- Summary:
- Forests long have been important to humanity and other species of the planet, providing timber and non-timber resources, innumerable ecosystem services, and supporting biological diversity. The technical determination of requiements for a sustained yield of timber was a revolutionary achievement, which has since been extended to the sustainablity of other aspects of forests and diverse human endeavours. Yet the expectations of stasis ans constancy make sustainability difficult in a world undergoing rapid changes, necessitating a paradigm shift that accommodates uncertainty and embraces change. This text examines this important topic.
