Excerpt from The Practice of Silviculture

The Practice of Silviculture has been prepared for use as a text book to cover a field at present unfilled. SO far as is known there is no recent book applicable to the forests Of this continent covering the field Of silviculture. Graves' Principles Of Handling Woodlands, published in 1911, and Schlich's Manual Of Forestry, Vols. I and II, revised in 1895 are practically the only works on the subject in the English language. Government and state publications con tain, in more or less fragmentary form, a large store Of knowledge concerning the practice Of silviculture. Forest Terminology in the Appendix is Copied verbatim from the Journal of Forestry, Vol. XV, 1917, published by the Society Of American Foresters. The author does not claim originality for the greater part of the information. Available sources have been investi gated and a selection and compilation made Of such informa tion as is deemed most useful to-day. Presentation Of the subject is from the standpoint of the teacher and the arrangement and discussion are shaped in a manner which it is believed will be clear to the student.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a practical guide to silviculture, the art of cultivating and managing forests. It is a vital resource for anyone interested in the sustainable management of forest resources, written at a time when silviculture was a relatively new field in North America. The author clearly addresses a need for a comprehensive text on the subject, noting that few existing works cover the specific silvicultural practices relevant to the forests of this continent. The book explores the various methods of forest regeneration, including clearcutting, seed-tree method, shelterwood method, selection method, and coppice methods. The author provides in-depth discussions on each method, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages, as well as their application in different forest types and under varying economic conditions. Beyond regeneration, the book delves into the crucial aspects of intermediate cuttings, which are designed to improve the overall health and productivity of the forest stand. The author emphasizes the importance of protection, covering topics such as fire prevention, insect control, and the impact of grazing. The book's insights are particularly relevant for understanding the historical development of silviculture in North America, offering a valuable perspective on the challenges and opportunities faced by forest managers in the early 20th century. The author's practical approach and detailed explanations make this book an essential resource for anyone seeking to cultivate and manage forests for sustainable yields. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781331522003_0
