Este volumen recoge descripciones de más de 100 especies de árboles y arbustos de todas partes del mundo. Al mismo tiempo, explora su utilidad como recurso renovable, apreciado por la facilidad con la que se trabaja, por su resistencia, su versatilidad y, sobre todo, por su belleza.Los rasgos fisicos de los diferentes tipos de madera subyacen bajo sus caracteristicas estructurales, mientras que sus propiedades mecanicas y su disponibilidad han convertido a la madera en el material idoneo para la construccion de todo tipo de productos, incluyendo estructuras, mobiliario, herramientas, vehiculos y elementos decorativos.En gran parte, la elaboracion de este libro ha sido posible gracias a la generosa colaboracion del fundador de la Xiloteca Manuel Soler, situado en Denia (España). Con mas de 4.000 muestras de maderas de todo el mundo, la Xiloteca Manuel Soler es una de las mayores colecciones de madera de Europa.

This book describes the scientific principles that are used throughout the world to ensure the rapid, healthy growth of forest plantations. As the population of the world increases so does the amount of wood people use. Large areas of natural forests are being cleared every year and converted to other uses. Almost as large an area of plantation forests is being established annually to replace those lost natural forests. Eventually, plantations will produce a large proportion of the wood used around the world for firewood, building, the manufacture of paper and bioenergy.Forest plantations can also provide various environmental benefits including carbon storage, rehabilitation of degraded land, serving as disposal sites for various forms of industrial or agricultural waste and enhancing biodiversity in regions that have been largely cleared for agriculture. Whatever their motivation, plantation forest growers want their plantations to be healthy and grow rapidly to achieve their purpose as soon as possible. This book discusses how this is done. It is written for a worldwide audience, from forestry professionals and scientists through to small plantation growers, and describes how plantations may be grown responsibly and profitably.

The Third Edition is approximately 45 pages longer with updated forestry and ecology material including updated figures and tables. Discounts are available for quantities of 10 or more.In 2013 Forestry Press, Inc. discovered that once again the inventory for the Second Edition was depleted with 7,000 copies being sold since 2000. Forestry Press entered into an agreement with Thom McEvoy to produce an updated Third Edition. This Third Edition has doubled in the number of pages since the Second Edition with text and figures reflecting changes and updates in forest ecology and silviculture since 2000. The Third Edition has been modified to approach forest ecology and silviculture from a national coterminous perspective rather than from a concentration on the Northeast region of the United States.It is with pride that we publish the Third Edition of Introduction to Forest Ecology and Silviculture. We feel that the Third Edition will be another valuable winner in Forestry Presss catalog of premium products for the person involved with forestry, trees and the woodlands. We hope this Edition meets your highest expectations and welcome all comments and suggestions for future Editions.
