Oldgrowth forests represent a lofty ideal as much as an ecosysteman icon of unspoiled nature, ecological stability, and pristine habitat. These iconic notions have actively altered the way society relates to oldgrowth forests, catalyzing major changes in policy and management. But how appropriate are those changes and how well do they really serve in reaching conservation goals?Old Growth in a New World untangles the complexities of the old growth concept and the parallel complexity of oldgrowth policy and management. It brings together more than two dozen contributorsecologists, economists, sociologists, managers, historians, silviculturists, environmentalists, timber producers, and philosophersto offer a broad suite of perspectives on changes that have occurred in the valuing and management of oldgrowth forests in the Pacific Northwest over the past thirty years. The book introduces the issues and history of oldgrowth values and conservation in the Pacific Northwest; explores old growth through the ideas of leading ecologists and social scientists; addresses the implications for the future management of oldgrowth forests and considers how evolving science and social knowledge might be used to increase conservation effectiveness.By confronting the complexity of the oldgrowth concept and associated policy and management challenges, Old Growth in a New World encourages productive discussion on the future of old growth in the Pacific Northwest and offers options for more effective approaches to conserving forest biodiversity.
