At two sites, where Eucalyptus grandis plantations were 7 and 12 years old, twelve dominant trees were cut and measured. The 12-year-old-trees were 29.4 m mean height, 19.9 cm diameter over bark and estimated volume 0.40 m3 tree-1. The 7 year-old trees were 30.7 m mean height, 20.6 cm diameter an...

The total amount of industrial plantations around the world is still small compared with the total are of global forests, but plantation forestry in the tropics is expected to increase quickly because of growing demand for timber and the depletion of wood from natural forests. Forestry plantation...

Approximately 25 millon people live in the main forested regions of Latin America. The forestry sector there directly provides two or three million jobs and perhaps another three or four million people work in related activities. Many poor households use fuelwood, hunt wild animals, and benefit f...

This paper highlights how early experience gained in north Queensland rainforests provided input to the development of Pacific island codes and the code of conduct for logging of indigenous forests in selected South Pacific countries in the mid-1990s. In a number of these countries, the developme...
