Silvics of North America

"Silvics of North America" describes the silvical characteristics of about 200 conifers and hardwood trees in the conterminous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Individual articles were researched and written by knowledgeable Forest Service, university, and cooperating scientists. They were reviewed by their counterparts in research and academia. The project took 10 years to complete. The revised manual retains all of the essential material from the original publication, plus new information accumulated over the past quarter of a century. It promises to serve as a useful reference and teaching tool for researchers, educators, and practicing foresters both within the United States and abroad. https://www.srs.fs.usda.gov/pubs/misc/ag_654/table_of_contents.htm《北美林木学》（Silvics of North America）系统阐述了美国本土、阿拉斯加州、夏威夷州及波多黎各境内约200种针叶树与阔叶树的林木学特性。各篇章均由经验丰富的美国林务局、高校及合作科研机构的科研人员开展研究并撰写，随后由科研与学术领域的同行进行评审。本项目耗时十年方得完成。本次修订版手册完整保留了原版出版物的全部核心内容，同时增补了过去25年间积累的全新研究资料。该书有望成为美国及全球范围内科研人员、教育工作者与在职林务员的实用参考资料与教学工具。https://www.srs.fs.usda.gov/pubs/misc/ag_654/table_of_contents.htm
