Summary:

The most up-to-date and comprehensive reference work available, Dictionary of Natural Resource Management provides a single source of definitions of natural resource management terms. It includes more than 6,000 entries, many of them illustrated and annotated, and a detailed set of appendices covering conversion factors, geological time scales, and classifications of organisms. The body of the dictionary encompasses terminology from the traditional fields of forestry, silviculture, pest management, forest fire control, geology, pedology, engineering, and planning. In addition, there are terms from the emerging disciplines of landscape ecology, conservation biology, conflict resolution, and sustainable development planning. The field of natural resource management is expanding, attracting individuals and ideas from a wide array of disciplines. For effective communication to take place, it is increasingly important to know the exact meanings attached to terms used. The Dictionary of Natural Resources Management addresses this need.
