Towards Forest Management That Conserves Biodiversity :

概要

Today, people's views on natural phenomena have changed and the importance of scale and spatial patterns are recognized. As a consequence, disturbance processes that generate spatial patterns are considered to be increasingly important and it is often suggested that forest management for the conservation of biodiversity should be practiced at multiple scales, simulating natural disturbance regimes. By adopting the frameworks of landscape ecology and hierarchy theory, which is a useful approach for understanding complex systems, we can understand complex forest ecosystems that behave at broad scales, further encouraging development of forest management with conservation of biodiversity in mind. In order to complement the shortcomings of large-scale studies of forest management, we should intermix multiple techniques to approach this problem, and the cooperation between forest managers and researchers is strongly advised.
