Items related to Moorland Management: For Agriculture, Conservation...
'Moorland' makes up the largest single vegetation type in the United Kingdom. It is internationally important culturally and nationally valuable for agriculture, conservation and field sports. Over the past half-century, many aspects have been subjected to detailed scientific study so the scale and depth of knowledge about this area is greater than ever before. However, as mans' understanding has increased, management standards have tended to decline in many places and there are fewer people living in the uplands with the knowledge and skills necessary to make the moorland system work properly in practice and on a sustainable basis. In Moorland Management John Phillips draws together proven expertise and management tactics for the benefit of those responsible for this wonderful land-type to carry forward into the twenty-first century.

Book Description Condition: new. (Hardcover, 2012 ). 2012 1st edition. 8vo (159 x 240mm). Pp304. Colour and b/w photographs, extensive bibliography / references. Maroon boards, spine titled in gilt. Fine new copy in dust-wrapper. Moorland ecology and management have been studied intensively in recent decades, bringing new understanding to an area where management practices have often been progressively deteriorating. This is especially the case in picturesque and accessible areas where, to a large proportion of the population, the moorland itself is simply the view. In this timely publication, John Phillips surveys contemporary research and suggests how its lessons might be applied in a directly practical manner. This book is addressed to graziers, gamekeepers and conservationists, who share the common goal of maintaining the vigour of the British highland ecosystem in order to ensure its carrying capacity for the range of species in which each profession interests itself. Also published in a de luxe leather-bound edition limited to only fifteen signed and numbered copies. See our stock number 28772. PREVIOUS PRICE £50.00. Seller Inventory # 27117
