Yet as more of the planet undergoes profound and accelerating climate change, deforestation, loss of biotic diversity, and a pitiless spread of pests and pathogens, which trees--if any--will thrive are increasingly urgent questions. Managing healthy forests remains factually uncertain, an uneasy dance between law and science. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e How can law facilitate or even accelerate the application of forest ecology on landscapes like our national forests? This book is a thorough exploration of that question from more than a century of intersections of law and science on the national forests. With a focus on law--as distinct from mere policy--as an agent in human relations and as a catalyst of scientific research, it makes the case that we can and must do better to solve intractable land management problems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jamison E.
