Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rough Draft of a Manual of Indian Sylviculture I must now say a few words regarding the plan and scope of the work. In the present inchoate condition of Indian forestry, the very imperfect knowledge we possess of the habits and requirements of our species in their various surroundings, and the impossibility or impracticability of applying any advanced system of culture in the regeneration and treatment of all but an infinitesimal portion of our forests, systems of regeneration and treatment have for us much less importance than the accurate observation of natural phenomena and correct deduction of principles therefrom. For this reason I have laid particular stress on the struggle for existence that is constantly going on between the component individuals of a forest crop, and have made a special study of the conditions which decide the survival of the fittest. This, it seems to me, is an entirely new departure in the teaching of sylviculture and was forced on me from the moment I found myself placed in the midst of a bewilder ing variety of species and conditions, of which the European forester, with his half dozen or so of species having any general distribution in one and the same forest, his stereotyped seasons and his moist climate, has no conception. In India we want to turn out men who can use their eyes and will constantly endeavour to ascribe to their true cause or causes whatever comes under their observation. As to systems of regeneration and treatment we can at present rarely do little more than borrow from our confre'res in Europe. It is only when we have studied thoroughly the habits and requirements of our numerous forest species and the peculiari ties of the Indian climate as it affects the growth of forests, that we shall know how and with what modifications to apply those systems in this country and what entirely new methods it will be necessary to introduce.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rough Draft of a Manual of Indian Sylviculture This book is no more than what it professes to be, viz., a Rough Draft of a Manual embodying especially for the use of Indian students the general principles of sylviculture. It originated in this wise. In 1881, when instruction was given for the first time at the Forest School, Mr. Fisher and I were asked to prepare a Manual of Forestry to take the place of the lectures. The task of bringing out the Sylviculture portion of the book fell to me. As the undertaking was a very large one and required more experiencF than a single man possessed, Mr. R. Thompson joined us in 1882, and I was relieved of that portion of the work which relates to the special application of general principles in the cultivation and treatment of our forests and trees. Thus my allotted task has now been completed. In carrying it out I have never had the time or the opportunity to complete the entire book in manuscript before publishing it. As each section, indeed often each Article, was written, it was sent to press, and so when the later parts came to be written in the same piece-meal fashion, I constantly felt the necessity of suppressing, modifying or adding to was already in print. Nay more than this. Owing to special duties which absorbed all my time, I have frequently, for months, been compelled to lay the work aside until I had once more leisure to resume it. Indeed on one occasion not a word was added to the manuscript for more than a year. Even when able to prosecute the work, I could make for myself time only at nights in the solitude of our forest camps. Such being the case, it is not surprising that the first page was printed in November 1885, while the last one is only just leaving the press after a lapse of three years. During this time I have also been preparing in Urdu a course of forestry and the allied sciences for the use of candidates for the Forester's certificate, part of which course has already been published. It will thus be readily conceded that the circumstances in which this Draft has been written and published have been conducive neither to unity of ideas, plan or arrangement, nor even to the little amount of literary polish that is generally held to be sufficient in an educational work on a scientific subject.

Download or read book Lake and Reservoir Restoration written by G. Dennis Cooke and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lake and Reservoir Restoration deals with the eutrophication process and the methods to protect, restore, and manage lakes and reservoirs. The most common in-lake techniques or procedures, plus nutrient diversion, are reviewed with regard to their scientific basis, methods of application, known effectiveness, feasibility, drawbacks, and costs. Areas for further research and development are also highlighted. This book is comprised of 16 chapters organized into four sections. After an introduction to the theory of the problem and the restoration technique, the discussion turns to the various restoration methods such as those used for physical and chemical control of nutrients. Diversion and advanced waste treatment, hypolimnetic withdrawal, and dilution and flushing are considered along with phosphorus precipitation and inactivation, sediment oxidation, sediment removal, and hypolimnetic aeration. Case studies and success stories are presented and the costs and potential negative impacts of the methods are examined. The following chapters focus on methods to control plant biomass, including artificial circulation, water-level drawdown, harvesting, biological control, and surface and sediment covers. A chapter on liming acidified lakes concludes this text. This monograph will be useful to professional limnologists and engineers, on-site lake or reservoir managers, and those who are interested in learning about the problems and management of lakes and reservoirs.

Book excerpt: "A tale of diversity within our damaged landscapes, The Mushroom at the End of the World follows one of the strangest commodity chains of our times to explore the unexpected corners of capitalism. Here, we witness the varied and peculiar worlds of matsutake commerce: the worlds of Japanese gourmets, capitalist traders, Hmong jungle fighters, industrial forests, Yi Chinese goat herders, Finnish nature guides, and more. These companions also lead us into fungal ecologies and forest histories to better understand the promise of cohabitation in a time of massive human destruction."--Publisher's description.
