Vancouver: UBC Press / University of British Columbia, 1996. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Inscribed & Signed by Author. First Edition.. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. From the back cover: "Following a historical review, the author discusses population genetic theory and genetic systems of tree species and how these species interact with environments in the major climatic regions in the world. He then demonstrates how this knowledge is used to guide seed zoning and seed transfer in silviculture, basing much of his discussion on models developed in Scandinavia and North America. In the final chapter, the author addresses the issue of genetic conservation -- a subject of great concern in the face of accelerated forest destruction, industrial pollution, and climatic change."
