Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a collaborative effort by two forestry experts, examines the development of western white pines and the factors that influence their cone and seed production over an 18-year study. It delves into the variability of cone production among geographic localities, individual trees, and years, providing valuable insights for forest management practices. The authors meticulously analyze the impact of exogenous factors such as seed year and elevation, as well as potential genetic influences on seed yields. Their findings highlight the importance of considering these variations in cone production to maximize cone and seed collection efficiency. The book also explores the effects of wind cross and self-pollination on seed yields, offering crucial information for seed orchard management. Overall, this comprehensive study provides significant knowledge about the reproductive ecology of western white pines, helping to inform forest management strategies and contribute to the preservation of these majestic trees.
