The theory and practices of forestry need to be widely discussed and better understood. This simple and comprehensive book on “Introduction and Applications of Forestry” presents different aspects forestry guiding and describing the general description and usefulness of forest nursery, establishment and management of plantations, Non-Timber Forest Products, Tree Borne Oil seeds, live fencing systems, Forest mensuration and Agroforestry and systems, cultivation practices of tree species, etc. Forestry deals with the theory and practice of all that constitutes the creation, conservation and scientific management of forests and utilization of their resources. In particular, silviculture deals with the practice of controlling the establishment and management of forest stands. There has been increased public awareness towards raising plantation of tree species including management of soil and water conservation. Public concern regarding raising plantations may have shifted from the extraction of timber for earning money for the economy, to the preservation of additional forest resources, including wildlife and old growth forest, protecting biodiversity, watershed management and recreation. Increased environmental awareness may contribute to an increased public mistrust of silvicultural professionals. But it can also lead to greater understanding about what professionals do for forests for nature conservation and ecological services. This book deals with some of the basic Introduction to Forestry and its Applications. The book has been written with a view to cover the broad syllabus prescribed on the subject in various forestry colleges, forestry training institutes and Agricultural Universities in India. This will serve as a valuable source of information for the academicians in forestry colleges and institutes and also for the under-graduate and post-graduate students for the preparation of competitive examinations in forestry discipline About the Author: Mainak Barman is pursuing Ph.D. in Genetics and Plant Breeding from Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, West Bengal, India as a CSIR Fellow.
