Forests and Landscapes: Linking Ecology, Sustainability and Aesthetics
Stephen R J Sheppard, Howard W Harshaw
Forests are an important component in the visual appeal of landscapes. There is an increasing recognition of the importance of this subject among foresters and environmental scientists. Increasingly, forest resource managers must consider both the aesthetic consequences of timber harvesting operations and management plans and public perceptions of the sustainability of forest eco-system management.
