New Forests
Author: I. S. Ferguson
Publisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING
ISBN: 0643069402
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
There is no question that the timber industry needs to adopt sustainable practices that ensure a future for the industry. This book goes well beyond simply growing commercial tree plantations for wood production. It explores new forests that can supply environmental services such as salinity mitigation and carbon sequestration together with commercial wood production in an environment beyond the boundaries of traditional forestry. New Forests targets agricultural landscapes affected by salinity and which generally have rainfall less than 650 mm per year. The book addresses vital issues such as where tree planting might best be pursued, what species and technologies should be used for establishment and later management, how productivity can be improved, what mix of environmental services and commercial goods is optimum, and whether the likely net benefits justify the change in land use and requisite investment. While the book is focussed on the low-rainfall, agricultural, inland zone of the Murray-Darling Basin wherever possible the scope of most chapters has been expanded to synthesise generic information applicable to other regions in Australia and elsewhere. The authors provide a comprehensive account of all the issues relevant to the development of these new forests, covering soils, the bio-physical environment, water use and irrigation strategies - including the use of wastewater, silviculture, pests and diseases, wood quality and products, and economics and policy implications.

Forest Insects of Australia (Classic Reprint)
Author: Walter W. Froggatt
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780259931171
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Excerpt from Forest Insects of Australia AS a worker in the field of Entomology, Mr. Walter W. Froggatt needs no introduction and his compilation of this little volume on the Forest Insects of Australia is not the least valuable of his contributions to Science during the past thirty years. Ithis work will be found a fund of information regarding white ants, timber borers, and forest insect pests, which is of both practical and scientific value, and embodying, as it does, the results of many years' careful investigation, it may be accepted as a text and reference book of value by those interested in Forestry, Architecture, or industries in' which wood as a material is employed. The extent of injury done to timber by insect pests is hardly realised, and if the economic loss could be estimated, it would arouse the public mind from its apathy in regard to both the introduction of borer and other pests from abroad, and to the urgent need for protective and remedial measures. The matter is one which demands the serious attention of our legislators, and, in writing this introduction, it is in the hope that this publication may serve to throw light upon it, and to materially assist in its better consideration.
