Arb-Mycota what do you want from books?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Hi Hama, just clear info, need to know stuff, without a story, that can be used as reference material- in large print and simply written, my eyes are very bad and i think im not alone, good example - maual of wood decays in trees , by K.Weber,C.Mattheck its a great field book an does the job also try to keep the cost down ,you know how much money we all make:lol:hope that helps

 

Do you not think that the manual of decays and the AA fungal guide have filled the field guide needs?

 

It would be a simple task to produce a PDF version covering more species and implications, is that really all you need?

[Dilz]

one thing i would be interested in finding more about on is the effect of different fungi and pathogens on different species, having observed that where one tree species being infected with say ganoderma will barely show any signs of decay where as other species appear to suffer greater damage.

They do to some extent, you asked and i gave my view, i havent come across one arb book which answers all my questions i always have to cross ref a number of books, all the ones we all use are good and the ones mentioned, but all lack something, they for another word are not the full package. A Climbers version and perspective taking into account current uk legislation aswell and most common uk native species could be interesting, could your version be the one? there will always be slightly different veiws on things, in arb nothing is black and white, stick to your own formulated views and dont be offended by the views of others:thumbup1:

This subject has caused much heated debate on UKTC, the arguments are that one must not make assumptions from field observations without scientific validation and research to validate them. That is a very slow proscess.

 

I can understand why it must be this way, but it fustrates me.

i did look into that self publish route.

 

and i agree, it MUST be done.

"Would you be interested in the red data list species for ecology conservation for example?"

 

This and maybe habitat types so you can at least know what potential species you could be disturbing and where.

very good points guys.

Hi ADB328, Scottythepinetree,Hama, are we talking easyread field books SPECIFIC for Arbs and students? or along the lines of Diagnosis and prognosis of the development of Wood Decay in Urban Trees? who no one can afford to buy? i just thought a really good field book wood do the job ,as iv discribed before.
