Thus, presence of brown stain in export stock may decrease its value and be reason for a claim against the exporting company.
- The Shrinking and Swelling of Wood and Its Effect on Furniture
-
The dimensional changes that accompany the shrinking and swelling of wood are major sources of both visual and structural problems in furniture.
- Best management practices for riparian areas
-
This chapter will describe the management issues of concern, water bodies that are addressed by traditional BMPs, RMZ options, and approaches to the development of RMZ guidelines that move beyond BMPs and address issues other than the protection of water quality.
- Urban Forestry Bibliography
-
Indexes publications relating to the history of urban forestry; urban forest legislation; the benefits of urban forests, selection and planting of trees; maintenance of the urban forest; planning and management; and urban forestry programs.
- Tree Planting Objectives and the Seedling Selection Process

- Selling Walnut Timber
-
Black walnut requires and deserves attention if maximum returns are to be earned. For many woodland owners, the opportunity to sell timber comes only once or twice during a lifetime. For those fortunate enough to own a well-managed woodland, timber can be harvested periodically. In either case, the success or failure of a timber sale usually will depend on the attitude and knowledge of the seller.
- Rosette Bud Mite On Fraser Fir
-
Rosette buds affect the quality of Fraser fir grown for Christmas trees. The more rosette buds that are on a tree and the more years the tree has rosette buds, the more the quality is affected.
- Mechanical Tree Planters
-
Mechanical tree planters can speed seedling tree planting where several thousand trees are involved and where the terrain is not too steep nor too rough for mechanized equipment.

- Illinois Small Community Tree Programs: Attitude, Status and Needs
-
In Illinois, 95% of the state's incorporated communities are classified as small (population less than 25,000), with approximately one-third of the state's citizens (3.6 million of 11.2 million) residing in these small communities. The objective of this survey was to obtain information on the status and needs of programs for managing public shade and street trees in the small communities of Illinois.

Added: November 05, 2008The health and structure of trees are reflections of soil health. The ecological processes which govern tree survival and growth are concentrated around the soil/root interface. As soils, and associated resources change, tree systems must change to effectively utilize and tolerate changing resources quantities and qualities, as well as the physical space available. Soil compaction is a major tree-limiting feature of community forest managers and arborists.

- Concerning Pen-Raised Quail
-
Stocking pen-raised bobwhites to increase breeding populations of quail is generally considered unjustified by most biologists due to low survival rates, and has been implicated in the decline of native quail populations because of the potential for disease introduction, food and/or mate competition, displacement of wild quail, increasing wild quail mortality, and dilution of the native gene pool or reduction of brood rearing ability through cross-breeding.
