This is the first truly modern book solely devoted to seed reproduction of forest trees-from flowering to establishment, with emphasis on the interaction of environment with physiological processes.
Focus is on seed function in natural settings and the application of information to natural regeneration of forests. This easy-to-read text addresses
important principles and provides in-depth coverage of existing literature.
Presentation of the information is organized
to allow for a natural development of the main theme with full explanations of such important components as seed production, dispersal and germination, as well as the integral parts played by water, temperature, light, chemicals, animals, pathogens and aging.
A highly useful book for investigators, practitioners or students.
