J.  aApplications of physiological ecology to forest management.  aSan Diego: Academic Pressc1997  a354 p.  aPhysiological ecology  aForest management is a complex process that now incorporates information obtained from many sources. It is increasingly obvious that the physiological status of the trees in a forest has a dramatic impact on the likely success of any particular management strategy. Indeed, models described in this book that deal with forest productivity and sustainability require physiological information. This information can only be obtained from an understanding of the basic biological mechanisms and processes that contribute to individual tree growth. This valuable book illustrates that physiological ecology is a fundamental element of proficient forest management. Table of contents: Introduction: Forests in the Modern World.
