What Is Forest Landscape Restoration?
2012The extent and distribution of global forests is a matter of considerable concern.

We describe two case studies in this chapter on restoring mined lands. We first provide restoration practitioners (RPs) an example on how our fivestep adaptive restoration procedure is being put into practice on landscapes disturbed by open-cut, bauxite (aluminum) mining operations. We present major findings from restoration projects we participated in

A Landscape Perspective for Forest Restoration
Journal of Forestry, 2005Forest managers throughout the West are anxiously seeking solutions to the problem of “large crown fires”—destructive blazes atypical of many forest types in the region. These wildfires have created a crisis mentality in management that has focused on rigid prescriptions for fuels reduction, rather than the restoration of diverse, resilient, and self ...
