The authors employ economic tools to study the allocation of land among alternative activities such as agriculture grazing and forestry which impact upon the landscape." "This text will become indispensable to undergraduate and postgraduate students on a range of courses including agricultural and environmental economics, geography and resource management. Although primarily a textbook, it will also provide a useful overview for policymakers, range scientists, public land managers and anyone with an interest in the economic evaluation of rural land use and forestry."
