Forestry Abstracts, Forest Products Abstracts and Agroforestry Abstracts are now accessed through the CAB Direct platform. Known previously as Forestscience.info, this new platform (September 2009) retains access to contents ranging from 1926 to the past week. There are two appraoches to searching that will sort out specific forestry content, using either Subject Codes (sc:)  or CABICODES. The sc: for the current Forestscience database is TR. The sc: for the archival Forestscience database is XF. To find articles about spruce budworm in the current Forestscience database, the entered search string would be: sc:(TR) and spruce budworm. To find articles about moose in the archival Forestscience database, the search string entered would be: sc:(XF) and (moose or alces alces).

Google Scholar searches a subset of the Web that Google has classified as "scholarly literature". They do not publish a list of chosen sites, and they do not state how often sites are checked. Some important sources are not covered at all. Thus, Google Scholar alone should not be relied on for comprehensive research.

"From acid rain, CFCs, and the greenhouse effect to the food-chain and the gene bank, Oxford's thoroughly up-to-date dictionary provides entries on all aspects of ecology and the environmental sciences. It covers a vast range of subjects, from plant and animal physiology, animal behaviour, evolution, environmental pollution, and conservation to climatology, meteorology, geomorphology, and oceanography. It includes developments in this rapidly evolving field, particularly in the areas of molecular ecology, conservation, and the management of habitats, and has biographical notes on eminent ecologists and other scientists."

For journalists, attorneys, and others who interact with foresters worldwide, this reference to some 4,500 terms used in the broad field of forest science, management, and conservation should be useful. Coverage by about 100 contributors headed by Helms (emeritus, environmental science, policy, and management, U. of California-Berkeley) spans entries from abiotic to zygote. Revises the 1971 Terminology of Forest Science, Technology, Practice, and Products (ed. by F.C. Ford-Robertson), at the Society of American Foresters' recommendation, to include the high-tech terminology of remote sensing, GIS, and photogrammetry.

The language of ecology has grown rapidly and changed extensively over the last decade. From Arrhenotoky to Psammosere; from the One-tailed test to Zoocoenosis, the Blackwell Concise Encyclopedia of Ecology provides concise, non-technical definitions of over 2000 ecological terms, covering the complete spectrum of pure and applied ecological research. The definitions are drawn from the Encyclopedia of Ecology and Environmental Management, and are fully cross-referenced.

Derived from the world-renowned McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, Sixth Edition, this reference offers a wealth of essential information in a portable, convenient, quick-find format. Whether you're a professional, a student, a writer, or a general reader with an interest in science, there is no better or more authoritative way to stay up-to-speed with the current language of environmental science and technology or gain an understanding of its key ideas and concepts.

The Encyclopedia of the Biosphere features comprehensive coverage of the earth's greatest ecosystems, their characteristics and their operations.
