The Silvicultural Manual for the Solomon Islands brings together current research and traditional information on growing trees for timber in the Solomon Islands, and provides a basic guide to sound silvicultural practice for the establishment and care of plantations.
Detailed accounts of the background and silviculture of the fourteen most important plantation species are included in the manual together with reviews of current management practice and comprehensive bibliography covering relevant publications.
Silvicultural Manual for the Solomon Islands will be of special interest to foresters in the Solomon Islands and surrounding areas as well as providing useful information for plantation establishment programmes in many developing countries.
