Originally published in 2000, this title is a collection of engaging, nontechnical contributions of scholars, policymakers, and forestry officials providing broad reflections on the agency’s past and future, contemporary perspectives about the use and stewardship of public lands, and insightful analyses about the science involved in the practice of scientific management.

Forest and Shade Trees of Iowa
Author: Peter J. van der Linden
Publisher: University of Iowa Press
ISBN: 158729995X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
Back in print at last in a third edition, the classic Forest and Shade Trees of Iowa now has a wealth of full-color photographs and updated, reorganized information that will please both new and returning readers. Part 1 of this guide focuses on identification, with user-friendly keys to both summer and winter trees and illustrated descriptions of more than one hundred common species. The trees are arranged according to similarities in foliage; each entry includes a large scan of a leafy branch along with two or three smaller photos of buds, flowers, fruits, and winter twigs. The text contains a description of the species, its geographical distribution, and notes on how to distinguish it from similar species. Part 2 is divided into conifers and flowering trees and includes all trees native to Iowa, trees that are widely planted, invasive species, some less commonly planted trees, and tall native shrubs that might be mistaken for trees. The authors provide information about the natural history of individual trees, their ecological requirements, pests and diseases that affect them, and their usefulness for such different purposes as windbreaks, landscaping, wildlife plantings, fuel, lumber, and food. Following these two main parts, three shorter sections describe the planting and care of trees, Iowa’s forest communities, and good places to see trees in the state; a glossary and a bibliography are also included. A complete guide to Iowa’s trees, both native and introduced, full of hundreds of color photos, this new edition of Forest and Shade Trees of Iowa will be immensely useful to arborists, foresters, horticulturists, landscape architects, gardeners, and all Iowans and midwesterners who appreciate the beauty and value of trees and want to learn more about them.

Iowa's Forests, 1999-2003
Author: Usda Forest Service
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780366470501
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
Excerpt from Iowa's Forests, 1999-2003: Part A The demands placed on forest resources will continue to increase, as will biological threats from nonnative plants and insects. The challenge is to maintain Iowa's forests in such a way that they are available for use and enjoyment today and for future generations. Reporting on trends in the condition and status of forest resources is critical in determining whether they are being used or maintained in a sustainable way. The usda Forest Service's Forest Inventory and Analysis program in partnership with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources' Bureau of Forestry inventoried Iowa's forest resources in 1954, 1970, and 1990. Beginning in 1999, annual inventories were conducted such that a portion of field plots was inventoried each year.
