Many arborists engage in tree work practices without having a comprehensive understanding of the biological and physiological principles that underpin them. However, when arborists possess a deep understanding of the science behind the care of tree root systems and crowns, the outcomes for the health and longevity of trees significantly improve. In Applied Tree Biology, Drs. Hirons and Thomas, with their extensive experience in the laboratory, classroom, and field, alongside the expertise of distinguished contributors to this volume, offer valuable scientific information to those responsible for tree care. This book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, drawing knowledge from plant biology, physiology, arboriculture, ecology, and other relevant fields. It provides a systematic presentation of fundamental tree biology and the scientific principles that guide high-quality tree care practices. The authors aim to make scientific information accessible and practical, empowering professionals and enthusiasts alike to promote the well-being and longevity of trees. With their combined decades of experience as tree biology researchers and educators, as well as their extensive professional experience across the globe, Drs. Hirons and Thomas have authored Applied Tree Biology, which is an indispensable resource for professionals and interested amateurs involved in tree care. Arborists, foresters, and horticulturists at all stages of their careers will find this text particularly valuable.
