Bücher der Reihe Forestry Sciences

Covers recent advances in the vegetative propagation of woody plants by tissue culture. A wide range of topics relevant to micropropagation of woody plants are discussed, including cellular control of morphogenesis, light regimes in tissue culture and synthetic seed.

World population is increasing at an alarming rate and this has resulted in increasing tremendously the demand for tree products such as wood for construction materials, fuel and paper, fruits, oils and medicines etc.

Meanwhile there is increasing interest in the potential of some tree endophytes as new sources of drug compounds.The first book on tree endophytes in several years, and containing contributions from leading authors in the field, this book provides an important reference text for professional researchers and advanced students.

Tran Van Nao (Editor) The last decade has witnessed a seriously increasing incidence of forest fires in many countries.

The book presented here is prima rily based on lectures given on the subject of Forest Techniques at the Faculty of Forestry at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and after modifications also at the University of Nairobi (Kenya).

Changing environmental conditions substantially affect genetic variation and its dynamics in forest ecosystems and various systems of plantations. In response to these challenges, the present book focuses on the response to stress in terms of case studies which address physiological and genetic characters as well as various metric traits.

Contains fifteen papers which explore the consequences of applying modern time-series methods, particularly co-integrated time-series methods, for the analysis of forest economics problems. This volume includes tests of the Law of One Price, land valuation models, demand and supply models, Granger-causality, and forecast models.

This unique, state-of-the-art review shows that neo-classical economic principles can be integrated with ecosystem analysis and modern econometric methods to uncover the causes and consequences of natural forest disturbances.

Contains chapters, which cover studies of embryo development and cell biology of white spruce, proliferative somatic embryogenesis in woody species, somatic embryo germination and desiccation tolerance in conifers, performance of conifer somatic seedlings, and apoptosis during early somatic embryogenesis.

A number of recent reports on somatic embryogenesis in woody plants such as Norway spruce (Picea abies), Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), Sandalwood (Santalum album), Citrus and mango (Mangifera indica), offer a ray of hope for inexpensive clonal propagation for large-scale production of plants or 'emblings' or somatic seedlings;

Selected Papers from the International Symposium of the Foresea Miyazaki 1998

Proceedings of the International Workshop on Professional Education and Training held at the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA, December 5-8, 1988

This is a concise and comprehensive review of the biology, ecology, and management of Norway spruce. The huge range of topics covered includes the species' morphology, its physiology and nutrition, and its ecology.

Almost half of all life on earth may exist in the world's forest canopies. It represents a major summary of the current understanding of canopy ecology, and maps a path forward into a greater understanding of tropical forest ecology and management at a time when the very future of this ecosystem is threatened by humanity's actions.

This was happening not because foresters do not know how to manage forests in a reasonable manner, but because the public seemed to be loosing faith in the judgement of foresters as professional, responsible, wise land managers.

This is a concise and comprehensive review of the biology, ecology, and management of Norway spruce. The huge range of topics covered includes the species' morphology, its physiology and nutrition, and its ecology.

The influence of the forest on operations is described at length, the terrain, topography, forest soils as well as the engineering characteristics of trees and forest stands.

It is our conviction - based on many years of teaching and practical experience - that professional skill in forestry will develop more rea dily and more efficiently if forestry students are presented with a clear understanding, at an early stage, of the impact of the physical factors that both enhance and inhibit forestry activities.

Since the first edition of our book "Tissue Culture in Fores try" in 1982 we have witnessed remarkable advances in cell and tissue culture technologies with woody perennials.

Contains chapters focusing on the decision points faced by quantitative geneticists and breeders in designing programs and analyzing data. This handbook was designed as a tool for forest geneticists, tree breeders and other tree improvement personnel, as well as a textbook for university courses at the graduate level in quantitative genetics.

Monitoring of forest condition at the national level started in Finland in 1985 in accordance with the methodology drawn up by the International Co-operative Programme on Assessments and Monitoring of Air Pollution Effects on Forests (ICP Forests, UN/ECE).

In an lUlffianaged woodland, forest development follows a succession of periods of undisturbed natural growth, interrupted by intermediate loss or damage of trees caused by fire or wind or other natural hazards.

Bioenergy from Sustainable Forestry synthesizes information needed to design or implement sustainable forest management systems for production of biomass for energy in conjunction with other forest products.

Woody plants provide many challenges to the tissue culturist. Consequently, they often do not pay sufficient attention to the problems that specifically apply to in vitro culture of tree species. Culture of the latter often poses problems which are either absent or of lesser significance when culturing herbacious species.

Almost half of all life on earth may exist in the world's forest canopies. It represents a major summary of the current understanding of canopy ecology, and maps a path forward into a greater understanding of tropical forest ecology and management at a time when the very future of this ecosystem is threatened by humanity's actions.

In 1996 a major six-year research programme, 'Economic Optimisation of Multiple-Use Forestry and Other Natural Resources' was implemented at Department of Economics and Natural Resources, The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University (KVL), Copenhagen.
