Biomass Production by Fast-Growing Trees
ISBN: 9780792302087 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Even though most of the biomass of the planet is in forests, we live in a world where wood as a raw material and its products are increasingly scarce. This is particularly so in important areas such as the European Community, which is far from self-sufficient in terms of wood. In recent years the need to intensify forest production and, in some cases, to uti lize abandoned agricultural land for forestry has focussed world-wide attention on the economic importance of fast-growing tree plantations. These are usually managed as short "rotations" (growing cycles) of less than 15 years, often for...

Predicting Breeding Values with Applications in Forest Tree Improvement
ISBN: 9780792304609 / Angielski / Twarda / 367 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In most breeding programs of plant and animal species, genetic data (such as data from field progeny tests) are used to rank parents and help choose candidates for selection. In general, all selection processes first rank the candidates using some function of the observed data and then choose as the selected portion those candidates with the largest (or smallest) values of that function. To make maximum progress from selection, it is necessary to use a function of the data that results in the candidates being ranked as closely as possible to the true (but always unknown) ranking. Very often...

Management of Nutrition in Forests Under Stress: Proceedings of the International Symposium, Sponsored by the International Union of Forest Research O
ISBN: 9780792312468 / Angielski / Twarda / 676 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the 1970s and 1980s, Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis, Bong. Carr. ) was planted extensively on northern Vancouver Island (B. C., Canada) to regenerate slashburned clearcuts previously occupied by old-growth Thuja p1icata, Donn, Tsuga heterophy11a, Raf. Sarg., and an ericaceous unders tory shrub salal (Gaul ther ia sha11on, Pursh CH sites 1 ) . The planted Sitka spruce grew well initially on these sites, but experienced nutritional stress and reduced growth 8 to 14 yr after planting (Germain, 1985; Weetman et a1., 1990a, b). Accompanying the onset of the nutritional stress was the...

In Vitro Culture of Trees
ISBN: 9780792315407 / Angielski / Twarda / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Woody plants provide many challenges to the tissue culturist. Although there are many excellent tissue culture books and manuals available, these are generally strongly biased towards herbacious crops. Consequently, they often do not pay sufficient attention to the problems that specifically apply to in vitro culture of tree species. Culture of the latter often poses problems which are either absent or of lesser significance when culturing herbacious species.
When trees in the field are used as explant source, the problems can be especially severe. For example, the... Woody plants provide many challenges to the tissue culturist. Although there are many excellent tissue culture books and manuals available, these are ...

Population Genetics of Forest Trees: Proceedings of the International Symposium on Population Genetics of Forest Trees Corvallis, Oregon, U.S.A., July
ISBN: 9780792318576 / Angielski / Twarda / 423 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Tropical climates, which occur between 2330'N and S latitude (Jacob 1988), encompass a wide variety of plant communities (Hartshorn 1983, 1988), many of which are diverse in their woody floras. Within this geographic region, temperature and the amount and seasonality of rainfall define habitat types (UNESCO 1978). The F AO has estimated that there 1 are about 19 million km of potentially forested area in the global tropics, of which 58% were estimated to still be in closed forest in the mid-1970s (Sommers 1976; UNESCO 1978). Of this potentially forested region, 42% is categorized as dry...
