Product Description

This book presents the state-of-the-art of forest resources assessments and monitoring. It provides links to practical applications of forest and natural resource assessment programs. It offers an overview of current forest inventory systems and discusses forest mensuration, sampling techniques, remote sensing applications, geographic and forest information systems, and multi-resource forest inventory. Attention is also given to the quantification of non-wood goods and services.

Product Description
This book is a collection of current research work on the economic and social impacts of, and policy responses to, global change mainly in the southern United States. This work primarily represents papers presented at the 2007 Southern Forest Economics Workshop in San Antonio, Texas. Several of these papers have been published in journals and are reprinted here with permission. The book covers a variety of changes including climate change, land use change, globalisation, and other forces as they relate to forestry. These papers address broad aspects of impacts and responses, including those of markets, forest resource management, forest landowners, and consumers. Though the book focuses on the southern United States - an important player in the domestic and global forest products markets and forest ecosystems, the issues addressed here well reflect those facing many other parts of the world. Hence, the research approaches and findings presented here have useful implications for forest resource management and forest products markets beyond the region. ... Read more

Product Description

Genetic engineering is a powerful tool for crop improvement. The status of crop biotechnology before 2001 was reviewed in Transgenic Crops I-III, but recent advances in plant cell and molecular biology have prompted the need for new volumes. Following Transgenic Crops IV (2007) on cereals, vegetables, root crops, herbs, and spices, and Transgenic Crops V (2007) on fruits, trees, and beverage crops, this volume, Transgenic Crops VI, contains the following sections: Oils and Fibers, Medicinal Crops, Ornamental Crops, Forages and Grains, Regulatory and Intellectual Property of Genetically Manipulated Plants. It is an invaluable reference for plant breeders, researchers and graduate students in the fields of plant biotechnology, agronomy, horticulture, forestry, genetics, and both plant cell and molecular biology.

wow..
talk about a total technical deep dive.admittedly, i can only do about 5 pages before i start to doze off...but that is my brain not being able to keep up.

Best "under the hood" book available for AD
This is great book containing a lot of very useful detail information about Active Directory, which is otherwise rather hard to find.The examples are real-world type of examples - the authors don't simply repeat other tech-information, but put it into context allowing the reader to really use the features of AD for their environment.I found, that the book is also very up to date containing a lot of good information about the changes of AD and the respective tools in Windows Server 2003. This is not a beginners book - I'd suggest it for the experienced, who wants to dig down even deeper.

Paid for itself already...
I thought the price of $... was a little steep, but it turns out to be the best insurance policy I ever purchased.Last week I was in hot water with my boss when we couldn't figure out what was going on with the visibility/searchability of some key objects in the directory.I turned to this book and found an answer in about 5 minutes (after spending almost 4 hours battling with microsoft premier support to no avail...)

I would reccomend this highly to anyone who works closely with AD - development, architecture, or operations.It is the only book of its kind, and believe me... when you really NEED to know, you will be glad you have it. ... Read more

Product Description
The book deals quantitatively with the generation, dispersion,and deposition of pesticide droplets on vegetation and with off-targetdrift of undeposited droplets. A computer simulation model forcalculating dispersion, deposition, and drift is described withcomparisons between calculated results and field measurement results.The model includes the effects of aircraft vortex, atmosphericturbulence, droplet evaporation, and droplet deposition on foliage.Model output includes values of droplet deposit density and size onfoliage and ground as well as droplet concentration and size in thedrift cloud. In addition, a detailed description of droplet atomizercharacterization methods is presented along with a large number ofatomizer spectrum results for atomizers in current use. An analysis ofa number of forestry spraying innovations is presented. This text is an essential tool in assessing the efficacy andenvironmental impact of proposed and actual forest spray operations. ... Read more

"Forestry Pesticide Aerial Spraying" is a book that shows that the science and technology of aerial spraying is still evolving.

This is a great book on aerial spraying due to the lack of basic literature on the state of the art.It presents the current state of the art and some of the problems (like inaccurate sizing methods in wind tunnels).

Obvious from this book is that aerial spraying has moved beyond basic fluid mechanics into the information age.Discusses the auditing capabilities with GPS.Much of the emphasis remains on nozzels and dispersion modeling, but the uniqueness of forestry stands in this arena are well discussed.

This is the sort of book that should be read by anyone that wants to understand the design problems of aerial spray systems and the operational consiquences. ... Read more

Product Description
Forests and woodlands have considerable potential for increasing their wildlife habitat value and it is now increasingly appreciated that this is compatible with commercial timber production. This book explores the joint theme of management for production and wildlife enhancement. It is based both upon personal observations and an exhaustive summary of the relevant published literature, much of it not drawn together before and encompassing data from the UK, Europe, North America, China and Russia. The first half of the book looks at the evolution and management of forests, and provides comprehensive guidelines for combining the aims of conservation and production. The second part describes plants, mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, insects and invertebrates by species, considering their individual habitats, their distribution, and measures for their conservation. An extensive bibliography is included. It is both an invaluable reference source and guide which is suitable for a wide range of readers from professional and student foresters, to lecturers, farmers, ecologists, environmentalists, nature conservationists and amateur managers of small woodlands. ...
