A Background to Silviculture in Irish Forestry

O. V. MOONEY

Forestry Division, Republic of Ireland

The writer traces the history of tree species and woodland in Ireland from early times down to the start of state forestry about 1906. He then considers the influence which the availablity of land, the geology, the distribution of forest types, and the climate have had on silviculture since. He discusses the main species used, pure and in mixture, and notes that the type of ground available is the main limiting factor in the choice of species and that the tendency today is towards a very limited range of species in which Picea sitchensis and Pinus contorta have an important part to play.
