Eucalyptus Forest Information System for the Portuguese pulp and paper industry

Informally Refereed

Abstract

To support the management of the Portuguese eucalyptus forest, the Association of Portuguese Pulp and Paper Industries (CELPA) decided to develop a Eucalyptus Forest Information System (EFIS). The specific goals of the EFIS are: characterization and development of the eucalyptus forest over time; planning of successive national eucalyptus forest inventories; estimation of sustainable eucalyptus pulpwood yield; development of growth and yield models; and monitoring of mean and current annual increment. This paper gives a concise image of the Portuguese eucalyptus forest and explains the structure of the system and the expected results.
