| Abstract
|
:
|
This book offers an updated overview of some 68 species of silvicultural importance in British forestry. The book provides concise but detailed information about the silvicultural characteristics of forest trees in Britain, in a readily accessible form. It is written by an internationally recognized expert in silviculture and includes a comprehensive key for identifying common species. For this new edition, content has been expanded to cover species susceptible to climate change threats including walnut, eucalypts, sweet chestnut, maples and cherry. The book is an essential reading for forestry students and practitioners and for forest ecologists and conservation scientists.
