    The second edition of the Ecological Forest Management Handbook continues to provide forestry professionals and students with basic principles of ecological forest management and their applications at regional and site-specific levels. Thoroughly updated and revised, the handbook addresses numerous topics and explains that ecological forest management is a complex process that requires broad ecological knowledge. It discusses how to develop adaptive management scenarios to harvest resources in a sustainable way and provide ecosystem services and social functions. It includes new studies on ecological indicators, the carbon cycle, and ecosystem simulation models for various forest types: boreal, temperate, and tropical forests. New in the Second Edition: Provides a comprehensive collection of sustainable forest management principles and their applications. Covers new ecological indicators that can be applied to address forest environmental issues. Includes all types of models: empirical, gap, and process-based models. Explains several basic ecological and management concepts in a clear, easy-to-understand manner. This handbook is intended for researchers, academics, professionals, and undergraduate and graduate students studying and/or involved in the management of forest ecosystems.
