  • Evidence that there are threshold levels for how much habitat loss may be tolerated for viable populations of specialised species to be maintained.
  • Policy-makers, businesses and managers pose questions about how to balance use of renewable forest resources and conserve biodiversity.

From the Inside Flap

With its 38 papers, this volume presents emerging knowledge contributing to the development and use of scientifically founded targets for the maintenance of forest biodiversity. The focus is on boreal and mountain ecoregions, emphasizing the role of understanding effects of the human footprint on forest responses of animal species to the amount of habitat suggest that there are limits to how large this footprint can be. A suite of methods for monitoring an assessment of biodiversity elements at multiple scales are proposed. Thus, this book is of great interest of all actors involved in sustainable forest and landscape management.
