Forestry

A report on the potential for smallholders in developing countries to be involved in sequestering carbon in agroforestry systems.

Occurring naturally in Laos, teak is one of the world's finest timbers.

The production of tea-tree oil from Melaleuca species in Australia began some 80 years ago, and the industry has grown steadily, if erratically, since then.

The results published in this report reveal a considerable amount of genetic variation between provenances of Casuarina equisetifolia and provide important information for people interested in agroforestry and fuelwood production in the tropics and subtropics

Eucalypts are of considerable economic, social and environmental importance in southern China

Detection and identification of the causal fungi of heartrot disease is fundamental to effective disease management strategies for heartrot pathogens in tree plantations

This technical report on Chukrasia has been prepared as part of ACIAR forestry project FST/1996/005

This report describes the practical steps necessary to produce controlled cross seed of eucalypts as a means of tailoring plantations for increased vigour and desirable traits such as high wood density, high pulp yield, optimum fibre length, low extractives content and a higher content of essential oils

This report describes results from industrial tree plantation research trials at Teluk Sirih on Pulau Laut, Kalimantan Selatan, Indonesia, where the performance of several eucalypts and acacia species was measured under a range of treatments on land made unproductive by colonisation of Imperata grass (Imperata cylindrica)

Styrax tonkinensis is a fast growing tropical species that occurs naturally in the forests of northern Laos and Vietnam, but is also cultivated in plantations

OUT OF PRINT Manipulation of the genetic composition of a plant via crossing and selection offers the opportunity for improvements in both yield and quality

Training Manual.

Reforestation is recognised as an urgent need in the Philippines following the clearing of most of the native forest cover

These proceedings report on an international workshop held in Kupang, in April 2006, to identify opportunities and constraints to improving livelihoods in East Nusa Tenggara using an integrated rural development approach, and to discuss directions for future activities.

Fast-growing hardwood plantations are increasingly important to the economies of many countries around the Pacific rim. However fungal heart rot and root rot are impacting on the industry.

Peanuts are an important cash crop for many smallholder farmers in Papua New Guinea.

Papers presented at an international workshop in China, April 2003 examine the role of eucalypt species in Asia

This proceedings covers the papers presented at the 5th Pacific Rim Bio-based Composites Symposium that was held in Canberra, Australia on 10 December 2000

Damage from shoot borers of the genus Hypsipyla Ragonot present the greatest deterrent to the establishment and cultivation of the high value timber species belonging to the family Meliaceae, including species of Swietenia, Khaya, Toona and Cedrela

Over the past decade or so there has been growing recognition of the impacts of biomass burning in the wet forests of Indonesia

These proceedings are a record of the papers presented at an international seminar held at Bangalore, India, 18-20 December 1997

Considerable progress has been made during the last three years in developing databases and analytical methods to answer the questions: What tree will grow where and how well will it grow? These proceedings present the results from a workshop held in Bangkok in April 1995

Mycorrhizal associations are an integral part of natural and managed forests

ACIAR has supported collaborative forestry research between China and Australia since 1985

Fast-growing acacias are being used to reforest degraded grasslands and cutover rainforest in the humid tropics

OUT OF STOCK Australian acacias have received attention in recent years because they are proving suitable for reforestation projects in the tropics

These proceedings from a workshop of the International Union of Forest Research Organisations (IUFRO) focus on the seed problems of multipurpose trees

Over the past two decades scientists have learnt a great deal about acacias and their symbiotic micro-organisms and the development of methods to exploit efficient symbioses

ACIAR has supported a project that helps develop domestication strategies for commercially important indigenous tree species in Southeast Asia

This book covers the woody species, which cultivated or wild, produce the great majority of fleshy and non-fleshy fruits of the Pacific.
