 SILVICULTURE:
Concepts and Applications (2nd ed.)
Ralph Nyland. Defines and describes silviculture
as a collection of methods for establishing and maintaining communities
of trees and other vegetation that have value to people. New edition
adds emphasis on the application of silviculture in addressing the non-market
and ecosystem values of forests - to maintain habitat for plants and animals,
enhance the yield of clean water, as well as provide diverse recreational
opportunities. Nyland seeks not only to maintain forests for those
various uses, but to show the ways in which silviculture can increase the
diversity of uses. A practical text known for detailed applications
from the real world of silviculture. 6-3/8 x 9-1/4, 640p, 69 b&w photos,
105 b&w illustrations, 2001.

A CRITIQUE
OF SILVICULTURE: Managing for Complexity
Klaus Puettmann, Christian Messier, K. Coates.
Examines the current state of silviculture (“at the crossroads”) and provides
suggestions for its future development. Includes an overview of the
historical developments of silvicultural techniques. Explains how
its traditional strengths are becoming limitations, and how other fields,
specifically ecology and complexity science, have developed in attempts
to understand the diversity of nature and the variability and heterogeneity
of ecosystems. Suggests that ideas and approaches from these fields
could offer a road map to a new philosophical and practical approach that
endorses managing forests as complex adaptive systems. “A critically
important book that is essential reading for anyone involved with forest
ecology, forestry, silviculture, or the management of forested ecosystems.”

SILVICULTURAL
SYSTEMS
John Matthews (Univ. Aberdeen). In Europe, complete
regimes for regenerating, tending, and harvesting forests, called “silvicultural
systems,” have proved effective solutions to the problems of the reduced
forest area and the demand for sustainable fuelwood and timber. These
regimes are being used successfully in temperate, tropical and sub-tropical
forestry, often in conditions quite different from those in which they
originated. This text describes the theoretical basis and practical
application of twenty (20) silvicultural systems so that foresters and
other land managers, ecologists, and landscape designers can select and
use those best suited to their needs. A valuable reference
reference for both students and professionals in the field. "...The
most important book for British forestry published in this half century,
and will become more and more relevant in to the next" - Quarterly Journal
of Forestry. 6 x 9, 304p, 31 illustrations, 1990.
