• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume provides a silvicultural framework for thinking about the design and practice of agroforestry systems. The Silvicultural Basis for Agroforestry Systems emphasizes research and thoughts from a forestry perspective. The examples used in this reference center on the ecological theory of forests, which concerns plant-plant and plant-animal competition. This guide also uses the knowledge gained about the temporal and spatial dynamic and productivity of forests as the basis for silvicultural applications in agroforestry systems. TOC:Understanding Plant-Environment Interactions: A Basis for Silviculture in Agroforestry Systems.- Pattern and Process of Forests as Templates for Silvicultural Applications in Agroforestry Systems.- Putting The Silvicultural Framework Together For Agroforestry Systems.
