Fishes and Forestry

Beschreibung

Many species of fish occupying inland waters reside in watershedsthat were or still are surrounded by forests and are dependent inmajor ways upon such cover. The interactions between fishes andforests are complex, multifaceted, dynamic processes involving mostinland surface waters, forests, subsurface waters, geology andsoils, climate and its changes, and the biotic components of therelevant ecosystems. These interactions also include the aspects offorestry tied to human development, economics, population growthand even philosophies. Fishes and Forestry is truly a landmark publication. Theeditors, Professors Northcote and Hartman, have drawn together andcarefully edited chapters written by 56 scientists from around theworld, covering a vast wealth of information never before appearingwithin the covers of one book. Following an introductory chapter,this exceptional work is broadly divided into sections covering:the ecology of forests, streams, lakes and estuaries; fish biologyand ecology; forestry activities and their effects on aquaticsystems and fishes; 14 chapters covering examples of fish-forestryinteractions from around the world and a final section coveringmeans of effecting better fish-forestry interactions. Fishes and Forestry is an essential purchase for allthose involved in inland fisheries, forestry and their interaction,including fisheries scientists, fish biologists, ecologists,environmental scientists and forestry scientists. Libraries in alluniversities and research establishments where these subjects arestudied and taught should have several copies on their shelves.

"A casual glance at the Preface of this truly remarkable bookhighlights the dedication and enthusiasm by which the two editors,Professors Northcote and Hartman, have approached the writing andorganization of this 'landmark' publication. They have drawntogether over 56 experts from around the world to contribute tothis extensive text. As a major reference and research text within the subject it islikely to become a classic and is certainly recommended forpurchase by libraries, research establishments researchers andadvanced level students who have an interest in fisheries, forestryand/or ecology." The Bulletin, British Ecological Society, November 2004 "For most regions of the world, the scientific literaturedescribing the linkage between fishes and forests isscattered... To fill this void, Northcote and Hartman mobilizedmore than four dozen fish and forest experts from around theworld... Assembling such a group,...editing disparatemanuscripts into a cohesive writing style, and producing areader-friendly book is a monumental task... The editors havedone these tasks very well. In summary, this book makes a significant contribution to thescience and natural resource management literature. Its worldwideperspective is an especially important feature. The editors are tobe lauded for...producing a book that is well integrated,consistently written, and refreshingly comprehensive. ...afirst class book." Environmental Reviews (National Research Council Canada),December 2004 The editors and authors of Fishes and Forestry haveprovided the first global perspective on fish-forestryinteractions. This book is essential reading for any scientist,resource manager, or member of the public interested in forestedlandscapes. Every university and resource training center should have copiesavailable for the scientists and resource managers of thefuture.
