Generated by a series of workshops that culminated in a September 1991 conference in Uppsala, Sweden, 11 reports describe specific aspects of the biological processes of trees and of their interactions with the environment, as an aid to developing a forestry production system based on short rotation, such as the annual cutting of poplar or willow, or even 20-year cycles of southern pines. Among the topics are nutrition dynamics, root systems, pests, coppicing sustainability, and genetic improvement. No index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
