Coles Geographic Variation Forest Trees: Genetic Basis and Application of Knowledge Silviculture at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Geographic variation within tree species is one of the basic issues
facing foresters, biologists, and others who work with trees. Genetic
differences among and within populations of these trees become
important considerations when forests are regenerated artificially by
seeding and planting, and when new species are introduced in forestry,
agroforestry, or for ornamental and landscape purposes.
Geographic Variation in Forest Trees is the first book to
examine this subject from a world-wide perspective. Following a
historical review, the author discusses population genetic theory and
genetic systems of native North American tree species as they interact
with environments in the major climatic regions in the world. He then
demonstrates how this knowledge is used to guide seed zoning and seed
transfer in silviculture, basing much of his discussion on models
developed in Scandinavia and North America. In the final chapter, the
author addresses the issue of genetic conservation -- a subject of
great concern in the face of accelerated forest destruction, industrial
pollution, and climatic change.
This comprehensive, well-researched book makes a significant
contribution to the knowledge of one of our most important renewable
natural resources.
