Description
Springer Applying Ecological Principles To Land Management by R.T.T. Forman, Virginia H. Dale, Richard A. Haeuber
This volume incorporates case studies that explore past and current land use decisions on both public and private lands, and includes practical approaches and tools for land use decision-making. The most important feature of the book is the linking of ecological theory and principle with applied land use decision-making. The theoretical and empirical are joined through concrete case studies of actual land use decision-making processes.
