This seminal work in three volumes deals with the trees of India from a silvicultural point of view. In a vast country like India, with an infinite variety of climates and forest types and a rich array of tree species, silvicultural research is imperative to forest management. This book is the outcome of several years of research into silvicultural issues, combined with observations recorded in many parts of India and Burma for a period of more than twenty years. The vast natural forests of India, representing the greatest diversity of types and containing species exhibiting the utmost variation in silvicultural characters, present problems of a most intricate kind, the solution to which is impossible without a close study, in each case, of the ecological factors bearing on invasion, succession, and the struggle for existence. Successful forest management in India depends on strict attention to correct silvicultural details. This classic reference text, by R.S. Troup, is a big step in that direction.
