Forest Resources in Europe 1950-1990

Contrary to popular belief, Europe's forests have been expanding over the past century. This volume describes the situation since 1950 and examines the negative implications for the health of the forests should this expansion be allowed to continue. The author concludes that active forestry measures need to be taken to ensure the sustainability and biodiversity of this resource, including its regular rejuvination, the protection of genetic resources and endangered species, and the establishment of more natural reserves.Kuusela, Kullervo is the author of 'Forest Resources in Europe 1950-1990' with ISBN 9780521480765 and ISBN 0521480760.
