Forest tree biotechnology.
The past year has seen the fruits of biotechnological manipulation of forest trees approach commercial application. Advances in somatic embryogenesis have brought mass clonal propagation of the top commercial trees closer to reality, and efficient gene transfer systems have been developed for a number of conifers and hardwoods. Radical alterations in the quantity and quality of lignin in wood h...
متن کاملBiotechnology and the domestication of forest trees.
Wood is one of the major renewable materials. To compensate for the ever-increasing demand for wood and to reduce pressure on native forests, more wood of higher quality will need to be produced on less land by planting highly productive trees. Biotechnology has shown great promise for forest tree improvement and over the past 10 years this field has flourished. Not only has the potential of tr...
متن کاملNon-wood Forest Products
This paper describes an attempt to integrate the assessment of some non-wood forest products (NWFPs) in the framework of a standard forest inventory. The study is restricted mainly to medicinal and aromatic plants, i.e., herbal NWFPs, a group that has economic importance in the hill regions of Nepal. Several specific difficulties are discussed. They arise from the fact that a regular forest inv...
متن کاملForest Products Terminology
T field of forest products is a blend of several subjects—forestry, biology, chemistry, and engineering, among many others. This blending can at times lead to communication gaps between disciplines and create confusion for consumers. Inaccuracies can lead to the inappropriate utilization of wood, shortening its service life, or worse, creating safety hazards. It is therefore pertinent for users...
متن کاملRecreation and Nontimber Forest Products
Research on forest recreation over the last 60 years has been voluminous. Research on nontimber forest products (NTFP) has been much less voluminous. In this chapter the history of these two tracks of research has been reviewed. Not all studies are mentioned; rather, a representative selection of the subject matter is discussed. Forest recreation research had its beginnings in the late 1950s wi...
