Bøger af Carl E. Fiedler

Authors Carl E. Fiedler and Stephen F. Arno recount the history of humans among the ponderosa pines, the historical role of fire, how and why the forest has changed, and what people can do to restore the forest to its former glory.

The stands of old-growth trees in the forests of western North America depend on periodic fires for their creation or survival. Forest ecologists Stephen Arno and Carl Fiedler present "restoration forestry" - an ecological approach that establishes forests in which fire can serve as a beneficial process rather than a destructive aberration.
