Floodplain Forests Along the Tanana River: Interior Alaska Terrestrial Ecosystem Dynamics and Management Considerations SUMMARY Despite some confusion over the objectives and methods of ecosystem management (Yaffee 1999), there is increasing interest on the part of resource managers, scientists, and the public in moving toward ecosystem management of forest resources (Calhoun 1998). The Society of American Foresters (SAF) defined ecosystem management as an ecological approach to forest resources management that “attempts to maintain the complex processes, pathways and interdependencies of forest ecosystems and keep them functioning well over long periods of time, in order to provide resilience to short-term stress and adaptation to long-term change. Thus, the condition of the forest landscape is the dominant focus, and the sustained... Categories: Publication; Types: Citation; Tags: M1-Ecosystems

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
