Books by Laurence C. Walker

Laurence Walker chronicles the constant demands that people have made on forest resources in the South.

Examines the forests of the South, providing a comprehensive description of the region. This book provides information for practicing foresters, researchers, and students to increase forest growth for the many forest types and in the various subregions without detrimentally affecting soil, species diversity, or long-term aesthetics.

Describes where, why, and how the many kinds of trees found in North America grow in silvical associations - called forest cover types. This title discusses diverse woodlands such as: the Arctic tundra, Florida's tropics, Atlantic's coastal pond pines, Pacific's Monterey pines, summits of Englemann spruce, and sea-level swamps of bald cypress.
