 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.

SILVICULTURAL
SYSTEMS

systems” are complete regimes that regenerate, tend, and harvest forests.
They have proved effective in Europe and successful in temperate and sub-tropical
forestry, often in conditions quite different from those in which they
originated. Describes 20 systems so that foresters, land managers,
& ecologists may select and use those best-suited to their needs. 6
x 9, 304p, 31 illustrations, 1990.

geographic variation in tree species among & within populations of
trees from a world-wide perspective. Discusses population genetic
theory and genetic systems of native N.A. tree species as they interact
with environments in major global climatic regions. Demonstrates
how this knowledge is used to guide seed zoning and transfer in silviculture.
A comprehensive reference for foresters, biologists and others who work
with trees. 6-1/4 x 9-1/4, 214p, 1996.
