| An unusual method is described for raising cuttings of Populus tomentosa for street planting. Cuttings are obtained from branches 2 m long which are buried horizontally 5–10 cm deep. The plants which develop from the buds are separated after 1 yr, by cutting the mother branch between them, and allowed to grow for another 4–5 yr until they reach 6 m in ht. when they are planted out after having been deprived of all branches. Each plant is surrounded by an earth wall to hold irrigation, watering being considered necessary for the first year only. The amenity effect is rapid with such tall plants.

| In India, social forestry (on scattered land where tree-growing is possible) aims to provide fuelwood to replace cow dung; small timber; fodder; protection of agricultural fields from wind and soil erosion; aesthetics; and recreational opportunities. These objectives are examined in terms of farm forestry, rural forestry and urban forestry. The | |
| Borivali Park in Bombay, the Banargatta park in Bangalore, and the Kukrail forest in Lucknow are cited as examples of greenspace. Other amenity planting projects are described. | |

| A detailed account of most aspects of forestry observed by the mission in 6 of the 12 major vegetation regions of China, describing urban forestry, silviculture in the S. (Kwangtung) and NE, and research and education. The main emphasis is on protection forestry, especially the ‘four around’ system of shelterbelts around fields and along roads, rivers etc.; notes are given on 6 poplar species which featured strongly here. In cities, establishment and aftercare is meticulous with local people organizing the tending of most urban plantings. Brief descriptions are given of 2 examples of natural indigenous forest: tropical monsoon rain forest at Dinghushan forest reserve, Guandong [Kwangtung] Province; and mixed conifer and deciduous broadleaf forest at Jinshui reserve, Heilongjiang [Heilungkiang] Province. Many notes are given on nursery practice. Plantation forestry seemed less developed than other forms of tree planting. | |

| Social forestry in India concentrates on creating new firewood resources in rural areas and the planting of trees wherever possible to mitigate floods and the erosion of soil by wind, as well as increasing the supply of small timber and fodder and improving the environment in general. Detailed analyses are made of the economic benefits of examples of the three main components of social forestry: farm forestry on private land; rural forestry on communal land; and urban forestry along streets and roads and in the compounds of houses, colleges and factories. The pioneering social forestry programmes of Gujarat state are described and the difficulties of protecting trees planted on communal land are discussed. (From author's summary.) | |

| A description of the urban and non-urban vegetation of this Pacific atoll, which has been changing rapidly since 1944, when a USA military base was established and the economy began to change from rural to urban. Vegetation surveys were undertaken primarily by aerial photography (in 1944 and 1970) supplemented by tree and shrub surveys on islets/areas selected as representative of isolated, accessible and urbanized states (map provided). Data are tabulated to show: population history; proportions of forest canopy, housing, roads and yards; densities of indigenous, aboriginal (earlier introductions) and recent tree species; and frequency of tree or shrub species (including ornamentals) in relation to distance from lagoon/ocean or houses respectively. Urbanization has resulted in reduction of forest canopy, and of many indigenous and aboriginal understorey species. However, Cocos nucifera and Artocarpus altilis (both aboriginal species) cover non-urban areas as groves; with Tournefortia argentea (indigenous) they are also important species in urban areas. | |

| Cluster analysis of urban forest configuration variables was used to classify census tracts in Waterbury (Connecticut), Pueblo (Colorado) and Eugene (Oregon). Four categories were identified: inner city tracts (small average size, small amounts of space for vegetation); transition tracts (increasing amounts of growing space); residential tracts (large amounts of herbaceous cover and growing space); and suburban tracts (large average size, large amounts of growing space). Within these groups, differences between cities were related to different patterns of development and potential natural vegetation. Broad similarities among the cities (with different development histories) suggest that simplified models of urban spatial structure correspond to general urban forest types, which can be used to develop management options for vegetation and associated resources in urban areas. | |

Faculty of Forestry, Sokoine University of Agriculture, PO Box 3011, Chuo Kikuu, Morogoro, Tanzania. Forest Ecology and Management 1993, Vol 58,(3–4): 249–258. |
| Results are presented of a study carried out in 1990 in a 300-km long area around the road from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro. Charcoal production is practised as a part-time activity by agriculturalists in this area of miombo woodland, and forms a significant contribution to household incomes. Charcoal is produced up to 30 km from the main road, and is an important fraction of the total fuelwood consumption of Tanzania. It has been estimated that 97 of all wood consumed is used for fuelwood, and that this constitutes 91 of the country's total energy consumption. Data collection was done during a 1-yr period designed to cover both rainy and dry seasons. The methodology used to collect data included: field observation; monitoring at a selected forest products checkpoint; and interviews with charcoal makers, traders and consumers. Some parameters used in the calculation of the area cleared to meet the charcoal consumption were taken from related past studies. Household income from charcoal was 34 200 Sh per year and income redistribution flowing from Dar es Salaam to the rural areas was 40 253 400 Sh per year. The total area of miombo forest cleared annually for producing charcoal was 4354 ha, or 1524 km2 in 35 years. Tree species of the genera Terminalia, Combretum, Brachystegia and Dalbergia were identified as sources of high quality charcoal. Both high-stocked and low-stocked woodland areas were felled for charcoal production, and in both cases regeneration of tree species was hindered by human activities, thus increasing the risk of soil erosion. While charcoal remains the most affordable and efficient fuel for poor urban dwellers in the growing city of Dar es Salaam, severe environmental degradation of the surrounding areas will result if no steps are taken to reduce the economic pressures for deforestation. | |

Special issue: Urban energy and environment in Africa (edited by Hosier, R.H.). Energy Policy 1993, Vol 21(5), 559 585. |
| This paper examines the historical, social and political-economic dynamics of environmental policy implementation in Senegal's charcoal market. It explores the relationship between urban demand for charcoal and its rural environmental consequences. It focuses on the ways in which the social and political-economic relations within the market and between the market and state shape production, exchange, regulation, and ultimately social and ecological consequences of charcoal production and use. The article begins by characterizing the patterns of woodfuel (fuelwood and charcoal) supply and use in Senegal and by recounting the historical perception and response to environmental problems associated with the woodfuel trade. It describes the social and economic organization of production and exchange, followed by an analysis of policy implementation. It also shows that where social relations dominate production and exchange, environmental policy making and implementation will be an iterative process. Sustainable resource management is not implemented once and for ever, but will come and go. | |

| A study was conducted of the tree population in private gardens of suburban homes in Fairview Park, a low-density housing estate in a residential area of Hong Kong. The population was analysed in terms of its composition, structure, spatial pattern and tree-habitat relationship. Data were collected through a survey of the front gardens of 1087 houses scattered throughout 18 streets (sampling intensity of 22), with 2345 trees. Most of the 65 species recorded were introduced rather than indigenous. A large proportion of trees were conifers, fruit trees or palms and there were few shade, ornamental foliage or flowering trees. The 10 dominant species (notably Juniperus chinensis) were accompanied by many minor species, mainly of exotic origin, seldom planted elsewhere in Hong Kong. Most trees were small enough for the space provided, but a number of species may become too large in the future. Most gardens held 5 trees; gardens with few trees had a relatively high species diversity and 33 species occurred as solitary specimens only. Distribution by street indicated a clear pattern of spatial congregation, with only 3 species present in all 18 streets. Analysis of tree-habitat association confirmed that the major controlling factor was tree size. Implications for landscape planning and management of the estate, and of similar suburban developments elsewhere, are discussed. | |

| Results are given of a survey during 1990 to determine the number of college urban forestry courses and curricula provided during 1989–90 in the USA, changes since 1975, the number of courses by topic required of students, and graduation and placement rates for urban foresters. Recommendations are made for strengthening urban forestry curricula and issues that must be considered in the near future are identified. The survey showed that urban forestry is an expanding speciality. | |

| The climate, geology, structure and botanical composition of miombo woodlands are briefly described. Productivity and yield are discussed in view of the low rate of growth, which may not exceed 4 m3/ha per annum. Miombo woodland succession, representing either a fire or climatic climax, together with seral stages, is discussed. The historical multipurpose resource use of miombo woodland for shifting cultivation, pastoral and energy use is described, as is the commercial exploitation of Pterocarpus angolensis by forestry authorities. A matrix of miombo woodland resource uses is presented, with 18 options assigned to 3 resource use strategies (‘traditional’, ‘management’ and ‘exploitation’). An exploitation strategy including heavy grazing, large-scale tobacco curing and urban charcoal production is shown to be highly incompatible with other options. Management strategies for miombo woodlands (particularly agroforestry and woodland coppicing systems) are discussed. | |

Held in Glasgow, UK, 16–21 September 1990 (edited by Cape, J.N.; Fowler, D.). Environmental Pollution 1992 Vol 75 (2), 209–213. |
| A study was carried out to determine the chemical composition of bulk precipitation, throughfall and stemflow in a 9.1-ha tropical lowland dipterocarp forest. Mean weekly rainfall recorded during the study was 63.2 mm. Throughfall, stemflow and canopy interception of incident precipitation were 77.1, 1.2 and 21.7 respectively). Bulk precipitation, throughfall and stemflow were acidic (pH 4.37, 4.71 and 4.15 respectively). In all cases the dominant ions were NO3, SO4, Cl, NH4, K, Ca and Na. Of the ions studied, Ca, K, Cl, SO4, Mg and Mn showed net increases in passing through the forest canopy, while NH4, Na, NO3, Zn, H and Fe showed net retention. The urban environment of Kuala Lumpur contributed considerable amounts of materials to the atmosphere, as reflected by the high ionic contents in bulk precipitation, throughfall and stemflow. | |
