Afforestation has been considered  one of the most feasible after-use alternatives for  the degraded habitats that are ¿cutaway peatlands'.  In Ireland, research was initiated to generate  optimal practices that represent the most appropriate  methods (species, seedling characteristics and  management operations) for the successful  afforestation of industrial cutaway peatlands and the  creation of new sustainable forests, compatible with  environmental imperatives. This research established  that with good planning and the application of site- specific establishment procedures, satisfactory  results could be obtained, using intensive site  evaluation procedures. While Norway spruce may be the  most suitable commercial forest species, a range of  other conifer and broadleaved species can be  established successfully. The variation in site  conditions encountered in any given site means that,  not one, but several species might flourish within a  given area, thus enhancing the sustainability of  these new forests. This research should help  students, researchers as well as foresters and land  managers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844300963\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to successfully establish a forest resource on industrial cutaway peatlands\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844300963","offer_id":39497191751773,"sku":"9783844300963","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/dca6baa1-d718-4181-ac1d-e92fbe91a3fd.jpg?v=1781245118","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/optimal-practices-in-the-afforestation-of-cutaway-peatlands-von-florence-renou-wilson","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
