Summary

1. "Contributors to this volume - leading experts who are agency personnel as well as researchers - now clarify the key elements of sound ecosystem management and offer prescriptions for implementing them."--BOOK JACKET. "The authors discuss definitions of ecosystem management, sustainability of ecological systems, landscape ecology, resource management at different scales and in an ecosystem context, new advances in computer technology that facilitate classification schemes for ecosystems, ecosystem restoration, biological diversity, and public concerns. Throughout, the experts agree that management practices must be sustainable: that production of commodities, such amenities as recreation and aesthetics, and biodiversity must not be allowed to decline over time."--BOOK JACKET.
