| dc.description | This manual covers both the humid and semi-arid tropics, providing a framework for considering diverse planting sites, choosing tree species for different purposes, deciding which types of growing system to use, and how to prepare the land. All sheets takes as their background the general ecological principles that underlie tree survival, without loosing sight of practical constraints on tree planting. Emphasis is placed on the choice of appropriate planting patterns, such as small groups, lines or strips, which can minimise soil damage and provide favourable environments for young trees to become established. The remarkable ability of some soil improving trees and shrubs to protect bare land, and to reclaim degraded soils, is also covered. | |
