Silviculture 

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, and 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 illus., 2001.
