Management of Industrial Forest Plantations

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Management of Industrial Forest Plantations

Part of the book series: Managing Forest Ecosystems ((MAFE,volume 33))

Abstract

This chapter addresses the challenge of developing forest plantations that are financially viable as well as ecologically sustainable. Management requirements to achieve sustainability differ, however, depending on site specific climatic and edaphic characteristics and the needs of the crop. Thus the chapter will focus on the understanding of the principles, aims, strategies and practices relevant to sustainable forest management; on providing knowledge about silvicultural and management practices in fast-growing forest; in providing knowledge of Brazilian forestry as a case aimed at sustainable management of fast-growing eucalypt plantations; on the understanding of the principles and uses of process-based model in the commercial forests
