“FORWOOD” In the period 1937 to 2000, global demand for all wood products increased, but the forest resources of the world decreased. The biggest impact on species plantings in that period has been an upsurge globally, in the establishment of the fast-growing, short-rotation species in the genera Eucalyptus spp. and Acacia spp for short fibred pulpwood stock. This was due to the research work undertaken by Australian forest researchers from Boas in 1918 to Benjamin and his assistant R B Jeffreys during the 1930’s. They found that short fibred eucalypt pulp made commercial paper. The Australian researchers showed the important factor was not the length of the fibre but the rela tionship of the fibre length to the fibre thickness. Ball6 1993 noted that the rate of forest plantation establishment has increased sharply in the past decade, particularly in Asia and the Pacific, and species of Eucalyptus have been among the most important components of such plantation programmes. Total world roundwood production was predicted to grow to 4.1 billion cubic metres by the year 2000 (Gauthier7, 1991). FRA 2000 estimated the total roundwood harvest to be some 3.3 billion cubic metres. Although accounting for only 5 percent of global forest cover, forest plantations were estimated in the year 2000 to supply about 35 percent of global roundwood. Total world roundwood production was predicted to grow to some 6.6 billion cubic metres by the year 2025 (Sharma8, 1992). Some of the demand will be met from managed natural forests but that resource will have been diminished by an unknown but probably considerable amount due to forest destruction and degradation in the tropics. The difference between supply from the natural forests and demand must be met from planted trees. Trees in well managed plantations have considerable production potential. Globally, the main fast-growing, short-rotation species are in the genera Eucalyptus spp. and Acacia spp. Pines and other coniferous species are the main medium-rotation utility species, primarily in the temperate and boreal zones. Of the estimated 187 million hectares of plantations worldwide (FAO9), 30 countries of the world account for 93 % (173 million ha).

The top ten countries with the largest forest plantation development account for 79% of the global forest plantation development area. Six of these countries, accounting for 56 % of global forest plantations are in Asia. (NB USA 9%). Source FAO 2000 Asia had by far the largest area, accounting for 62 percent of the world total. In terms of composition, Pinus spp. (20 percent) and Eucalyptus spp. (10 percent) remain the dominant genera worldwide, although the diversity of species planted was found to be increasing. Many estimates predict that by 2050, 50% of the world's industrial roundwood supply will be sourced from fast-growing industrial plantations and that only 5% will be derived from unmanaged natural forests. Most of these fast-growing plantations will be in the tropics and sub-tropics where climatic conditions are particularly favourable for the species involved. If these predictions prove correct, concerns over the impact of forest harvesting and trade will shift to how plantations are run and how natural forests that are not used for timber production can be protected effectively. Constraints facing global plantation development to meet future global wood supply include shortage of available and sufficiently fertile land, shortage of investment capital and the weakness of existing institutions to manage long term plantation developments. Unfortunately, the politics of plantations are the main and intractable constraint to their development, and in no case is it more so than with the use of species of the genus Eucalyptus in plantation programmes.

WOOD AND WOOD FIBRE PRODUCTION PERIOD 1937 to 2000 FAO10 reported that when the Second World War ended (1945), there were great requirements for wood and wood fibre products. Fuelwood still had to replace coal in many countries which once they could import that commodity. Sawnwood was essential for reconstruction work, and wood pulp and its derivatives were needed. Plywood, veneers, and board were in great demand. Electrification and improvement of the railway network resulted in an increased demand for posts, poles, and sleepers although in some countries electric fencing and steel or concrete sleepers and pylons were tending to displace wood. World Production Roundwood, Fuelwood, Industrial Roundwood 1937/38 to 1954 in millions of cubic metres.

The above table compares production of the world's forests from pre-second world war levels of 1937/38. (in million cubic metres) to total recorded removals of roundwood from the period 1946 to 1954. The gradual increase in the volume of wood production from nearly 1,300 million cubic meters in 1946 to about 1,500 million cubic meters by 1954 reflects mainly a greater output of wood destined for industrial uses, from 614 million cubic meters in1946 to 828 million in 1954.

The relative production of fuelwood tended to decline so that industrial wood represented an increasing share of total fellings.

In Europe, the level of total roundwood production immediately after the war considerably exceeded the volume warranted by traditional silvicultural practices. As economic conditions improved, fellings were gradually decreased to a level which seemed better to correspond to the sustained productive capacity of Europe's forests. At the same time, there was a spectacular fall in the volume of wood cut for fuel, from 155 million cubic meters in 1946 to only some 95 million cubic meters in 1954. Industrial roundwood cut rose by almost 12 percent during this period, from 145 million cubic meters to about 163 million cubic meters. The continuation of the war-time expansion of forest industries in North America saw roundwood removals rise from 348 million cubic meters in 1946 to 370 million cubic meters in 1954, accompanied by a decline of some 14 percent in the volume of reported fuelwood production. More and more wood served as industrial raw material, in 1954 about 84 percent of the figure cited above. The Soviet Union was the world's largest timber producer before the war, but production in 1946 was 12 million cubic meters less than the pre-war output. The reconstruction effort and industrial expansion gradually resulted in an increased volume of fellings and the cut in 1954 apparently considerably exceeded the immediate pre-war level. Exploitation was increasingly extended into the northern parts of the country and into Siberia. The planned figure for roundwood fellings in 1954 was 435 million cubic meters, a figure which meant a rise in the volume of industrial roundwood produced during the period under review of close to 74 percent, and a 40 percent rise in fuelwood fellings. This increased production followed the trend in other regions; in fact, the proportion of fuelwood in total removals declined from 50 percent in 1946 to 40 percent in 1954. During the war years, considerable encouragement was given to developing forest industries in certain countries of Latin America. Total roundwood output in 1946 was 10 percent above pre-war and a further 8 percent rise was recorded in 1949. Thereafter, output declined, reflecting a reduction in fuelwood cut, but the total volume regained the 1946 level in 1954 when the output of industrial wood which earlier only represented some 10 to 12 percent of

the region's total fellings, reached just 200 percent of the pre-war figure and exceeded the 1846 level by one-third. In Africa, the recorded output of roundwood in 1946 was 28 percent higher than before the war and, after a fall in 1947 and 1948, climbed higher to 39 percent above the pre-war level. Industrial timber had only represented a very small percentage of the total wood output - 2 percent before the war, 4 percent in 1946 and 7 percent in 1954; but the increase of production that has occurred, though small in volume, is high percentagewise: in 1953/54, 300 percent over the thirties. The war induced a heavy increase in both timber and fuelwood output and after the war there was a strong drive to develop new forest industries in the dependent territories of European powers. In Asia, the dislocation of the war led to a large drop in timber output. Despite this region's great needs, arising both from increasing industrial activities and ever-growing populations, the reported volume of roundwood production had by 1954 only slightly exceeded the prewar level. Fuelwood production apparently did not change during the years under review but output of industrial roundwood rose by some 15 million cubic meters, or by 38 percent, still, of course, quite insufficient to meet requirements. The expansion of timber output, started in the Pacific area during the war, continued at a steady pace. Production of industrial roundwood rose by over 71 percent from 1946 to 1954 while the output of fuelwood remained steady. World Production of Industrial Roundwood 1937-1954. Source FAO. Year

In the developing regions of Latin America, Africa and the Pacific Area, the big increase has been in the output of sawlogs, while the output of pulpwood and pitprops has not greatly changed. This is to be expected since sawmilling has in the past generally been the first stage in the growth of forest industries in new areas. The more complex industries, particularly pulp and paper, have followed rather far behind. The increase in Asia's apparent total production of industrial roundwood was almost entirely due to the rising output of Japan, the other countries of the region accounting only for a minor 7

amount. But Asia is a region too vast and diverse to recognize general trends. The only country which can be discussed in detail is Japan where considerable wood-using industrial capacity, especially sawmills, already existed before the war. The available raw material supplies have since the war had to meet simultaneously heavy demands for sawnwood, for pitprops and for pulpwood. The pulpwood demand was especially strong from 1952 onwards, from many newly established pulp and paper mills. With better use of the available forest resources, much of the demand was able to be met but the sawmills inevitably suffered to the gain of the pulp industries which yield a greater economic profit. World Production of Wood and Wood Fibre Products. 1954. Source FAO. The diagram shows how the production of; the main wood-based commodities developed in the period under review. While removals of all industrial wood, as compared with the pre-war level, rose by close to 50 percent, sawnwood production increased by some 40 percent, wood pulp and pulp products by about 70 percent, and fibreboard and plywood trebled. These figures reflect largely the changes in the industrial demand for roundwood as a raw material, although wood waste has been used increasingly for fibreboards.

Global Production and Trade in Wood and Wood Fibre Products in 2000. By 2000, global demand for all wood products had increased, but the forest resources of the world had decreased. Total world roundwood production was predicted to grow by 1.9% yearly, to reach 4.1 billion cubic metres by the year 2000 (Gauthier, 1991). FRA 2000 estimated the total roundwood harvest to be some 3.3 billion cubic metres. By the year 2025 total roundwood production is predicted to be some 6.6 billion cubic metres (Sharma, 1992). Some of the demand will be met from managed natural forests but that resource will have been diminished by an unknown but probably considerable amount due to forest destruction and degradation in the tropics. Forest tree plantations will have to meet the shortfall in supply unable to be met from the natural forests.

IMPACT ON GLOBAL PLANTATION DEVELOPMENT DUE TO AUSTRALIAN EUCALYPT PULPING RESEARCH The paper making industry in the Australian colonies was founded on rag and waste paper. Donath12 reported that in Sydney in 1818 newsprint was made from waste rags. In Melbourne in 1868 a paper mill began operations using imported wood pulp as well as waste paper and rags. Some wheat straw was pulped. Globally papermaking was based on the use of softwoods because their fibres were longer than that of hardwoods and easier to felt together to produce a strong sheet of paper. Because the world’s pulping industry was based on softwood forests of Europe and the Americas, the Australian papermaking industry remained static for decades. During World War One, (1915-1918) Australia’s dependence on overseas supplies of softwood wood pulp caused serious shortages in the Australian paper industry. High international freight costs meant wood pulp was not available. Research work undertaken by Australian forest researchers from Boas in 1918 to Benjamin and his assistant R B Jeffreys during the 1930’s found that short fibred eucalypt pulp made commercial paper. The Australian researchers showed the important factor was not the length of the fibre but the relationship of the fibre length to the fibre thickness. The research undertaken to use short fibred eucalypt pulps to replace imported long fibred softwood pulp in the 1930’s represented a major technological triumph for Australia. At the same time, technology changes from cereal straw, rags and other waste products to wood meant as in Europe and North America in the late 1800’s shifted the location of pulp and paper mills to areas of wood resources. Similarly in Australia coupled with the results of eucalypt pulping research, from 1938 on, three large integrated pulp and paper mills had begun production in Australia close to large eucalypt wood resources – 1938 Burnie Tasmania, 1939 Maryvale Victoria and 1941 Boyer Tasmania. The biggest impact globally on species plantings in the period 1937-2000, has been an upsurge in the establishment of the fast-growing, short-rotation species in the genera Eucalyptus spp. and Acacia spp for short fibred pulpwood stock.

ATTRIBUTES OF WOOD AND WOOD FIBRE APPLICABLE TO GLOBAL PLANTATION DEVELOPMENT 13

Wood is a porous and fibrous structural tissue found in the stems and roots of trees and other woody plants. It is an organic material –a natural composite of cellulose fibres that are strong in tension and embedded in a matrix of lignin that resists compression. Source Qld Forestry ForEd Project 1982-1985.

Wood is renewable, has a variety of species and colours, workability, highly versatile, relatively light in weight, yet has good strength in both tension and compression; and provides rigidity, toughness, buoyancy and insulating properties. It can be bent or twisted into special shapes, and it is readily worked, fastened, and finished. The finished surface is pleasant to the touch and the visual patterns provided can be of great beauty. Source Qld Forestry ForEd Project 1982-1985.

The plant vascular system is comprised of two main types of tissue: the xylem and the phloem. The xylem distributes water and dissolved minerals upward through the plant, from the roots to the leaves and provides physical support. The phloem carries food

downward from the leaves to the roots. The word xylem is derived from the Ancient Greek word ξύλον (xylon), meaning "wood"; the best-known xylem tissue is wood, though it is found throughout the plant.

Despite their name, all hardwoods are not hard (balsa is a hardwood) and some softwoods are hard. In the plant kingdom, hardwoods are angiosperms (flowering plants – broad leaved plants) and softwoods are gymnosperms (cone-bearing plants usually with needle like leaves). Source Qld Forestry ForEd Project 1982-1985. Softwoods (make long fibred pulp) have a simple wood structure where most of the wood consist of tracheids – long narrow cells up to 7 mm long. Tracheids functions include – conducting water and nutrients up from the roots, supporting the tree and providing physical support and strength. Source Qld Forestry ForEd Project 1982-1985.

Hardwoods (make short fibred pulp) have a more complex wood structure. Vessels are long hollow pipes consisting of wide short cells stacked one above the other. These hollow vessels carry water and nutrients up from the roots. Fibres are the strength giving cells. They are short (about 1 mm long and usually thick walls). Their only function is to support the tree. They are the most numerous cells in the hardwood stem. Source Qld Forestry ForEd Project 1982-1985.

Wood fibres are the cellulosic elements that are extracted from the wood of trees and used to make materials in the modern composite pulp and paper industry due to their specific characteristics (including paper products as paper, paperboard, tissue, cardboard etc, and feedstock to produce purified cellulose and its derivatives, such as cellophane and cellulose acetate.). Outcomes of the 1918-1930’s Australian eucalypt pulping research work demonstrated that pulps from long fibred fibre softwoods were not superior to pulps obtained from short fibred eucalypt pulp. Further testing showed: • • • •

that the age of the wood was just as important as the species of tree . the area where the species grew was of paramount importance – e.g., young E. regnans from Eastern Victoria was much superior to that from Southern Tasmania. fine printing papers could be made from several eucalypt species. by adding some long fibre pulp to the pulp made from Australian eucalypts, excellent newsprint could be made for high-speed printing presses.

Some advantages of short fibred eucalypt pulp- Bootle 14 1971. • • • • • •

The shorter fibres permit a more even spread of material during production. Long fibres tend to become entangled more readily giving a greater degree of flocculation. Eucalypt fibres are finer producing a paper with a smoother surface. For a given tensile strength paper from eucalypt fibres has greater opacity that that from long fibred softwoods. Eucalypt fibres are higher in density than softwood fibres and produce a bulkier sheet of paper. Hence a sheet of paper meeting a certain requ irement as to its thickness can be made from a smaller amount of fibrous material. Kraft pulps from lower density eucalypts develop better bursting strength than softwood kraft pulps. Hardwoods contain less lignin than softwoods which means less chemicals required during pulping.

Some advantages of long fibred softwood pulp - Bootle 1971. • •

The longer fibres distribute high stress concentrations more effectively, so paper produced from them has higher tearing strength. Softwood pulp has much more resistance to repeated folding of the paper.

GLOBAL PLANTATION DEVELOPMENT 1937-2000 Until FRA 2000, the quality of data held in the FAO planted forest database (PFDB) had been found to be insufficiently reliable, outdated, inconsistent and weak. Annual planting rates are inconsistent where provided, as unclear whether for afforestation or reforestation. Del Lungo15 2003 undertook an analysis of the most reliable data collected in the PFDB. It shows the main trends according to different regions. The following is pertinent information to plantation developments over the period 1937-2000.

Forest area is the sum of natural forests and plantations. Source: Calculated from FAOSTAT on-line database (2002) and FAO (2001c).

FAO defined forested land as land with tree crown cover greater than 10% and a mature tree height exceeding 5 metres on over 0.5 hectares (FAO 2001c). Based on this definition, the total area of forests in the world today is estimated at 3.87 billion hectares or almost 30% of the global land area (above table). It can also be seen from the table that forests in tropical countries6 account for 48% of the world's forests, covering 39% of that climatic region's land area. Forests in temperate and boreal countries comprise 52% of the world's forests and cover 25% of that climatic region's land area. Approximately 95% of the total forest area is natural forest, the remaining 5% comprising plantations of various sorts (both softwood and hardwood). Plantations account for 4% of forested areas in tropical countries and 6% of forested areas in temporal and boreal regions. The main areas of plantation are in China, East and South Asia and the former USSR.

FAO 2001 Global Forest Resources Assessment 2000 Main report ISSN 0258-6150 FAO FORESTRY PAPER 140

FAO defined forest plantations as “forest stands established by planting and/or seeding in the process of afforestation or reforestation....” Because of their increasing significance as a supply of fibre for wood industries, rubber (Hevea spp.) plantations were included as forest plantations for the first time. Despite the high losses of the world’s natural forests at the global level, new forest plantation areas are being established at the reported rate of 4.5 million hectares per year, with Asia and South America accounting for more new plantations than the other regions. The dramatic market-led shift in the origin of forest production towards plantation and seminatural forest types has two contrasting implications for the sustainability of forest management. •

•

It is much easier to manage plantation and semi-natural forests sustainably than comparable complex natural forests (and especially diverse tropical forests) - so the there is an increasing likelihood that the timber from production forests will come from a sustainable origin. The much greater intensity and efficiency of forest production in relatively tiny plantation and semi-natural forest areas may leave extensive remaining tracts of natural forest below the minimum threshold for economically viable production (18Macqueen 2001). In the absence of other mechanisms to attribute value to those natural forests, forest clearance for alternative land uses and/or the lucrative, unsustainable, and possibly illegal creaming of timber resources become rational (although perhaps undesirable) economic alternatives.

Global Plantation Issues and Trends The Changing Origin of Forest Production: Natural and Planted Forests Historically, most of the timber production has come from natural forests in both temperate and boreal regions and tropical and subtropical regions. Timber has been sourced both from sustainably (and unsustainably) managed forests and from land clearance. The clearance of forest land has its origins in land use competition. Land use competition is most pronounced in areas made accessible by transport infrastructure - some of which has been developed explicitly to enable forest harvesting, some of which has been developed for agricultural or other forms of land use settlement. Using evidence from both satellite and sociological data it has been shown that "increased road density in a country leads to more deforestation in that country and in neighbouring countries" (Pfaff 199619) - a fact explaining recent reactions towards new infrastructure development programmes in forested areas (Nepstad20 et al. 2000).

London, UK: International Institute for Environment and Development. 19 Pfaff, A.S.P. 1996. What drives deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon? Evidence from satellite and socioeconomic data.

Belém, Brasil: Instituto de Pesquisa Ambiental da Amazônia.

The development of transport infrastructure has not occurred uniformly across all forested regions, it being a function of many factors such as policy direction, population density and the stage of economic development. As a result, timber extraction has historically been focused on more populous and developed regions such as temperate Europe and more recently South East Asia and less so in areas such as the Brazilian Amazon and Central Africa. Large areas of boreal forest also have limited accessibility because of their distance from transport infrastructure. Worldwide as much as 43% of the forest area is beyond 10km from major transport infrastructure and is therefore not likely to be economically accessible. In South America this proportion increases to 60%. In Europe, this proportion is relatively high at 47% because of the large areas of boreal forest. It can be observed that in most regions it is the economic restrictions implied by remoteness that have the greatest effect on availability rather than the protected area status or altitude. Political and economic concern over the increasing inaccessibility of remaining natural forest resources, and the cost of sustainable management in them, coupled with the continuing expansion of the global market for timber, have enhanced the economic viability of plantations and semi-natural forests. Semi-natural forests are common within but by no means exclusive to temperate and boreal zones. They are typically monoculture stands, but occasionally contain more than one species, managed like plantations, but whose regeneration occurs naturally rather than through plantation. The area of plantations has consequently increased rapidly since the 1980s, and now corresponds to 5% of total forest area and 8.5% of economically accessible forest. The following table shows the regional breakdown of plantation area and planting rates. Asia is currently the dominant region for plantations, accounting for 62% of the world's total plantation area. As the extent of annual planting in Asia is much higher than anywhere else, corresponding to 78% of the global total, the concentration of plantations in this region is likely to continue.

FAO (1998) estimates that the current plantation area in the southern hemisphere has a potential annual growth of 1.1 bn m3 (approximately 70% of current industrial timber production). As such plantation areas mature, it is widely anticipated that there will be a continuing dramatic shift in the origin of timber supply towards plantation areas (21Evans 1999). 22

Sedjo and Botkin (1997) estimated that current demand for industrial roundwood could be met by plantations on as little as 1.5 m km2 of land, approx. 4% of current global forest area. These estimates predict that by 2050, 50% of the world's industrial roundwood supply will be sourced from fast-growing industrial plantations and that only 5% will be derived from unmanaged old growth forests. Most of these fast-growing plantations will be in the tropics and sub-tropics where climatic conditions are particularly favourable for the species involved. If these predictions prove correct, concerns over the impact of forest harvesting and trade will shift to how plantations are run and how natural forests that are not used for timber production can be protected effectively.

Source: Sedjo23 (2001) The difference between supply from the natural forests and demand must be met from planted trees. Trees in plantations have considerable production potential. Globally, the main fast-growing, short-rotation species are in the genera Eucalyptus spp. and Acacia spp. Pines and other coniferous species are the main medium-rotation utility species, primarily in the temperate and boreal zones. The potential for forest plantations to partially meet demand from natural forests for wood and fibre for industrial uses is increasing.

Of the estimated 187 million hectares of plantations worldwide (FAO24), Asia had by far the largest area, accounting for 62 percent of the world total. In terms of composition, Pinus spp. (20 percent) and Eucalyptus spp. (10 percent) remain the dominant genera worldwide, although the diversity of species planted was found to be increasing. Although accounting for only 5 percent of global forest cover, forest plantations were estimated in the year 2000 to supply about 35 percent of global roundwood. Ball25 1993 noted that the rate of forest plantation establishment has increased sharply in the past decade, particularly in Asia and the Pacific, and species of Eucalyptus have been among the most important components of such plantation programmes. If the solution to the problem of wood supply is so simple, one wonders what are the problems to prevent it from being put into effect? Unfortunately, there are many constraints. Shortage of land that is both available and sufficiently fertile is one, shortage of money and the weakness of existing institutions are others. These could be overcome if the will is there. Unfortunately, the politics of plantations are the main and intractable constraint to their development, and in no case is it more so than with the use of species of the genus Eucalyptus in plantation programmes. Nevertheless, the eucalypts have great potential for wood production as well as for the provision of some services, which could be increased through tree improvement or biomass plantations. Plantation programmes could be promoted using incentives, as has happened elsewhere in the world. No plantation programmes, with Eucalyptus species or any other, can succeed, however, without awareness of the political processes necessary for success, including reliable information, participation in decision-making and management by rural people and careful planning and evaluation of the social consequences of environmental or economic effects. Several countries have already invested heavily in forest plantations to meet the demand for some forest products. Chile, New Zealand, Brazil, Spain, and Portugal are examples of countries with plantation programmes aimed at the export market, and the eucalypts are important components of the programmes especially in the last three mentioned. Plantations in both Brazil and Argentina, for instance, produce 60% of the country's industrial roundwood but comprise only 2% of the forest area, (26Pandey, 1992) and Brazilian exports accounted for 2.8% of the world market for pulp and paper in 1988 (27Gauthier 1991). About 70 percent of new plantations, or 3.1 million hectares per year, are successfully established.

Although accounting for only 5 percent of global forest cover, forest plantations were estimated by FAO in the year 2000 to supply about 35 percent of global roundwood. Globally: •

Half the forest plantation estate is for industrial end-use, provide the raw material for wood processing for commercial purposes, including timber for construction, panel products and furniture, and pulpwood for paper. One quarter of the forest plantation estate is for non-industrial end-use plantations aimed for example at supplying fuelwood, providing soil and water conservation, wind protection, biological diversity conservation and other non-commercial purposes One quarter of the forest plantation estate uses are not specified.

Industrial plantations (producing wood or fibre for supply to wood processing industries) accounted for 48 percent of the global forest plantation estate and non-industrial plantations (e.g., for provision of fuelwood or soil and water protection) for 26 percent. The purpose of the remaining 26 percent is unclear. The extent of plantations in industrialized countries was less clear than in developing countries. Many industrialized countries make no distinction between planted and natural forests in their inventories. The top ten countries with the largest forest plantation development account for 79% of the global forest plantation development area. Six of these counties, accounting for 56 % of global forest plantations are in Asia. (NB. USA 9 %). Source FAO 2000.

The potential for forest plantations to partially meet demand from natural forests for wood and fibre for industrial uses is increasing. According to FRA 2000, global forest plantation area accounts for only 5% of global forest cover and the industrial forest plantation estate for less than 3%. Forest plantations were estimated in the year 2000 to supply about 35% of global roundwood, with anticipated increase to 44% by 2020. In some countries forest plantation production already contributes most of the industrial wood supply. E.g., Forest plantations in New Zealand met 99% of the needs for industrial roundwood in the country in 1997; the corresponding figure in Chile was 84%, Brazil, 62% and Zambia and Zimbabwe, 50% each. Key Findings of FRA29 2000 Broadleaf species account for 40% of global forest plantation resources, conifers, 31% and not specified, 29%. In terms of genera composition, Pinus (20 percent) and Eucalyptus (10 percent) remain dominant genera world-wide, although overall diversity of species planted was shown to be increasing compared to 1990.

Regional plantation area by purpose and ownership. The purpose and ownership of forest plantations varies markedly between regions. Industrial plantations provide the raw material for wood processing for commercial purposes, including timber for construction, panel products and furniture, and pulpwood for paper. In contrast, non-industrial plantations are aimed for example at supplying fuelwood, providing soil and water conservation, wind protection, biological diversity conservation and other noncommercial purposes. In many countries, particularly in the developing world, the end purpose of the plantations is not clearly defined at the outset. In some of these cases, valuable tree resources are established which coincidentally match future needs. However, in others 43

the lack of planning may result in plantations which have little commercial value and a low potential for local use.

Forest industrial plantation ownership is public, 27%; private, 24%; other, 20% and not specified, 29%. Global End Use Forest Plantations Produce. Source FAO 2000 Globally, 48% of the forest plantation estate is for industrial end-use; 26% for non-industrial (fuelwood, soil, and water conservation, other); and 26% is not specified. Industrial plantation resources are dominated by China, India, and USA, while non-industrial plantation resources are dominated by China, India, Thailand, and Indonesia. Industrial plantations are 34% publicly owned, 29% privately owned and 37% other or unspecified. Within non-industrial plantations, 41% are publicly owned, 37% are privately owned and 22% are other or unspecified.

Genus Pinus Burley and Barnes (2004)30 noted that there are virtually no natural pine forests in the southern hemisphere. It is not surprising, therefore, that the tropical pines have been used most extensively as exotics in the southern tropics, where some 6 million ha of plantations have been established to produce structural lumber and long-fibered pulp for particleboard, kraft paper, and newsprint manufacture. Unlike other crops, it is not usually economic to modify the plantation environment artificially through fertilization or irrigation. However, the extensive gene pool of tropical pine species has made it possible to establish plantations that are many times more productive than the natural forests over a great range of environmental conditions. 31World

Introduction of Pinus spp into new areas. The introduction of new Pinus sp. into an area is most likely to give successful and satisfactory results when carried out under either of the following two conditions: Condition 1. from one country to another of the 'tropical region', i.e., within the 300 N and 30° S latitudes, in which case it is only necessary to grow the new species at nearly the same altitude or within the same elevational belt as in the home country. Condition 2. from outside the 'tropical region' areas, i.e., from countries of higher latitude into localities of the 'tropical region', in which case it will be necessary to seek out areas with sufficiently high elevation to produce comparable thermal equivalent in the climate. Introduced Pinus spp allocated to their respective thermal zones32. Tropical over Subtropical 67°F 75°F mean 75°F (19.5°C - 24°C) (24°C) 1. P. hondurensis 4. P. strobus var. chiapensis 4.

Source FAO Genus Eucalyptus Davidson33 1993 described the acceleration of industrial planting of eucalypts, especially to produce raw material for pulping. Eucalypt pulp from intensively managed plantations is currently less costly than that produced from other hardwoods like Birch. The market has recognized that eucalypt pulp imparts a special strength and softness to the product for tissues and fine white papers such as those for offset and laser printing, photocopying, and writing. Over 13 million ha of eucalypts now are estimated to be under cultivation in plantations worldwide. This latest estimate is almost double that made in 1985 (7 million ha: Davidson 1985a, 1988) and already exceeds the prediction made in 1988 of 10 million ha by the year 2000 (Davidson 1988). These new data mean that eucalypt planting worldwide has doubled each decade since 1960, and, if this trend continues, will exceed 16 million ha by the year 2000. Despite the continuing acceleration of planting Eucalyptus, the genus today still only represents 15 percent of all plantations worldwide (excluding most of Europe). Regionally, Eucalyptus represents 38 percent of African, 8 percent of Asian and 43 percent of American plantations. After planting huge areas over the last two decades, India and Brazil have the largest areas of eucalypt plantations (estimated at 4.8 million and 3.6 million ha respectively; or, for both countries combined: 63 percent of the world's total). In the Asia Pacific Region, other than India, planting of acacias is overtaking eucalypts, with nearly 750,000 ha established, mostly in the last decade, and principally comprising Acacia mangium in Indonesia (500,000 ha estimated to date) and Malaysia (100,000 ha estimated).

Notes: This Table was compiled in the Australian Tree Seed Centre in August 1993, using data from FAO's global inventory programme with supplementary estimates by Midgley, Moncur and Davidson. Europe is excluded from the Table. There are small areas of Eucalyptus plantations in some European countries, e.g., the United Kingdom and France. Blanks mean either data were unavailable at the time of compilation, or were considered of too doubtful accuracy, so were excluded. Most figures are approximate, and reliability varies. 34
