RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The Challenging Future for Arboricultural Research JF Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) FD International Society of Arboriculture SP 141 OP 144 DO 10.48044/jauf.1982.034 VO 8 IS 6 A1 Henry F. Davis YR 1982 UL http://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/8/6/141.abstract AB The purpose of this presentation is to discuss research needs as they relate to ongoing procedures within the arboricultural field. By outlining present and past examples of need, the paper will show that better communication between practicing arborists and research scientists is a necessity, as is more effective funding and general support. The cutback in federal financial support puts it squarely up to the practicing arborist to support useful field research.
