It provides new insights in a multi-scale perspective into forest management, landscape connectivity changes, forest biomass patterns and species composition, and biological invasions of Andean forests, in a context of anthropogenic disturbance and global change. The studies cover gradients of forest ecosystems from Venezuela to southern Chile. 606 $aForests and forestry 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology 606 $aLandscape ecology 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aForestry 606 $aConservation Biology 606 $aLandscape Ecology 606 $aEnvironmental Management 615 0$aForests and forestry. 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aLandscape ecology. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 14$aForestry. 615 24$aConservation Biology. 615 24$aLandscape Ecology. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 676 $a634.9 676 $a577.3 702 $aClerici$b Nicola$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910999690903321 996 $aConservation of Andean Forests$94375940 997 $aUNINA
