A bible for university students of forestry

It is a very complete book with good explanations. However, it is written with very specialised vocabulary and looks like it has been written for university students. I would not recommend it as your first book on silviculture.

Silvicultura Práctica (edición en español)

Este es el libro más claro y abarcativo de la materia que he leído. Trata los conceptos con mucha claridad y con ejemplos muy buenos, solo que todos son del hemisferio norte. La gráfica es muy clara y explicativa, sobre todo en los métodos de raleo que siempre son difíciles de entender. Lo he utilizado como estudiante y sigo usándolo como profesor de Silvicultura. Es el libro de cabecera para todo Forestal. Totalmente recomendable. La traducción al español es muy buena.
