The prime objective in forestry is to grow trees to produce timber, whatever the secondary objectives may be. The forest manager has to try to produce as much timber as possible, as quickly and economically as possible, within the various constraints imposed. To do this, he or she has to make decisions. In forestry, making the right decisions is even more important than in most other enterprises because of the long time-scale involved. The manager may not even live long enough to see the full results of his decisions. This book has been fully revised and updated for this second edition; and there are three new chapters concerning the use of computers in forestry management. Zdroj anotace: Web obalkyknih.cz
