Contributing to an increasing awareness of the importance of urban trees, the research into arboriculture, urban forestry, and related disciplines--and the associated key concepts, terms, and
phrases--is currently distributed among varied journals and texts. Seven members of the Institute of Australian Consulting Arboriculturalists present a dictionary assembling, in one document,
as complete a list as possible of words and terms used in the universal management of urban trees, and employing plain language to define concepts which are sometimes complex. It is designed to
aid in the preparation of tree management reports, procedures and planning instruments such as tree management policies and tree management orders, and to further the understanding of
arboriculture and urban forestry. Each cross-referenced entry includes the subject word/phrase in bold print followed by its definition(s) and acronyms, if any. Illustrated with b&w
diagrams and photographs. Distributed in the US by Stylus. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
