The Ecology and Silviculture of Oaks (2nd Edition)

Ecology is the scientific study of the interrelations among living things and their environment. Ecological knowledge effects an awareness of precarious interdependencies among the myriad organisms, large and minuscule, between organisms and nonliving components of ecosystems, and the pervasive...

description Ecology is the scientific study of the interrelations among living things and their environment. Ecological knowledge effects an awareness of precarious interdependencies among the myriad organisms, large and minuscule, between organisms and nonliving components of ecosystems, and the pervasive human impacts that threaten these relations.

Perhaps no science more so than ecology has generated more knowledge with implications relating to ethics, morality and human behaviour. In contrast, silviculture is the art and science of tending forests to meet human needs.
