| Résumé : |
"Pines are the most important group of trees in the world, occuring over large parts of the northern hemisphere, often forming the dominant vegetation cover. They play an important role in the ecosystems of which they form a part and provide a valuable source of fibre, timber and various other products. This volume provides a comprehensive review essential for all concerned with the management of natural and planted pine forests." (source : auteur) |
