This project aims to establish the scientific basis for silvicultural treatments of eucalypt plantations for clear wood production. While eucalypt plantations in north-eastern NSW have dramatically increased in recent times, the knowledge base for the production clear, branch-free wood from the tree species used does not exist. A physiological, mechanistic understanding of crown and canopy dynamics as well as branch shedding will form the scientific foundation for stand manipulations such as pruning and thinning to enhance wood quality. Project outcomes will provide the basis for a stand management simulation model for the most important eucalypt species.

该项目旨在为桉树人工林的清洁木材生产的造林处理建立科学基础。虽然新南威尔士州东北部的桉树种植园近年来急剧增加，但从所使用的树种中生产清晰、无枝木材的知识基础并不存在。对树冠和冠层动态以及分支脱落的生理机制的理解将为修枝和间伐等林分操作以提高木材质量奠定科学基础。项目成果将为最重要的桉树树种的林分管理模拟模型提供基础。
