Understanding the complex structure and dynamics of these  mixtures is a necessary step in the process of formulating appropriate  silvicultural systems for their management. David M. Smith, Professor  Emeritus of Silviculture at Yale University, has devoted much of his  career to the study of the structure, development, and silvicultural  treatment of these kinds of stands. This volume is presented by  Professor Smith's collegues to honor the contributions he has made to  the field. It contains both reviews of past work and results of  current studies of mixed stands: topics range from analysis of forest  dynamics in unmanaged stands to studies of silvicultural systems  applied to mixtures, with examples drawn from boreal, temperate, and  tropical regions. Much of the work stresses the importance of  understanding the characteristic growth patterns of individual species  within mixed stands, and how species interactions shape developmental  patterns. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-03-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792316435\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8052-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 287.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541541941388,"sku":"9780792316435","price":251.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792316435.jpg?v=1759286760","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792316435","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
