“This updated second edition draws on recent research and case studies in a range of geographic and ecological settings to explore the relationships between managed forests and climate change. … This book will be of most use to students, scholars, and practitioners interested in forest management, as well as forest and environmental policy in the context of climate change. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above; faculty and professionals.” (J. L. Rhoades, Choice, Vol.55 (2), October, 2017)
