New Advances and Contributions to Forestry Research
New Advances and Contributions to Forestry Research consists of
14 chapters divided into three sections and is authored by 48
researchers from 16 countries and all five continents. Section Whither
the Use of Forest Resources, authored by 16 researchers, describes
negative and positive practices in forestry. Forest is a complex habitat
for man, animals, insects and micro-organisms and their activities may
impact positively or negatively on the forest. This complex relationship
is explained in the section Forest and Organisms Interactions,
consisting of contributions made by six researchers. Development of tree
plantations has been man’s response to forest degradation and
deforestation caused by human, animals and natural disasters.
Plantations of beech, spruce, Eucalyptus and other species are described
in the last section, Amelioration of Dwindling Forest Resources Through
Plantation Development, a section consisting of five papers authored by
20 researchers. New Advances and Contributions to Forestry Research
will appeal to forest scientists, researchers and allied professionals.
It will be of interest to those who care about forest and who subscribe
to the adage that the last tree dies with the last man on our planet. I
recommend it to you; enjoy reading it, save the forest and save life!
