Publisher's Synopsis
On moorland and heathland soils in Great Britain, nitrogen deficiency can severely restrict the growth of certain conifer species, including Sitka spruce, the main commercial species.;The major difficulty facing forest managers in determining the treatment of a nitrogen deficient stand is deciding whether heather control, application of nitrogen fertilizer, or a combination of both, will yield the most cost-effective response.;This bulletin explains the background to the problem, categories the range of site types involved, and advises on the treatment available.
