Provided here are both underlying theory and recent results
concerning the propagation and use of clones in research and
in production forestry. State-of-the-art science and case
histories treating production, testing, multiplication and
deployment of clones are presented. Agroforestry, urban
forestry and christmas-tree farming are covered, along with
more traditional multiple-use forestry and high-intensity
forestry for biomass, wood and fiber production. Clonal
forestry is contrasted to the more recent developments of
"family forestry", and the classical tree-improvement
approach relying on seed-orchards. The history of clonal
forestry is covered with reviews of several centuries
experience with Sugi in Japan and poplars in Europe. The
impacts and use of clones in the contexts of genetic
conservation and biodiversity are discussed, as are the laws
and regulations affecting clonal production and deployment.
