aTemperate rain forest ecology$zBritish Columbia 606 $aTemperate rain forest conservation$zBritish Columbia 606 $aTemperate rain forests$zBritish Columbia$xManagement 606 $aTemperate rain forests$zBritish Columbia 615 0$aTemperate rain forest ecology 615 0$aTemperate rain forest conservation 615 0$aTemperate rain forests$xManagement. 615 0$aTemperate rain forests 676 $a333.7509711 700 $aStevenson$b Susan K., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$01550218 701 $aStevenson$b Susan K$01550218 701 $aDrinkwater$b Bob$01550219 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789622303321 996 $aBritish Columbia's inland rainforest$93808859 997 $aUNINA
