SPRINGER Biology And Ecology Of Norway Spruce (Forestry Sciences Volume 78) by TJOELKER MARK G. ET. AL
This is a concise and comprehensive review of the biology, ecology, and management of Norway spruce. Written by 25 experts in the field, and richly illustrated, it integrates classic and contemporary literature. More than 2000 works are cited in the text, which highlights basic research and forestry practices in central and Eastern Europe. The huge range of topics covered includes the species' morphology, its physiology and nutrition, and its ecology. 1. Paleorecord of Norway spruce; A. Srodon, K. Tobolski.- 2. Morphology; T.
