Hidden Forest: the Biography of an Ecosystem

Author(s): Luoma, J.R.

Year: 2006

Publisher: Oregon State University Press

ISBN: 087071094X

Subject: Natural History

Comments: From Amazon.com Veteran science writer Luoma here chronicles the work of a unique and fascinating scientific research project that, over the course of several decades, will bring together scientists from almost every discipline-botanists, entomologists, wildlife ecologists, soil biologists, etc.-to piece together the long-term natural history of a single forest ecosystem, in this case a majestic old-growth forest of the Pacific Northwest. What emerges is a wealth of information that even now is pointing the way to a new approach to forest management, one that will allow for the cutting of trees for timber, while preserving the beauty and integrity of these proud woods.
