The Fragmented Forest
Island Biogeography Theory and the Preservation of Biotic Diversity
Book • 1984
In this groundbreaking work, Larry D. Harris applies island biogeography theory to address contemporary forest management practices and conservation challenges.
The book presents an alternative approach to timber harvesting that balances short-term economic and social needs with long-term ecological stewardship, drawing together biological thinking about how islands and isolated habitats affect plant and animal survival and evolution.
Winner of the 1986 Wildlife Society Publication Award, the work weaves together multiple threads of ecological theory into a practical model for managing forest lands.
