SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Woodland Habitats explores the history and ecology of British woodlands, and explains why they are such a valuable resource. It offers a practical guide to issues concerned with the ecology of woodland habitats and organisms; conservation and management; coppicing, pasture woodland and commercial forestry; woodland grazing, ride management and recreation in woodlands." "Featuring illustrated species boxes as well as a full species list, examples of notable sites with location maps and pictures, suggested projects and a full glossary, students and environmentalists will gain a deeper understanding of the historical and present-day importance of British woodlands, as both an ecological and a cultural resource."--Jacket.
