Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the potential of afforestation in reversing the decrease of arable land and the corresponding increase in pasture land in Great Britain over the last 50 years, particularly on soils that are currently considered unproductive or of low value. The author, who is considered an authority on the subject, discusses the causes of this trend and argues that afforestation could provide a solution to the problem of decreasing arable land while also creating valuable timber resources. The book provides a detailed analysis of the conditions necessary for the successful afforestation of poor-quality land, including climate, soil, and species selection. It also offers practical advice on planting and management techniques and discusses the economic viability of afforestation as a land-use strategy. Ultimately, the book provides valuable insights into the potential of afforestation to improve land use and timber production in Great Britain, offering a timely and relevant perspective on sustainable land management practices.
