Edlin, B.Sc., Dip.For. Forestry Commission LONDON: HER MAJESTY’S STATIONERY OFFICE 1964 First published 1933 Eighth Edition 1964 © Crown copyright 1964 Published by H er M ajesty’s Stationery O ffice To be purchased from York House, Kings way, Londonw.c.2 423 Oxford Street, London w.l 13a Castle Street, Edinburgh 2 109 St. Mary Street, Cardiff 39 King Street, Manchester 2 50 Fairfax Street, Bristol 1 35 Smallbrook, Ringway, Birmingham 5 80 Chichester Street, Belfast 1 or through any bookseller Printed in England for Her Majesty’s Stationery Office by James Townsend & Sons, Ltd., Exeter. FOREWORD T his Bulletin was originally conceived in 1933 by the late Sir Francis Acland, who was then a Forestry Commissioner, with the object of making available to landowners and others concerned with private estates, the experience and knowledge gained by the Commission’s staff. It does not purport to be a formal textbook covering the whole science of forestry, but rather a handbook of those operations that the aveiage landowner, his agent, or his forester, have to tackle most frequently. As Acland pointed out, no printed account can provide a complete substitute for the information and advice that an owner may gain from an actual inspection of his woods by a professional consultant or by one of the Commission’s staff concerned with advisory work. But much useful knowledge, and a host of facts required for reference, can be set down in print. Over the past thirty years, seven editions of this Bulletin have been issued, and the necessity for a full revision, to take account of the many recent developments, had become apparent. This work was entrusted, in 1963, to a group of experienced Forestry Commission officers who augmented their own experience and knowledge with that held by other members of the Commission’s staff. This present edition is, therefore, very much the outcome of team work, though certain people have been mainly responsible for particular sections. Mr. J. R. Aldous is the principal author of Part I, which deals with Nursery Work; he was assisted by Mr. J. Atterson. Mr. R. F. Wood is responsible for the revision of Chapters 8 to 12, on the Establishment of Plantations. Chapter 13, on Thinning, was overhauled by Mr. D. R. Johnston and Mr. J. W. L. Zehetmayr. Dr. D. H. Phillips saw to Chapter 14, on Diseases, Mr. D. Bevan to Chap­ ter 15, on Insects, and Mr. C. A. Connell to Chapter 16 on Fire Protection. Chapters 17 to 19, on Utilisation, have been revised by Mr. E. G. Richards, while the notes on forest tools in Chapter 20 were contributed by Mr. J. W. L. Zehetmayr.

The development objective of the pre-project PPD I 9199 Rev. , (F); "Strengthening Sustainable Management of Natural Forest in Asia-Pacific" is to promote the contribution of forest harvesting to sustainable management of tropical forest in Asia-Pacific countries. It is expected that after the pre-project completion the awareness of improves forest harvesting practices will have been significantly raised and political support for the implementation of the Code secured. To implement a comprehensive training programme and to operationalize demonstration sites for RIL implementation there is a need to understand the status of forest management particularly state of the art on forest harvesting in each Asia Pacific country.

    Pseudotsuga Menziesii)

    120 - PART 1. CONSENSUS DOCUMENTS ON BIOLOGY OF TREES Section 4. Douglas-Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) 1. Taxonomy Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirbel) Franco is generally called Douglas-fir (so spelled to maintain its distinction from true firs, the genus Abies). Pseudotsuga Carrière is in the kingdom Plantae, division Pinophyta (traditionally Coniferophyta), class Pinopsida, order Pinales (conifers), and family Pinaceae. The genus Pseudotsuga is most closely related to Larix (larches), as indicated in particular by cone morphology and nuclear, mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA phylogenies (Silen 1978; Wang et al. 2000); both genera also have non-saccate pollen (Owens et al. 1981, 1994). Based on a molecular clock analysis, Larix and Pseudotsuga are estimated to have diverged more than 65 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous to Paleocene (Wang et al. 2000). The earliest known fossil of Pseudotsuga dates from 32 Mya in the Early Oligocene (Schorn and Thompson 1998). Pseudostuga is generally considered to comprise two species native to North America, the widespread Pseudostuga menziesii and the southwestern California endemic P. macrocarpa (Vasey) Mayr (bigcone Douglas-fir), and in eastern Asia comprises three or fewer endemic species in China (Fu et al. 1999) and another in Japan. The taxonomy within the genus is not yet settled, and more species have been described (Farjon 1990). All reported taxa except P. menziesii have a karyotype of 2n = 24, the usual diploid number of chromosomes in Pinaceae, whereas the P. menziesii karyotype is unique with 2n = 26. The two North American species are vegetatively rather similar, but differ markedly in the size of their seeds and seed cones, the latter 4-10 cm long for P.

Root rot in north-temperate forest stands: biology, management and communities of associated fungi. Doctor’s dissertation. ISSN 1652-6880, ISBN 91-576-7003-X The aim of the present thesis was to study the biology and to evaluate possible means of silvicultural control of tree root pathogens Heterobasidion spp., Armillaria spp. and Rhizina undulata. First investigated option was the prevention of Heterobasidion spp. by establishing mixed coniferous-deciduous tree plantations, which would allow thinning delay and thus the absence of stumps that are main infection courts for the pathogen. Results showed that full prevention can be achieved, and that mixed stands also produced a better yield than pure plantations. During the second experiment it was demonstrated that the treatment of stumps with biological (Rotstop) and chemical (urea) control agents can also effectively prevent the Heterobasidion infections, and that the biological control is more environmentally friendly than the chemical. Furthermore, the prevention of loss in forest areas that already were heavily infested by Heterobasidion spp. was investigated. It was shown that in such areas the pathogen persists in root systems of killed trees for decades and readily attacks replanted deciduous trees, e.g. birch. Despite that, the results indicated clearly that the loss could be minimised by replanting the infested sites with more resistant tree species.
