Title: The southern forest
First published: 1991
Description: "The Southern Forest: Geography; Ecology; and Silviculture examines in depth the forests of the South, past and present, providing a comprehensive description of the region from which most of the nation's wood for housing and paper will be grown and harvested in the future. Closing the old-growth forests of the Northwest and reduction of harvests in the tropics mean that America's Southland must intensify tree growth to accommodate society's requirements.

This book provides the information necessary for practicing foresters, researchers, and students to increase forest growth dramatically for the many forest types and in the various subregions without detrimentally affecting soil, species diversity, or long-term aesthetics."--BOOK JACKET.
