Forest Ecology and Conservation: A Handbook of Techniques

...an ideal reference for post baccalaureate students who are begining their research... * Bradley C. Bennett Quarterly Review of Biology * 'This is clearly and concisely written, and provides a thorough summary of key areas of forest ecology and critiques the various methods usedOverall, this is an ambitious and rigorous work that should be read by more than the intended readership.' Simon A. Queenborough, Environmental Conservation, Volume 34/4, 2008 In this thorough, well-written, and well-illustrated book, Newton intersperses relevant ecological theory and background information that together provide a rich context pertinent to the techniques illustrated. This book should be part of any forest ecology collection. This book, and this series, will have an impact, not only in helping researchers improve their methods but also in conservation efforts on the ground around the world... Academics will be impressed by the scope and currency of Newton's treatment. Journal of Ecology 2008 Newton does very well in producing an excellent compromise in covering enough techniques to make the book useful without swamping the reader...This will be of use to ecologists at the sharp end of forest conservation but also to those looking for research methods appropriate for forests.
