Book excerpt: Forest plantations are among the tangible solutions to meet the world's needs for timber and wood products (e.g., timber, firewood, pulp, and paper) and other ecosystem services that are constantly increasing and compensate for the loss of millions of hectares of forests caused by the increase in the severity and frequency of fires, insect attacks, and environmental stresses in humid, arid, and semiarid zones. Faced with these major constraints and challenges in the context of climate change, it is not enough to plant millions of seedlings, but we must ensure the genetic selection of seeds adapted to current and future climates, the morphophysiological quality of seedlings, the quality of sites, and the optimization of cultural as well as sylvicultural practices (e.g., from seeds to sustainable plantations) to achieve the objectives of various programs (reforestation and wood production; restoration of damaged, degraded, or destroyed ecosystems; desert greening; and agroforestry) in terms of survival, growth, and yield. This Special Issue deals with different facets and topics of the seedling production chain in different countries and continents, from growing media to planting performance related to reforestation, restoration, and agroforestry programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid establishment of seedlings in forest regeneration or afforestation sites after planting is a prerequisite for a successful reforestation. Seedling survival after outplanting can be improved by using high-quality seedling material. Seedling quality consists of several features, such as genetic source, morphological properties, nutritional status, stress resistance, and vitality of the seedlings. Field performance of the seedlings is a complex process which can be affected by many nursery and silvicultural practices. Nursery cultural practices strongly affect seedling quality, which is generally at its highest level during the growth period at the nursery. Afterwards, when the seedlings are transported from the nursery to the planting site (including seedling storage, handling, shipping, and planting practices), the quality of seedlings can only remain the same or decline. To ensure successful regeneration, it is important to produce seedlings that retain their high quality until planting, and to establish them quickly in the forest regeneration site.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper highlights some key aspects of forest nursery stock production that are essential for the success of tree seedling production and reforestation. It first describes the steps of nursery stock production and the factors that either contribute or impede production of vigorous tree seedlings. These steps include soil preparation, seed germination, seedling growth, seedling shipping & planting, and review & planning of nursery operations. The paper then reviews research on the relationship between field performance and nursery practices.

Book excerpt: This publication, a compilation of 28 technical articles on various aspects of forest nursery management in western North America, consists of two sections. The first 10 papers comprise the Target Seedling Symposium, and discuss the latest methods of describing and measuring the ideal seedling for reforestation purposes. Morphological characteristics such as height, diameter, stocktype, root system size, and mycorrnizae are covered. Considerable attention is paid to physiological tests such as root growth potential, hydraulic conductivity, cold-hardiness, mineral nutrition, seedling moisture status, and mitotic index. Chlorophyll fluorescence (Fvar), stress-induced volatile emissions (SIVE), and electrolyte conductivity (EC) are also discussed. The remaining papers deal with operational aspects of growing forest tree seedlings in bareroot or container nurseries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the present era, the man has progressed very rapidly but due to the unending and multifarious, malpractices and manifold increase in human population; the forests are depleted and thus decreased to a vast extent. To increase the area under forest, a good and healthy forest nursery is very important for afforestation/ planting and thus getting good stock for future programme. Thus raising of nursery, of many species of trees grow very slow. If, the seeds are sown directly in the planting-out site, weed infestation may be an acute problem. The foreign/exotic species, e.g. Eucalyptus, Populus, etc. are raised first in nursery and therefore, planted/ transplanted in the field/ planting-out site afterwards. In this book," FOREST NURSERY- How to Raise and Manage" mainly two types of forest nursery have been discussed in details, viz., (a) Bare rooted seedlings nursery and (b) Containerised seedings nursery. The Present Book ," FOREST NURSERY- How to Raise and Manage", is a very sincere attempt to explore the good knowledge and vast information. This book has been written very consciously and earnestly in a very lucid language which can be understood by less educated nursery men. It is very much expected that the present book will prove very helpful in raising and managing the forest Nursery. Moreover, this is a very handy and very informative book for students, teachers, forest scientists, nursery men and all concerned with the subject.
