Short Rotation Forestry for Industrial and Rural Development is a compendium of 79 articles which were presented during an IUFRO International Conference on World Perspective on Short Rotation Forestry for Industrial and Rural Development, held at Solan from Sept.7-13, 2003. The book opens with an article by Lars Christersson, who is a leading short rotation forestry specialist from Sweden and has two other books to his credit. The book deals with various aspects of short rotation forestry, like silviculture, physiology, irrigation effects, productivity potential, processing and production, propagation techniques, genetic improvement and genetic diversity to the role of short rotation species in agro-forestry. Rather short rotation species currently being used in agro-forestry find major mention and treatment in the compendium. The book will be most relevant to the people working with agro-forestry species, which invariably have a short rotation period, foresters and NGO's working with plantation programmes for rural development and joint forest management and to Universities and Institutions dealing with forestry species.

Climate change, a global phenomenon, has attracted scientists to contribute in anticipatory research to mitigate adverse impacts, which are more important for horticulture, considering that the scenario is in the midst of revolution, reaching the production level of 250 million tonnes in India. Impacts of climate variability have, invariably, profound influence on production and quality. An understanding of the impacts and relevant adaptation strategies are of foremost importance to sustain the productivity and profitability of horticulture crops in the climate change scenario, which necessitates synthesis of current knowledge to develop strategies for adaptation and mitigation to achieve cl...
