Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the problems encountered during the reforestation efforts following World War 1. The author, an expert in forestry, highlights the extensive clear-cutting of British woodlands during the war, and the need to balance re-investment with economic forestry. The book emphasizes the importance of selecting the right tree species for reforestation, based on factors such as soil conditions and exposure to wind. It advocates for the use of non-native species such as Douglas fir, Sitka spruce, and Japanese larch due to their fast growth rates and high timber quality. The author also discusses the challenges of managing mixed plantations and the importance of thinning to optimize tree growth and timber yield. The book provides valuable insights into the complexities of reforestation, offering practical guidance and challenging conventional wisdom. It is a must-read for foresters, landowners, and anyone interested in the sustainable management of woodlands.
