Sustainability and long-term planning are the two terms  best describing the philosophy of traditional forest management  practices. However, the traditional planning techniques are not  primarily developed to maintain sustainability of biodiversity. \u003cbr\u003e  The gap between the international commitments and the practices in  forest assessment and management is obvious. This publication presents  experience in methodology for assessing and monitoring the variation  of ecosystems and habitats in relation to biodiversity conservation  and for integrating biodiversity in regional planning of forest  management and land use. The state of the art in the field of natural  resource assessments with special reference to forest biodiversity is  reviewed, progress in integrating data on biodiversity in forest  management planning is presented and the information needs regarding  biodiversity conservation and the question to what degree assessment  methods for forest biodiversity can be simplified for practical  applications are discussed. \u003cbr\u003e  The book is intended for researchers and practitioners in the field of  forest and environmental planning and environmental policies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048149629\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-9006-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240.0cm x160.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 422.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359019135116,"sku":"9789048149629","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048149629_0fd2f591-8dec-4413-ae52-6922fd58bd01.jpg?v=1759286792","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048149629","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
