Opis

The area where urban lands meet and interact with rural lands, the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), is developing into a major battleground on the environmental front. Forests at the Wildland-Urban Interface: Conservation and Management provides information, principles, tools, and case studies that enhance natural resource management, planning, and policy-making for the Wildland-Urban Interface. The text serves as an excellent guide and reference for natural resource professionals and urban planners as they seek insight on effective ways to address the challenges and opportunities associated with WUI issues as related to diminishing forest lands and natural vegetation areas.
