520 "The North Pacific temperate rainforest, stretching from
southern Alaska to northern California, is the largest
temperate rainforest on earth. This book provides a
multidisciplinary overview of key issues important for the
management and conservation of the northern portion of
this rainforest, located in northern British Columbia and
southeastern Alaska. This region encompasses thousands of
islands and millions of acres of relatively pristine
rainforest, providing an opportunity to compare the
ecological functioning of a largely intact forest
ecosystem with the highly modified ecosystems that typify
most of the world's temperate zone. The book examines the
basic processes that drive the dynamic behavior of such
ecosystems and considers how managers can use that
knowledge to sustainably manage the rainforest and balance
ecosystem integrity with human use. Together, the
contributors offer a broad understanding of the challenges
and opportunities faced by scientists, managers, and
conservationists in the northern portion of the North
Pacific rainforest that will be of interest to
conservation practitioners seeking to balance economic
sustainability and biodiversity conservation across the
globe. Gordon Orians is professor emeritus of biology at
the University of Washington. John Schoen is a senior
science adviser at Audubon Alaska. Other contributors
include Paul Alaback, Bill Beese, Frances Biles, Todd
Brinkman, Joe Cook, Lisa Crone, Dave D'Amore, Rick Edwards,
Jerry Franklin, Ken Lertzman, Stephen MacDonald, Andy
MacKinnon, Bruce Marcot, Joe Mehrkens, Eric Norberg,
Gregory Nowacki, Dave Person, and Sari Saunders"--
