Forestry and silviculture

Across Australia, woodlands are increasingly being planted on formerly cleared or semi-cleared land.

Project Vesta was a comprehensive research project to investigate the behaviour and spread of high-intensity bushfires in dry eucalypt forests with different fuel ages and understorey vegetation structures.

An effective response to bushfires relies on accurate predictions of fire behaviour, particularly the rate of spread, intensity and 'spotting'.

This book was written to help the forest industry assess wood quality by using non-destructive samples taken from specific points within a tree.

Forest management must be sustainable not only in ecological, economic and social, but also genetic terms.

This classic forest management text examines the ecology and silviculture of eucalypts in forests and plantations in Australia and overseas.

This book provides the information that will allow users to recover salt-degraded land with selected plantation timbers and ultimately to make a profit.

The Tree Faller's Manual is an essential handbook for forest operators and others who need to fell trees manually using a hand-held chainsaw.

This book provides architects, engineers, builders, foresters, members of the pest control and timber industries, and the general public with a ready source of reference to the more important wood borers and termites encountered in Australia.

This book summarises the main discoveries, management insights and policy initiatives in the science, management and policy arenas associated with temperate woodlands in Australia.

Forest Pattern and Ecological Process is a major synthesis of 25 years of intensive research about the montane ash forests of Victoria, which support the world's tallest flowering plants and several of Australia's most high profile threatened and/or endangered species.

Australia’s experience in community-based environmental repair is unique in the world, with no shortage of analysis by bureaucrats, academics and environmentalists.

There is no question that the timber industry needs to adopt sustainable practices that ensure a future for the industry.

Experimental Design and Analysis for Tree Improvement provides a set of practical procedures to follow when planning, designing and analysing tree improvement trials.

Over the last fifty years, there has been an increasing recognition that eucalypts are vulnerable to a wide range of diseases.
