Abundant genetic variation and its amenability to other management inputs created special opportunities for its domestication.  The story of its domestication forms a classic case history in the development of modern commercial forestry, with trailblazing in both genetic improvement and plantation management; this inevitably meant a learning process that provided instructive lessons, especially for tree breeders dealing with some other species. Paradoxically, the plantation monocultures have played and can continue to play an important role in protecting natural forests and other forms of biodiversity.  Given the attractions of growing radiata pine, there were inevitably cases of overreach in planting it, with lessons to be learnt.  Economic globalisation has meant globalisation of pests and disease organisms, and the scale on which radiata pine is grown has meant is has been the focus of various biotic alarms, none of which have proved catastrophic.  Temptations, remain, however, to pay less than due attention to some aspects of risk management. The chapter structure of the book is based on historical periods, beginning long before any important human influences, and ending with a look into what the future might hold for the species and its role in human and ecological sustainability.  Almost throughout, there has been complex interplay between the technical aspects, local social and economic factors, various types of institution, the enthusiasm and drive of some very influential individuals, and tides of economic ideology, threads that needed to be woven together to do the story justice. 410 0$aForestry Sciences,$x0924-5480 ;$v83 606 $aForests and forestry 606 $aPlant breeding 606 $aPlant genetics 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aEconomic geography 606 $aForestry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22008 606 $aPlant Breeding/Biotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24060 606 $aPlant Genetics and Genomics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32020 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aEconomic Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000 615 0$aForests and forestry. 615 0$aPlant breeding. 615 0$aPlant genetics. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aEconomic geography. 615 14$aForestry. 615 24$aPlant Breeding/Biotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Genetics and Genomics. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aEconomic Geography. 676 $a634.9751564 700 $aBurdon$b Rowland$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0927856 702 $aLibby$b William$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aBrown$b Alan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253956403321 996 $aDomestication of Radiata Pine$92084602 997 $aUNINA
