Much of the world's forested land is dominated by mixed-species
stands. Understanding the complex structure and dynamics of these
mixtures is a necessary step in the process of formulating
appropriate silvicultural systems for their management. David M.
Smith, Professor Emeritus of Silviculture at Yale University, has
devoted much of his career to the study of the structure,
development, and silvicultural treatment of these kinds of stands.
This volume is presented by Professor Smith's collegues to honor
the contributions he has made to the field. It contains both
reviews of past work and results of current studies of mixed
stands: topics range from analysis of forest dynamics in unmanaged
stands to studies of silvicultural systems applied to mixtures,
with examples drawn from boreal, temperate, and tropical regions.
Much of the work stresses the importance of understanding the
characteristic growth patterns of individual species within mixed
stands, and how species interactions shape developmental patterns.
