Forestry and silviculture

Northerly locations were desperately sought out after more accessible land further south was taken up.

Ken Drushka analyses the changes in human attitudes towards the forests, detailing the rise of the late nineteenth-century conservation movement and its subsequent decline after World War I, the interplay between industry and government in the development of policy, the adoption of sustained yield policies after World War II, and the recent adoption of sustainable forest management in response to environmental concerns.

Focusing on the transition from the production of squared timber to that of milled lumber and, finally, wood pulp, Gaudreau traces the constant depletion of the resource and the companies' resulting, inexorable push westward from Quebec into Ontario - an economic migration that led to the establishment of significant francophone communities across northern Ontario.

Patricia Marchak examines issues particular to the northern and southern regions and the global effects of trends in each region, using British Columbia, Brazil, Chile, Indonesia, and Thailand as full case studies and Malaysia, Myanmar, and other south-east Asian regions as shorter case studies.

The settlements, economically based on lumber alone, were locked into poverty and dependency by Anglophone-monopoly control of the spruce forests.

Northerly locations were desperately sought out after more accessible land further south was taken up.

Mobilisation of Forest Bioenergy in the Boreal and Temperate Biomes: Challenges, Opportunities, and Case Studies features input from key international experts who identify and analyze the main opportunities and roadblocks for the implementation of sustainable forest biomass supply chains in the boreal and temperate regions.

Soils for Landscape Development provides a clear, practical and systematic template for specifying landscape soils based on scientific criteria.

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

The Chainsaw Operator's Manual is an essential safety tool for chainsaw operators.

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'.

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.
