Précis
This is a reference text for species used in agroforestry and revegetation in Australia and overseas. It contains descriptions of the Australian environment and associated vegetation, seed, nursery and revegetation practice and a digest of information about 112 major and 52 minor species.
Evaluation
This is a fantastic reference for anyone looking for useful revegetation species for tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. It is surprising to see how much detailed information there is about apparently obscure species. The section on seeds, nurseries and revegetation should be compulsory reading for all Australian revegetators.
Quote
This provides information on lesser known species, the Australian environment, species selection, propagation and planting.
