Foreword
Recent years have shown that bamboo silviculture and management is entering a new era. Considering the vast variety of bamboo species, the basic requirement for the purposeful cultivation of bamboo is the knowledge and comprehensive understanding of the growth conditions and characteristics of individual species. As editor of Springer’s Tropical Forestry Series, I am especially pleased to have been able to engage Dr. Ratan Lal Banik as author for a book on bamboo species. He is a proven expert on the subject and has a record of numerous projects and activities in the field of bamboo silviculture in South Asia. With this book, Dr. Banik offers his overwhelming knowledge and expertise to scientists and practitioners. I am confident that the current book will largely meet existing needs and wish it well deserved success. Hamburg, Germany
