A unique, integrative consolidation of essential information, this book draws on limnological, conservation biological, and biogeochemical research. It represents the current state of scientific understanding of and management for the effects of forestry practices on lakes. The book provides science-based information on land and water ecological linkages and the impacts of forest management activites on aquatic ecosystems in boreal forests. This text delineates defensible management decisions for the protection of water resources and for sustainable forestry practices that land-use planners, and forestry and fisheries managers can use.
