This book describes the scientific principles that are used throughout the world to ensure the rapid, healthy growth of forest plantations. As the population of the world increases so does the amount of wood people use. Large areas of natural forests are being cleared every year and converted to other uses. Almost as large an area of plantation forests

Inventory of Forest Plantations
2013We review the research related to the application of inventory techniques utilizing airborne laser scanning (ALS) in intensively managed forest plantations. The single tree detection and area based methods originally developed in more complex forest types were found to be no less effective in plantation forests for the estimation of important stand ...

Forest Plantations in Northern Minnesota
Journal of Forestry, 1946Abstract A study by the author of coniferous plantations in northern Minnesota showed that they are usually successful in old fields, on recent severe burns, and on brush-free sandy soils. Deer and rabbits do much damage, but hazel brush is the most difficult factor with which the planter has to contend.

Forest Plantations in the Tropics
1999Abstract Past and continuing destruction of natural forests in the tropics have made forest plantations desirable and often necessary. Tropical forests have long been cleared for other uses or severely damaged by human use. This destruction shows few signs of abating.

Forest Plantations in Puerto Rico
1995Many facets of forest plantation establishment and management have been explored during the 50-year history of the Institute of Tropical Forestry. Little was known until recently about the extent and nature of forest plantations in Puerto Rico. About 4000 ha of plantations located largely on state and federal lands have been noted.

Saproxylic invertebrates in plantation forests
2011The conversion of natural forests to production land uses has led to huge losses of biodiversity and continues to threaten remaining terrestrial flora and fauna throughout the world. The global demand for wood products and energy, which was partly responsible for the loss of primary native habitat, is now one of the leading drivers of afforestation ...
