Download or read book Cultural Procedures for Propagation of Rooted Cuttings of Sitka Spruce Western Hemlock and Douglas fir in British Columbia written by Bevin G. Wigmore and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of rooted cuttings is explored as a means of bulking-up genetically improved families of Sitka spruce, western hemlock, and Douglas-fir for reforestation. The number of propagules produced from a small quantity of seed can be multiplied by taking cuttings from seedling stock plants. All methods are developed for 1-year-old cutting production in containers for consistency with most operational seedling production in British Columbia. This report describes cultural techniques for growing stock plants and rooted cuttings of Sitka spruce, western hemlock, and Douglas-fir, based on 3 years of nursery research and observations. It is concluded that 1-year container cut-ting production is technically feasible for Sitka spruce and western hemlock, but plagiotropism problems could not be overcome for the production of 1-year-old cuttings of Douglas-fir. A discussion of plagiotropism is included.

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication comprises the proceedings of the first International Conference devoted to the structural roots of trees and woody plants. 'The Supporting Roots - Structure and Function,' 20-24 July 1998, Bordeaux, France. The meeting was held under the auspices ofIUFRO WPS 2. 01. 13 'Root Physiology and Symbiosis,' and its aim was to bring together scientific researchers, foresters and arboriculturalists, to discuss current problems in structural root research and disseminate knowledge to an audience from a wide disciplinary background. For the first time in an international conference, emphasis was placed on presenting recent reseach in the field of tree anchorage mechanics and root biomechanics. The way in which tree stability can be affected by root system symmetry and architecture was addressed, as well as how movement during wind sway can influence the development and shape of woody roots. The role of different nursery and planting techniques was discussed, in relation to effects on root system form and development. Root response to different environmental stresses, including water, temperature, nutrient and mechanical stress was addressed in detail. The structure and function of woody roots was also considered at different levels, from coarse to fine roots, with several papers discussing the interaction between roots and the rhizosphere. One of the conference highlights was the presentation of new methods in root research, by a series of workshops held at LRBB-INRA, Pierroton, on the northern border of the Gascony forest.

Download or read book Non wood Forest Products from Conifers written by William M. Ciesla and published by Fao. This book was released on 1998 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this paper is to provide a global review of the non-wood uses of conifers. For the purposes of this paper, conifers are defined as trees and shrubs of the botanical orders Coniferales, Taxales and Ginkgoales (Rushforth 1987). Although some services are briefly mentioned, the focus of this paper is on products which conifers provide species, which are important sources of non-wood forest products, and places where these products are harvested. With the exception of essential oils, which can be obtained from several parts of the tree, the products described are organized by the part of the tree from which they are obtained (e.g. foliage, bark and roots, resin, seeds and cones). Where possible, data on levels of production and international trade are presented. Problems associated with the sustainable management of these products and compatibility or conflicts with other land uses are also presented. Both contemporary and historical or traditional uses of non-wood products from conifers are discussed.
