At the risk of merely adding to the bloated and growing literature available on the disciplines of ecology and management while making little meritorious contribution to either, this book attempts to bridge the gap between these literatures and disciplines. As with most books, there are few data and concepts in this text that have not been recorded previously. However, ecology and management have not always been explicitly linked, although each discipline can benefit from the other. | Applied Ecology and Natural Resource Management Guy R. McPherson and Stephen DeStefano Cambridge CAMB more information - www.cambridge.org 9780521811279 This page intentionally left blank Applied Ecology and Natural Resource Management The science of ecology and the practice of management are critical to our understanding of the Earth s ecosystems and our efforts to conserve them. This book attempts to bridge the gap between ecology and natural resource management and in particular focuses on the discipline of plant ecology as a foundation for vegetation and wildlife management. It describes how concepts and approaches used by ecologists to study communities and ecosystems can be applied to their management. Guy R. McPherson and Stephen DeStefano emphasize the importance of thoughtfully designed and carefully conducted scientific studies to both the advancement of ecological knowledge and the application of techniques for the management of plant and animal populations. The book is aimed at natural resource managers as well as graduate and advanced undergraduate students who are familiar with fundamental ecological principles and who want to use ecological knowledge as a basis for the management of ecosystems. guy r.
