Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of coniferous plantations in the Eli Whitney forest, created by the Yale School of Forestry in 1901. Plantations were established to reforest areas that had been abandoned due to changes in the agricultural industry. The author provides a detailed account of the methods used to establish and manage these plantations, including species selection, planting methods, spacing, and thinning. For each of the species discussed, the author provides tree development timelines based on regular measurements taken as the trees matured. The author examines the natural cycle of development in the planted forest, from canopy creation and death of lower branches to live-crown ratios and diameter growth. The author concludes that differentiation of crown classes, a measure of the degree to which some trees dominate others, is important for maximizing plantation yield and quality. The book presents valuable insights for foresters and landowners interested in conifer plantations.
