Softwoods Volume 4: Silviculture and reforestation

Description

Here's the long-awaited 4ᵉ tome in the Les résineux collection!

The book presents the silviculture of this botanical group, or rather silvicultures, as it sets out different management options. It details each stage of the process, obviously taking into account the particular context of today (climate change, health risks, societal demand, etc.). It also devotes a chapter to the major challenges of the future.

This highly illustrated, practical book aims to help foresters manage their coniferous plots as effectively as possible by offering several options. To guide them, the author sets out the advantages and disadvantages of each of them, in addition to detailed technical itineraries. To do this, Philippe Riou-Nivert draws on a wealth of knowledge acquired over decades of observation, experimentation, reading and sharing... And, as usual, with great teaching skills and a highly accessible style!

This book completes the Les résineux collection, which was awarded the Prix Clément Jacquiot 2016 by the Académie d'Agriculture de France. Comprehensive, easy to read and exceptionally rich, this book is essential for all foresters and those interested in softwoods!
