Abstract
This is the tenth volume in the Springer Landscape Series the purpose of which is to provide a forum for dealing with the complexity of landscapes worldwide As the foreword acknowledges this volume represents a departure from previous volumes by shifting from a focus on deforestation to a broader view of regrowth reforestation or afforestationAs with many multiauthored volumes such as this the first and last chapters have been reserved by the editors to place a context for the volume and provide some wrapup conclusions As is not uncommon this book takes what I often refer to as the “funnel approach” in as much as the beginning few chapters lay out broad principles and establish the framework followed by regional studies of reforestation in complex landscapes and finishing up with specific case studies of defined landscapes All in all there are 16 chapters each with its own literature cited 367 pages of text a 9 page index and 18 pages of high quality color plates
