Silvicultural management of bamboo in the Philippines and Australia for shoots and timber: Proceedings of a workshop held in Los Baños, the Philippines, 22-23 November 2006

"There is a push at the national and international levels to (re)introduce perennial species into cropping and ‘at-risk’ lands, capitalising upon their more notable ecosystem service properties of containing soil and water erosion, protecting soil carbon reserves and sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide on a real-time basis. ...The peer-reviewed papers contained herein provide an opportunity to fully report on the research. They will act as a valuable resource for people interested in the sustainable production and use of bamboo."--p. 3.
