The vast temperate rainforests of coastal British Columbia are world-renowned, but much less is known about the other rainforest located 500 kilometres inland along the western slopes of the interior mountains. The unique integration of continentality and humidity in this region favours the development of lush rainforest communities that incorporate both coastal and boreal elements.
This book brings together a broad spectrum of information about this distinctive ecosystem. It considers the ecological consequences of human activities in the rainforest and presents strategies for its management and conservation.
