Foreword; Plantation forests and biodiversity: oxymoron or opportunity?; Epiphytes of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) plantations in Ireland and the effects of open spaces; Bird assemblages in pine plantations replacing native ecosystems in NW Patagonia; Identifying practical indicators of biodiversity for stand-level management of plantation forests; Options for biodiversity conservation in managed forest landscapes of multiple ownerships in Oregon and Washington, USA.
Summary
This book brings together a selection of original studies submitted to "Biodiversity and Conservation" that address biodiversity and conservation in Europe. Europe is certainly the most intensively inventoried region of the world; detailed maps are available for species distributions while action plans are being drawn up for species under threat. At the same time, the wildlife of Europe has been subject to enormous human pressures, with limited 'wilderness' sites remaining in most countries. Europe consequently presents a case-study of what the human impact on biodiversity has been.
