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...

Rehabilitation of degraded forest with Shorea leprosula and S. selanica cuttings
Tropical forests of the Asia-Pacific region are the most heavily threatened from high population density and rapid economic growth. Extensive forest areas have become degraded as a result of over-exploitation and poor management. Unless these degraded forests are rehabilitated, they will come und...

Rehabilitation of tropical rainforests based on indigenous species for degraded areas in Sarawak, Malaysia
Tropical large-scale industrial plantations are rapidly expanding as a source of industrial wood and fuel and are also often used as part of afforestation and reforestation schemes. The article explores how appropriate design and management of natural forest corridors and remnant patches may be u...

Designing sustainable large-scale industrial plantation landscapes: use of natural forest remnants and corridors to maintain biodiversity, retain environmental functions/services, and reduce social tensions between plantation companies and local people
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...

Assessing stakeholder agreements: a new research focus for CIFOR's plantation programme in Southeast Asia
The rapid loss of forest resources from teak plantations in Java is a serious problem that is raising interest in finding new systems of management that will ensure sustained availability of resources. At the same time, all around the world a growing number of stakeholders are becoming involved i...

Development of criteria and indicators for forest plantations from assessment toward communication tools for management
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...
The political transformation in Indonesia, followed by administrative decentralisation through the provision of regional autonomy, has had catastrophic consequences. The decentralisation of forest resource governance and management has engendered a parallel decentralisation of moral hazards such ...

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...
