Pinus plantation establishment in Queensland: I. Field surveys for site preparation planning and site design.

Pru Foster, A. Costantini

Abstract

Summary In Queensland, comprehensive site capability information is used to guide planning for Pinus plantation establishment. Prior to dealing for plantation establishment, field surveys are used to provide information for site suitability and site capability assessment. Knowledge of site capability is used as an input into selection of site preparation systems, site preparation design, taxon selection and fertilizer prescription. The information collected in, and the site capability knowledge inferred from, field surveys are described in this paper.
