Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ecological Investigations Upon the Germination and Growth of Forest Trees The history of our country reveals the fact that material industrial progress is largely in direct proportion to scientific research and invention. This is especially true in the agricultural pursuits. The various governmental bureaus, our state universities and agricultural colleges, and our many agricultural experiment stations are intimately connected with and responsible for the progressive agricultural development of our country. These institutions form a vast ganglionic intellectual organization; they are rapidly becoming the centers of a new agricultural system and, working from these centers outward, they are gradually touching every phase of agricultural activity. Forestry has joined the ranks of the great industries in developing the investigative side of the business and the establishment of forest experiment stations and a forest products laboratory by the Forest Service of the United States Department of Agriculture has been the first step in this direction. It has become the business of these stations and this laboratory to study the fundamental laws governing the life of the forest and their effect upon the final product - wood. That vast complex of environmental factors - the habitat - is beginning to be analyzed to discover in what ways man can help nature to produce more and better timber, in a shorter length of time and at less cost than nature has produced in the ages past. While perhaps, on account of economic conditions, industrial investigations have been given preference to purely silvicultural research, yet investigations in establishing and growing forests have received no small amount of attention. Outside of these governmental endeavors very little has been done along the lines of silvicultural research. State forest experiment stations are practically unknown. It is true that the foresters as well as the ecologists connected with some of our agricultural experiment stations are contributing to this field, but a beginning has scarcely been made.
