Essentials of Forestry Practice

Principles of forestry are introduced with emphasis on actual field practices, both traditional and modern. The fourth edition includes expanded treatments of small private forest owners, reflecting changing patterns in ownership; more informtion on new advances in timber volumes, growth, cut, and management; updated coverage of forest instruments; and more on pollution damage, reflecting current problems. Each significant field practice is illustrated with photos, drawings, and tables for easier comprehension.

Charles H. Stoddard and Glenn M. Stoddard are the authors of Essentials of Forestry Practice, 4th Edition, published by Wiley.
