| 要約: | Peninsular Malaysia is expected to face a timber deficit
before the end. of the century. the compensatory Forest
Plantation Project now undertaken as a remedial measure for
this impending crisis needs research in plantation management
perticularly on silvicultural practices such as thinning and
pruning. thinning needs primary attention in plantation
forestry if the management objective is sawlog production. The
present study focusses mainly on the determination of
reasonable age for first thinning in Acacia mangium plantation
in Peninsular Malaysia. In addition to the preliminary thinning
study, pruning trials and evaluation of growth pattern of
Acacia mangium in different aged stands and on different sites
were also conducted. three sites, that is, Kemasul in Pahang, Setul in Negeri Sembilan and Rantau Panjang in Selangor
were chosen for the study. |
