Problems In Tree Nutrition

“Problems in Tree Nutrition” is a vintage treatise primarily dealing with mycorrhizal fungus and soil fertility in relation to forestry. The contents of this volume was first published as a series of papers in 'Forestry', the Journal of the Society of Foresters of Great Britain between 1934 and 1941. “Problems in Tree Nutrition” will appeal to those with an interest in forestry and the in particular the effects of mycorrhizal fungus on a variety of trees. Contents include: “Introduction”, “Researches on the Genus 'Pinus' with an Account of Experimental Work in a Selected Area”, “Organic Composts and the Growth of Young Trees”, “Organic Composts and the Growth of Young Trees (continued)”, Studies in Mycorrhizal Response in 'Pinus' and Other Conifers”, “Biological Aspects of Soil Fertility”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on soil science.

Every year, natural disasters, armed conflicts and other forms of crisis adversely affect the lives of millions of people in the developing world. In many countries, families are forced to abandon their homes, farms and villages; access to adequate food becomes difficult, and hardship contributes to high rates of malnutrition. This book offers guidance to program planners and technicians in the fields of nutrition, food security, agriculture and community development in adopting a longer-term perspective to addressing problems of household food insecurity and malnutrition during periods of crisis and recovery. It provides a framework for an implementation strategy that focuses on both saving lives in the short term and strengthening livelihood to ensure that households are less vulnerable to food and nutrition insecurity in the future.
