The Woody Plant Seed Manual Part I
Author: Franklin T. BonnerPublisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1329126734
Category : House & Home
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
The first comprehensive handbook on the seeds of trees and shrubs produced by the USDA Forest Service was USDA Misc. Pub. 654, Woody-Plant Seed Manual. The manuscript was ready for publication in 1941, but World War II delayed publication until 1948. The boom in tree planting in the 1950s and 1960s created a large demand for seeds and exposed the gaps in our knowledge concerning production and quality of seeds of woody plants in general. The 1974 Handbook proved to be very popular both in this country and abroad, leading to five printings and translations in several other languages. More than a quarter-century after its publication, however, numerous advances in tree seed technology have dictated that a new revision is needed; the result is the current volume. Part I contains information on how to get seeds and raise seedlings. Get Your Copy Now.

Diameter-density Relationships Provide Tentative Spacing Guidelines for Eucalyptus Saligna in Hawaii
Author: Dean S. DeBellPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Eucalyptus saligna
Languages : en
Pages : 4
Book Description
Trials have been established in Hawaii to develop spacing guidelines for Eucalyptus saligna plantations. Substantial competition-related mortalicy occurred in densely planted plots of three spacing trials. Data on stand diameter and surviving number of trees on these plots were plotted in logarithmic form to estimate a "self-thinning" or maximum diameter-stand density line. An "operating" maximum line was defined-one representing 70 percent of the total number of trees that could reach any given mean diameter if the stand were allowed to reach the "self-thinning" level. This information provides a guide to the number of E. saligna trees to plant per hectare for selected target diameters at harvest.

Plant User Handbook
Author: James HitchmoughPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1405173092
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
Professional landscapers and all those involved in creating green spaces have long been in need of a book that is a guide to plant specification, but also makes sense of plants and their cultivation. Plant User Handbook is for practitioners who are professionally engaged in the use of plants in public, commercial and institutional landscapes. Planting schemes are undertaken on the basis of a binding contract – generally between the client (who owns or leases the landscape) and the implementer (the landscape contractor), with the designer acting both as specifier and contract administrator. Within this contractual relationship, planting schemes must be implemented to an agreed timetable. To manage this procedure efficiently, landscape designers and managers need quick access to the factual and scientific background for practical planting design and its implementation through specification writing and contracts. The book covers over 20 well defined topics, and is written by leading experts in the industry. It is arranged into five sections: Preliminaries to plant use and the landscape Managing plant growth on landscape sites Establishment and management of trees Establishment and management of smaller woody plants Establishment and management of herbaceous plants Carefully illustrated with diagrams, black and white photographs and colour plates, this handbook provides a unique resource for professionals wanting to improve their specification skills, as well as to explore creative approaches to design and practical implementation.
