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.

This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Botany for Indian Forest Students He should for example possess a good knowledge of the charac ters most commonly employed in plant descriptions and thus be able to identify plants from their written descriptions and to use a Flora with advantage. He should also have an eye for those characters of bark, habit, etc., which enable one to recog nise on sight different species in the forest at different times of year. Such characters are dealt with in Part I of the Manual. Those for whom this book is primarily intended have very little time for microscopic work both during their course of training and thereafter. Anatomy therefore is very briefly dealt with in Part I I and only so far as has been considered necessary for a fairly clear idea of the main facts of Physiology and Pathology as given in Parts I I I and V.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Indian Timbers: An Account of the Growth, Distribution, and Uses of the Trees and Shrubs of India and Ceylon, With Descriptions of Their Wood-Structure IN the Introduction to the former edition of this work, published in 1881, a full explanation was given of the circumstances under which its preparation came to be undertaken. The Government of India had prepared for the Paris International Exhibition of 1878 a very fine collection of Indian woods and forest products. The work of collection and preparation had been done in the office of the Inspector General of Forests, at that time Mr. (now Sir Dietrich) Brandis, and as Assistant to the inspector-general, I had executive charge of it. My own interest in the study of woods and wood-structure had been excited while I was a student in 1869 to 1871 at the National School of Forestry at Nancy in France, where I had the advantage of listening to the lectures of the Professor of Natural History, Mons. A. Mathieu, author of the F lore F orestiere de la France; and where I became greatly interested in the collection of wood-specimens arranged in the museum attached to the school. The work carried on in 1877 and 1878 at Simla and Calcutta was there fore to me a labour of love. Several sets of the wood-specimens were prepared: the chief set was sent to Paris, other sets were distributed to the chief Indian Forest offices, to the museum of the Royal Gardens at Kew, and to a few similar institutions in Europe and America; while a special set was reserved for the museum of the Imperial F orest School at Dehra Dim, which had then been just opened. The special Dehra D1'1n set was retained for a time in the office of the inspector-general, and it was arranged that it should be first utilized for the preparation of descriptions of the woods it contained.

Download or read book Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Management Options written by James M. Vose and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest land managers face the challenges of preparing their forests for the impacts of climate change. However, climate change adds a new dimension to the task of developing and testing science-based management options to deal with the effects of stressors on forest ecosystems in the southern United States. The large spatial scale and complex interactions make traditional experimental approaches difficult. Yet, the current progression of climate change science offers new insights from recent syntheses, models, and experiments, providing enough information to start planning now for a future that will likely include an increase in disturbances and rapid changes in forest conditions. Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Management Options: A Guide for Natural Resource Managers in Southern Forest Ecosystems provides a comprehensive analysis of forest management options to guide natural resource management in the face of future climate change. Topics include potential climate change impacts on wildfire, insects, diseases, and invasives, and how these in turn might affect the values of southern forests that include timber, fiber, and carbon; water quality and quantity; species and habitats; and recreation. The book also considers southern forest carbon sequestration, vulnerability to biological threats, and migration of native tree populations due to climate change. This book utilizes the most relevant science and brings together science experts and land managers from various disciplines and regions throughout the south to combine science, models, and on-the-ground experience to develop management options. Providing a link between current management actions and future management options that would anticipate a changing climate, the authors hope to ensure a broader range of options for managing southern forests and protecting their values in the future.
