Fragmented Forest

In this poineering application of island biogeography theory, Harris presents an alternative to current practices of timber harvesting. "e;Harris pulls together many threads of biological thinking about islands and their effect on plant and animal survival and evolution. He weaves these threads into a model for managing forest lands in a manner that might serve both our short-term economic and social needs as well as what some people feel is our ancient charge to be steward of all parts of creation."e;-American Forests Winner of the 1986 Wildlife Society Publication Award
