2016 SPECIAL ISSUE
A special issue for the journal International Journal of Biodiversity Science, Ecosystem Services & Management 12(1-2) was published on "Synergies between Biodiversity and Timber Management" in April 2016. This Special Issue is based on a technical session entitled “How does biodiversity help to manage high-value timber species, and vice-versa?”, heldat the IUFRO 2014 World Congress in Salt Lake City, USA. Papers examine potential positive interactions between biodiversity and managing for timber production, especially of high-value species. These management goals can be in conflict. But the increasing demands for high-quality timber as well as for biodiversity conservation require that we consider these aims together. Papers range geographically from tropical to temperate forests.
The overview of the special issue can be found at: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/21513732.2016.1169578#abstract .
