The Silviculture Research Code

Abstract

WORKERS in the biological sciences need statistical methods as a tool in the ascertainment of results to, be derived from experimentation ; in particular when experiments are of the field order, modern applications to the design and analysis of experiments, mainly the work of R. A. Fisher, are essential. The question then arises whether certain standard texts are sufficient, or whether there is need for a book dealing with methods particular to the special field. The "Silviculture Research Manual" of 1931 is out of date, and it has been decided to publish a new "Code" in three volumes. The opportunity has been taken to expand the treatment of statistics from a single chapter, by H. G. Champion, in the former manual to an entire volume which, although vol. 2 of the "Code", is the first to be published.
