First sentence: We cannot have an economically sustainable yield of any forest product, such as wood fiber, water, soil fertility, wildlife, or genetic diversity, until we first have an ecologically sustainable forest, one in which the biological divestments, investments, and reinvestments are balanced in such a way that the forest is self-maintaining in perpetuity.
