- Summary
- This volume is focused on the young tree, from the vulnerable newly-germinated seedling to the well-established plant, and on the factors affecting the high mortality during this stage in tree development. The volume brings together findings of key research scientists into seedling establishment and environmental requirements in many different forest situations. Commercial and native forest species are examined from different forest types and from different countries. Addressed are such issues as the demography, morphology and physiology of seedlings and their responses to the availability of resources, notably light, nutrient and water. The audience for this book will include foresters, ecologists and resource managers who are interested in the structure, functioning and regeneration of tropical forests. The editor is a researcher at Aberdeen University and contributors come from research and forestry backgrounds from around the world.
