        Introductory Forestry

        by Alok Kumar Patra

        The origin of agroforestry practices, i.e. growing trees and shrubs with food and fruit crops and grasses is traditional and very old; but the science of agroforestry is new. Years of experience and experiments have shown that agroforestry as a land-use system is capable of yielding both food and wood and at the same time helps in conserving and rehabilitating the ecosystems. The book has been divided into ten chapters covering very comprehensive information on all aspects of agroforestry including history, concepts, systems classification, tree-crop interactions, planning and management, diagnosis and design, policy and projects, and propagation and management practices of multipurpose trees.

        Basics of Wood Anatomy

        by Kanica Upadhyay, Rajneesh Kumar& Sneha Dobhal

        Wood anatomy, the study of woody cells and tissues, has advanced considerably since the early descriptive accounts were made which consisted mainly of cataloguing what was out there. Anatomical data have been applied in better understanding of the interrelationships of woody plants, confirming evidence of natural relationships of plant families in combined analyses. This book will serve its purpose well, for Undergraduates of Forestry. Wood is composed mostly of hollow, elongated, spindle-shaped cells that are arranged parallel to each other along the trunk of a tree. The characteristics of these fibrous cells and their arrangement affect strength properties, appearance, resistance to penetration by water and chemicals, resistance to decay, and many other properties. Just under the bark of a tree is a thin layer of cells, not visible to the naked eye, called the cambium. Here cells divide and eventually differentiate to form bark tissue to the outside of the cambium and wood or xylem tissue to the inside. This newly formed wood (termed sapwood) contains many living cells and conducts sap upward in the tree. Eventually, the inner sapwood cells become inactive and are transformed into heartwood. This transformation is often accompanied by the formation of extractives that darken the wood, make it less porous, and sometimes provide more resistance to decay. The center of the trunk is the pith, the soft tissue about which the first wood growth takes place in the newly formed twigs. The book will be helpful in imparting theoretical skills to the students, academicians and teaching faculty of the forestry and agricultural disciplines working in field of woody plants. This book is intended to impart basic education for the UG students of Forestry for the course Wood Anatomy.

        by Matthias Kunstmann, Naomi Wille, Johanna Rummel

        With this book, educational professionals are able to introduce children to the UNESCO "Education for Sustainable Development" program. First part of the book is a teacher manual with information on sustainability and the UNESCO "Education for Sustainable Development" program together with detailed lesson plans. Sustainability covers 3 main aspects: ecology, society and economy. The human community should be ecologically mindful, socially just and economically efficient. In detail, the United Nations 2030 Agenda has set 17 goals of sustainability, which are reflected in this book. With hands-on materials, as activity and project cards, children learn about environmental problems such as deforestation, climate change, and more. They are encouraged to discuss and try out with age-appropriate stories, information and activities.
