Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This title contains the proceedings of a biology seminar held in February 1994. Ireland has less forest than any other country in the European Union. The 1994 seminar of the Irish National Committee for Biology set out to put this fact in historical context and then to examine current forest policy in the island, north and south. The final session of the seminar examined new uses of woody plants and the contribution of biotechnology to the production of elite trees for future forestry.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The history of Irish woodlands -- Present day woodlands -- Applied biology of woody plants -- Biology of woody plant tissue culture.
