Maintaining forest biodiversity by combining protection, management and restoration of forest and woodland landscapes is a central component of sustainable development. Evidence that there are threshold levels for how much habitat loss may be tolerated for viable populations of specialised species to be maintained. Policy-makers, businesses and managers pose questions about how to balance use of renewable forest resources and conserve biodiversity. Examples are presented on how biodiversity assessments can be made. Proposes how the critical gaps in our knowledge identified throughout the book could be filled through macroecological research and international co-operation.

Was haben Landschaften mit Nationalismus, Sozialordnung und Tourismus zu tun? Drei mythische Landschaften - der Romantische Rhein, die schwedische Provinz Dalarna und die englische Countryside - führen diesen Zusammenhang vor Augen. Thomas Etzemüller stellt dar, wie die Imagination nationaler Landschaften, der Wiederaufbau von Burgen, Bauernhöfen oder Dichterhäusern und die touristische Erschließung spezifische nationale Räume schufen - und wie die Verwirklichung dieser »idealen Orte der Gesellschaft« moderne Landschaften zu einer politischen Kraft macht.
"This book is intended to be an introductory text, not a comprehensive treatment of the Swedish vegetation. [The editors] hope that students, teachers, nature conservationists and ecologists will find it a useful introduction as well as a source book"--p. 4.
