Infos

Many species of fish occupying inland waters reside in watersheds that were or still are surrounded by forests and are dependent in major ways upon such cover. The interactions between fishes and forests are complex, multifaceted, dynamic processes involving most inland surface waters, forests, subsurface waters, geology and soils, climate and its changes, and the biotic components of the relevant ecosystems. These interactions also include the aspects of forestry tied to human development, economics, population growth and even philosophies. Fishes and Forestry is truly a landmark publication. The editors, Professors Northcote and Hartman, have drawn together and carefully edited chapters written by 56 scientists from around the world, covering a vast wealth of information never before appearing within the covers of one book. Following an introductory chapter, this exceptional work is broadly divided into sections covering: the ecology of forests, streams, lakes and estuaries; fish biology and ecology; forestry activities and their effects on aquatic systems and fishes; 14 chapters covering examples of fish-forestry interactions from around the world and a final section covering means of effecting better fish-forestry interactions. Fishes and Forestry is an essential purchase for all those involved in inland fisheries, forestry and their interaction, including fisheries scientists, fish biologists, ecologists, environmental scientists and forestry scientists. Libraries in all universities and research establishments where these subjects are studied and taught should have several copies on their shelves.

Rezensionen

"A casual glance at the Preface of this truly remarkable book
highlights the dedication and enthusiasm by which the two editors,
Professors Northcote and Hartman, have approached the writing and
organization of this 'landmark' publication. They have drawn
together over 56 experts from around the world to contribute to
this extensive text.

As a major reference and research text within the subject it is
likely to become a classic and is certainly recommended for
purchase by libraries, research establishments researchers and
advanced level students who have an interest in fisheries, forestry
and/or ecology."

The Bulletin, British Ecological Society, November 2004

"For most regions of the world, the scientific literature
describing the linkage between fishes and forests is
scattered... To fill this void, Northcote and Hartman mobilized
more than four dozen fish and forest experts from around the
world... Assembling such a group,...editing disparate
manuscripts into a cohesive writing style, and producing a
reader-friendly book is a monumental task... The editors have
done these tasks very well.

In summary, this book makes a significant contribution to the
science and natural resource management literature. Its worldwide
perspective is an especially important feature. The editors are to
be lauded for...producing a book that is well integrated,
consistently written, and refreshingly comprehensive. ...a
first class book."

Environmental Reviews (National Research Council Canada),
December 2004

The editors and authors of Fishes and Forestry have
provided the first global perspective on fish-forestry
interactions. This book is essential reading for any scientist,
resource manager, or member of the public interested in forested
landscapes.

Every university and resource training center should have copies
available for the scientists and resource managers of the
future.

Sciences), Vol 55, August 2005
