Plantation silviculture in New Zealand: establishment, tending, and harvest preparation of forestry tree crop species in even-aged, single-species stands for the management of wood and non-wood products.
This course will explore how our most important plantation forestry species can be trained to grow in a way that satisfies the needs of both domestic and export log markets, as well as other timber and non-timber forest product markets. The science and processes behind this growth are investigated so that key decisions on what tree crop species to plant, where to plant them, how to plant them, and the best way to care for them until harvest can be made. Societal and ecological considerations that factor into silvicultural decisions are also explored and discussed.
