"An important and timely addition to a growing literature that documents change and, by implication, underlines our responsibilities to that thing out there that we call 'nature.'"--Michael Williams, "Science
""A must-read for anyone interested in the study of historical forest ecology and anthropogenic impacts on ecosystem dynamics."--Marc D. Abrams, "BioScience"
Industry Reviews
"An important and timely addition to a growing literature that documents change and, by implication, underlines our responsibilities to that thing out there that we call 'nature.'" Michael Williams, Science "A must-read for anyone interested in the study of historical forest ecology and anthropogenic impacts on ecosystem dynamics." Marc D. Abrams, BioScience "With excellent writing and editing, this book synthesizes nearly 100 years of ecological research conducted at Harvard Forest. Much more than a description of research, it provides a framework for ecological studies that is based on an understanding of historical influences on forest structure, composition, and function... It is one of a few select works that documents how the history of land use, climate, physiography and ecology interact to shape the contemporary landscape. It should therefore be on every forest ecologist's bookshelf. Highly recommended." Choice"
