Salvage logging refers to removing trees from a forested area in the wake of a catastrophic event such as a wildfire or hurricane. This book explores the issues surrounding the practice of salvage logging. It synthesizes the research about its economic and ecological costs and benefits, and considers its impacts on ecosystem processes.
"Salvage Logging" is the first book to present a unified approach to considering the range of issues involved in salvage logging, making it a "must-read" volume for policymakers, students, academics, practitioners, and professionals involved in all aspects of forest management, natural resource planning, and forest conservation.
