Description: "This volume treats the ecology, utilization, and management of freshwater forests within 250 km of the sea coast in the temperate and boreal Northern Hemisphere. . . . The book was derived, in part, from two symposia held in 1990 and 1991; however the 21 articles by 40 authors have recentliterature references and are not outdated by publication in 1997. . . . Most chapters of the book are addressed primarily to forest and preserve managers. However, the several chapters that deal with plant biology and descriptive ecology are also of value as reviews of the state of our knowledge .. . and of interest to taxonomists and ecologists and are worthy of use as first readings for the professional and supplemental readings for students in plant ecology and plant geography courses. A few chapters could even serve as orientation material to be read before one visits some of theinteresting forests for class trips, plant collecting, or tourism."--Brittonia
