Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Unlike many general agroforestry books, The Silvicultural Basis for Agroforestry Systems emphasizes research and thoughts from a forestry perspective rather than an agricultural one. Many of the examples used in this reference are based on the ecological theory of forests that concern the competition for resources of plant-plant and plant-animal mixtures. This guide also uses the knowledge gained about the temporal and spatial dynamic and productivity of forests as the basis for silvicultural applications in agroforestry systems. It provides a protocol for thinking about appropriate silvicultural systems for the particular agroforestry desired.
MoreLong description:
During the Green Revolution in many developing countries, agroforestry systems tended to reflect modern agricultural systems by their intensive use of fertilizers, pesticides, and site modifications to fit the desired crop. Since the 1980's, agroforestry has learned from traditional indigenous systems to work more closely with the fertility of marginal lands through the use of less intensive cultivation and fallow periods.
True to its title, this volume provides a silvicultural framework for thinking about the design and practice of agroforestry systems. Unlike many general agroforestry books, The Silvicultural Basis for Agroforestry Systems emphasizes research and thoughts from a forestry perspective rather than an agricultural one. Many of the examples used in this reference are based on the ecological theory of forests that concern the competition for resources of plant-plant and plant-animal mixtures. This guide also uses the knowledge gained about the temporal and spatial dynamic and productivity of forests as the basis for silvicultural applications in agroforestry systems.
The Silvicultural Basis for Agroforestry Systems contains three parts:
Table of Contents:
INTRODUCTION: A Philosophical Approach to Silviculture in Agroforestry. PART I: UNDERSTANDING PLANT-ENVIRONMENT INTERACTIONS: A BASIS FOR SILVICULTURE IN AGROFORESTRY SYSTEMS: Light, Moisture and Nutrient Use by Plants. Nitrogen-Fixing Leguminous Trees and Shrubs: A Basic Resource of Agroforestry. Ecological Theory of Diversity and Its Application to Mixed-Species Plantations. Some Applications of Multi-Trophic Level Ecological Theory to Agroforestry Systems . PART II: PATTERN AND PROCESS OF FORESTS AS TEMPLATES FOR SILVICULTURAL APPLICATIONS IN AGROFORESTRY SYSTEMS: Water Use and Climatic Relationships in Agroforestry. Nutrient Cycling and Nutrient Use Efficiency in Agroforestry Systems. Nitrogen-Fixation in Traditional and Modern Agroforestry Systems. Species Interactions, Stand Structure, and Productivity in Agroforestry Systems. Agroforestry Systems As Successional Analogs to Native Forests. PART III: PUTTING THE SILVICULTURAL FRAMEWORK TOGETHER FOR AGROFORESTRY SYSTEMS: Site Classification and the Management of Landscape Pattern in Agroforestry Systems. Defining Silvicultural Systems Within Agroforestry. Index
