New handy little book

[RobRainford]

Found this on eBay, I'm sure others have seen it while searching for 'arborist'!

 

Good little glossary, has pretty much anything you'll need to know in the way of terminology.

Hi Monkey D i'm being rather ignorant, assuming thats something to do with stone cells? Psuedosclerotial has got to be my new favourite word, after osculation that is: shame i dont know what it means.

Hello Dave,

 

where you see the dark zoned lines on cross sections of decayed timber.

These are the 'psudosclerotial plates'

 

Barriers between zones of active decay & competing fungi.

 

For reference, check out pages 78, 85 & 134 of David Lonsdales 'Principles of Tree Hazard Assessment & Management'
