British woodlands and forests are often located on sites and in
regions that are marginal for agriculture; many are at high
elevations and exposed, with short growing seasons. Wherever
forests are located, site and climatic conditions must dictate
species choice in forest management. This book provides a detailed
guide to the biological suitability of different sites and soils
for all important native trees and the most extensively used
exotics. Apart from physical difficulties such as steepness and
stoniness, forest soils also frequently have problems associated
with them. They can be waterlogged or drought-prone, suffer from
extremes of acidity or alkalinity, or have compacted layers. The
book provides information on species' suitability for different
purposes. It includes details of species' origin and introduction
(where applicable), as well as their climatic and soil requirements
and other silvicultural characteristics. Information about
provenance, yield and timber is also provided. Fully updated
throughout, this 3rd edition puts more emphasis on species suitable
for changing climatic conditions, with accounts of several species
that may become more prominent in British forests: including
several silver firs, hickories, eucalypts, spruces, poplars and
wingnuts. The book concludes with simple keys for identifying the
trees most likely to be encountered in British forests. It is an
essential resource for students, researchers and forestry
professionals.
