Forest Ecology and Conservation

The in-depth study of the diverse species of flora and fauna with respect to an ecosystem is known as forest ecology. The direct consequence of widespread deforestation and human encroachment has been largely felt in the loss of biodiversity in forest ecosystems. Initiating conservation efforts to control the situation requires an understanding of forest dynamics and how different activities influence ecological equilibrium. Due to the advent of modern techniques like remote sensing and geographic information system, the study in forestry has become more detailed. This book presents the researches and techniques that are useful for the study of forest ecology. It is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of forest ecology and conservation. It strives to be a valuable source of information for anyone interested in forest ecology and conservation.
