Technology transfer for ecosystem management

Abstract

In many parts of our country today, forest health and sustainability are important management questions. Some individuals and groups have observed that during the past century the emphasis in American forest management on commodity production has, in many cases, contributed to a unhealthy forest landscape. For example, the forestland in eastern Oregon has considerably declined because of the overharvest of commercially valuable ponderosa pine because of over-intensive fire control.
