Plantation Silviculture in Europe


Overview

This volume provides a succinct overview of current European plantation forestry practices. Recognizing that plantation silviculture today is no longer largely a question of how to grow large-scale industrial plantations, the authors have included chapters describing other, more diverse reasons for establishing trees. Forestry practices are set in the context of the science behind them and their environmental, social and policy frameworks.
