Summary:

Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) is an important tree species with a
remarkable natural range throughout Europe and Asia, ranging from the
Balkan Peninsula to Siberia in the north and from the French Alps in
the west to the Sea of Okhotsk in the east. Wherever it occurs, it is
a key component of both natural and managed forests. Norway spruce is
the most economically valuable conifer in Europe, producing
high-quality timber and wood products. Written by 25 authorities,
this book presents a concise and comprehensive review of the biology,
ecology, and management of Norway spruce. It integrates classic and
contemporary literature (more than 2000 works cited in the text),
highlighting basic research and forestry practices in central and
eastern Europe. The topics include anatomy and morphology, physiology
and nutrition, reproductive biology and genetics, and ecology. In
addition, it examines mycorrhiza, diseases and pests as well as
silviculture and wood products. In the light of increasing threats to
forest health from air pollution, climate change, and insects and
disease, it provides an essential information source to those
concerned with the ecology, conservation, and management of the
species.
