Book Description
Excerpt from Publications of the Southeastern Forest Experiment Station, 1921-1958 This booklet contains an alphabetical list of some 1, 700 research reports put out by staff members of this Station and its cooperators. It represents the product of Federal forest research in the southeast from 1921 through 1958. During the early years, our official name was Appalachian Forest Experiment Station, with a territory consisting of Virginia, West Virginia, North and South Carolina, northern Georgia, eastern Kentucky, and eastern Tennessee. In 1946, the name was changed to Southeastern Forest Experiment Station, and the territory designated as Virginia, North and South Caro lina, Georgia, and Florida. As a result of boundary designations and small staff in the early years, the Appalachian Station worked mainly in studies of southern mountain hardwoods. The Southeastern Station list, which represents later years and an expanded staff, covers many research projects that were carried out also in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain. The particular 37 years included in this list have brought fantastic changes, not only in the forests themselves, but in markets, viewpoints, prices, people. The chestnut has gone. The pulpmills have come. Some lands then remote are now heavily used. Trees that had no market are now valuable. Forest practices considered prohibitively expensive are be coming routine. The best research findings, then new, are now so well known we imagine we always knew them. The list is something of a milestone in Station history and in the gradual building of forestry information for use by owners large and small. I like to think this booklet is a monument to 37 years of work by many men. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
