| Abstract: |
Defining forest health has proven to be something akin to shooting at a moving target. Different groups and different folks often mean different things when they use the term. Attempts to formulate a standard ''one size fits all'' definition have occupied untold hours of bureaucratic, professional and academic meetings, and consensus remains elusive. Why? To begin with, when we talk about forest health, it is necessary to identify the scale of our focus. Are we talking about a pine plantation, a particular forest ownership, a county, a state, a region, etc.? Such scale is not always defined, and is often prioritized differently by different people for varying reasons. |
