The Silvicultural Basis For Agroforestry Systems

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Unlike many general agroforestry books, The Silvicultural Basis for Agroforestry Systems emphasizes research and thoughts from a forestry perspective rather than an agricultural one. Many of the examples used in this reference are based on the ecological theory of forests that concern the competition for resources of plant-plant and plant-animal mixtures. This guide also uses the knowledge gained about the temporal and spatial dynamic and productivity of forests as the basis for silvicultural applications in agroforestry systems. It provides a protocol for thinking about appropriate silvicultural systems for the particular agroforestry desired.
