    Appreciation of the Chilean forest resource: Plantations of Pinus radiata and Eucalyptus sp. 1985-1996 1998
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This report presents the calculation of the appreciation of the Chilean forest resource for the period 1985-1996. The information comes from statistics given by enterprises and projections realized by the Chilean Forest Institute (INFOR). The calculations only considered exotic forest platations (Pinus radiata and Eucalyptus species) and excluded the native forests. This report shows the methodology used and the outputs of the calculations for each species separately.

    Gains from a good tree improvement program (starting with species/provenance matching to site) can usually result in considerable gain in wood yields from tropical forest plantations. Optimal nursery and silvicultural practices (including seed pre-treatment, application of nitrogen-fixing soil micro-organisms, optimal spacing for defined end use, selection of adequate site, fertilization, and irrigation) can considerably increase such gains further. This report summarizes literature on gains tha t might be expected by implementing tree improvements and optimal silvicultural practices for acacias, eucalypts, teak and pines in tropical areas. Results are presented for each genus in turn, first examining factors common to all the genera, and then focusing on unique factors. The data on tree-growth gains are extremely variable from study to study. They range from virtually no favourable response to tree improvement and optimal silviculture, to gains of many hundreds of percent over c ontrols. This of course complicates the matter of using such data in global fibre supply modelling.

    The report presents some of the general aspects of Madagascar before discussing the three main chapters of the report on eucalyptus plantations. The first part is dedicated to the objectives and the methods used to obtain information for this report. The second part is a synopsis of the results while the third part is more specific and concentrates on exploitation dynamics of eucalyptus in the country. A brief conclusion is given.
