Abstract

Forest peat management issues are reviewed in terms of their history since the 1962 publication of Silent Spring; a view of synthetic chemical pesticides and their controversy is given. The negative or destructive effects of pests on human resources is provided, as is the role of pests that help maximize and stabilize resources (such as fire). Intact natural forests must continue to be available for comparison with managed ones; in this way forest and pest management strategies can be improved. -from Author
