Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive account of the work conducted by the Division of Forestry as part of the United States Department of Agriculture. It covers the period from 1881 to 1898, during which the author, Bernard E. Fernow, served as the division's chief. Fernow himself provides an insightful foreword detailing the division's accomplishments, as well as its future goals and ambitions within the realm of forestry in the US. The contents of this book cover a wide range of topics relevant to forestry, including: - The establishment and management of timberlands - The use of forest resources - The importance of preserving forests - Research into the properties of different types of wood Of particular note is the work the division undertook in timber physics, which aimed to identify the relationship between the mechanical properties of timber and its structure and physical condition. The division also investigated the influence of tapping for turpentine on the quality of longleaf pine, and conducted research into the use of different tree species for planting in the prairies. Ultimately, the work of the Division of Forestry, as outlined in this book, was instrumental in establishing forestry as a recognized field of study and practice in the United States, with the division itself playing a leading role in shaping the nation's approach to forest management and conservation.
