Emphasizing the biological principles which underlie silvicultural practices rather than the practices themselves, this introduction to plantation silviculture is useful for anyone concerned with forestry. It is divided into four parts: a general introduction discussing the values and productive potential of plantations; a look at basic silviculture, concentrating on coniferous plantations; coverage of more specialized forms of silviculture; and finally aspects of protection and plantation design.
