Dear all:
Submissions are invited for a special issue of the *International Journal
of Biodiversity Science, Ecosystem Services & Management*, entitled *Synergies
between biodiversity and management for high-value timber species*. This
issue is based on a technical session at IUFRO 2014, but the issue is open
to authors who did not participate in the session. The deadline has been
extended to April 15, 2015.
This Special Issue examines the scientific basis for managing to create a
…
[View More]positive synergy between biodiversity and high-value timber species.
Management to conserve biodiversity and management for the production of
high-value timber species can be in conflict with each other. The
increasing need to conserve biodiversity and the ongoing demand for
high-value timbers prompt the goal to integrate these management objectives.
Therefore papers are requested for a Special Issue that explores positive
interactions between biodiversity and high-value timbers. This Special
Issue aims for a global scope, including tropical and temperate high-value
timbers. Possible topics include:
- How biodiversity can protect high-value species from pests and
pathogens
- How biodiversity, as an indicator of more intact ecosystems, can
sustain production of high-value species
- How high-value species in restoration and plantations can reestablish
or conserve biodiversity
- How high-value species in enrichment plantings or natural forest can
help maintain intact forests and their biodiversity
- How high-value species themselves are examples of biodiversity in need
of conservation
