Seeds of Woody Plants of North America. Dioscorides Press, Portland, OR. 407 p. Seeds of Woody Plants of North America is a greatly revised edition of the legendary U.S.D.A. Agriculture Handbook No. 450, Seeds of Woody Plants in the United States. The new edition covers twice the genera of plants, including new material on native plants used in environmental plantings and Asian plant materials of importance. The focus is on propagation from seed; vegetative propagation is not covered. Presentation of material is condensed, however, and access to the U.S.D.A. edition may be helpful for literature citations, taxonomic information, tables, and chapters on seed biology, genetics, pollen handling, and harvesting and storage procedures.

It is one of the leading voices for agroforestry worldwide. While the content deals mostly with sub-tropical and tropical agroforestry, much of the information has universal applications (e.g., mycorrhizae, on-farm research methods, soil-plant interactions, tree establishment methods, etc.) ============================================ Compiled by Steve Diver steved@ncatark.uark.edu ============================================ -- steved@ncatark.uark.edu
