{"product_id":"plantation-silviculture-in-europe-peter-savill-9780198549086","title":"Plantation Silviculture in Europe","description":"As pressures to preserve natural forest resources have increased, plantation forestry and its study have gained in importance. \u003cem\u003ePlantation Silviculture in Europe\u003c\/em\u003e is an up-to-date, timely, and comprehensive exploration of the principles that underlie the planting and maintaining of forest resources. Based on the excellent reception of Savill and Evans' \u003cem\u003ePlantation Silviculture in Temperate Regions\u003c\/em\u003e (OUP, 1986), which was largely UK-based, the inclusion of two European authors ensures that the scope of this new book extends across the entire continent. \u003cem\u003ePlantation Silviculture in Europe\u003c\/em\u003e provides a thorough overview of the central aspects of conventional plantation forestry, covering site preparation, choice of species, establishment and maintenance, nutrition, spacing, thinning and pruning, and protection. In addition, it acknowledges the changing emphasis and increasing diversity of contemporary forestry, and includes chapters on community woodlands, urban forests, plantings for amenity and sport, and energy crops. Throughout, an attempt is made to set practices in the context of the ecological and biological forest processes which underpin them. \u003cem\u003ePlantation Silviculture\u003c\/em\u003e also incorporates discussion of the many environmental, social and policy issues that surround forestry today. Concise and clearly written, this will be essential reading for graduate and undergraduate forestry students and forestry professionals alike. Likely to become the standard text throughout Europe, it also contains much material of relevance to foresters in North America, East Asia, and Australasia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Savill,Julian Evans,Daniel Auclair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198549083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198549086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.12w x 0.66d","brand":"Peter Savill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419016478975,"sku":"9780198549086","price":98.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_049ef0d8-2e9e-4be6-8398-14608a32a74d.jpg?v=1761508925","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/plantation-silviculture-in-europe-peter-savill-9780198549086","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
