Abstract

Until recent times man’s exploitation and manipulation of the temperate forest ecosystem was limited to harvesting its biological productivity by hunting and forestry. As the density and requirements of the human populations living in these areas increased, the nature of man’s exploitation changed to include the physical attributes, and the temperate forest is increasingly looked to as an important source of water and recreational space.
