Riassunto
Please note that this book is available as an Open Access title via Science Direct.
Guidelines for Climate Adaptive Forest Restoration and Reforestation Projects addresses a critical problem in the field of forestry: how to manage the need of targeted seedlings for planting projects under climate change. Edited by experts in the field, this necessary guide focuses on the production and deployment of climate-adapted species and material that is essential for successful regeneration and restoration. It is an ideal resource for students of ecology, forest managers, and practitioners who contribute to the well-being of forest ecosystems.
As forestry professionals often grapple with the complexities of climate impacts and the need to adapt forest management practices to the changing climate while preserving biodiversity and maintaining sustainable ecosystems, this is a welcomed resource.
