Applications of Physiological Ecology to Forest Management
By: Landsberg, J. J.; Gower, S. T.; Roy, Jacques
Published by: Academic Press (Elsevier Science & Technology Books)
Forest 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.

Molecular Breeding of Woody Plants
By: Morohoshi, N.; Komamine, A.
Published by: Elsevier Science
At present, plants and agricultural sciences are playing a leading role in providing solutions to problems created by an ever growing world population. Through plant biotechnology scientists are seeking ways to improve crop functions that rapidly promote food production. Agricultural science is being used to experiment with producing plants tolerant to environmental stresses such as drought, salinity and coldness. Of the plant species, woody plants are producing the most abundant biomass resources, playing important roles in the suppression of carbon dioxide increase and supplying huge energy and resources to human beings in the biosphere. These Proceedings discuss the recent results of fundamental and applied research for global resource and energy, biomass production and environmental problems from the aspect of woody science. Topics include:. - Formation of the vascular bundle. - Biosynthesis of cellulose. - Lignin biosynthesis and transgenic woody plants. - Cell and tissue culture, and transformation in gymnosperms. - Micropropagation of woody plants.
