Choice of Species (Development Paper No. 13)
This section of the World Forest Planting Manual deals with the factors which should guide the choice of tree species for planting on various sites. FAO has consulted the experience of experts in many parts of the world in this outline of the principles governing the successful establishment of forest plantations. A number of examples are included of the results of the introduction of certain species on specific sites.
Tropical Silviculture (in three volumes)
Volume I contains a general study of Tropical Silviculture which was begun following the successful sessions of the Tropical Silviculture Section of the Fourth World Forestry Congress at Dehra Dun in 1954. The extensive research of literature undertaken for this study was based on the papers which were invited for that session, according to outlines prepared by the FAO Forestry Division. The papers themselves are contained in Volumes II and III, and are reproduced in the original languages only.
