Eucalyptus globulus Silviculture in Spain: New Book

A new booklet summarizing the silvicultural techniques applied to Eucalyptus globulus in Spain has been recently published as part of the new Spanish Silviculture Compendium (+1000 pages of useful tree talk delivered by Rafael Serrada and his team).

Today we bring you the chapter for E. globulus, which was separately edited by ENCE forestry researchers Gabriel Toval, Gustavo López, Federico Ruíz & Reyes Alejano, and which you can download as a PDF (a courtesy of  Wikisilva - Universidade de Vigo).
