Old Growth Urban Forests

From the reviews: "The author seeks to further expand the use of the term 'old growth, to describe certain forests within a metropolitan matrix. ... Loeb,s call for understanding the history, condition, and future of our older urban forests, and managing for their continuity, is important and should be well heeded. ... Proper understanding and management of mature and old growth urban forests is necessary for their preservation, and Loeb,s book offers us an important window to assist in our efforts at effective stewardship for future generations." (Robert James Scheff, Castanea, Vol. 77 (1), March, 2012) "This volume deals with a topic which is very interesting for a deeper understanding of the evolution and the present meaning of old growth urban forests. ... This book is a very interesting addition ... to the vast literature on urban forests. ... accessible and up-to-date volume with much valuable reference material, advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in the field of old and present urban forestry, will find clear explanations of concepts, principles and terminology."
