5.0 out of 5 stars
A bible for university students of forestry,
By
This review is from: The Practice of Silviculture: Applied Forest Ecology, 9th Edition (Paperback)
It is a very complete book with good explanations. However, it is written with very specialised vocabulary and looks like it has been written for university students. I would not recommend it as your first book on silviculture.
