A coppice with standards system adapted to Eucalyptus plantations for rural communities
- M. Reynders
Abstract
Coppice with standards might be the most appropriate management system for Eucalyptus plantations established to fulfil the needs of rural communities in developing countries. In Rwanda, trials were established comparing pure coppice and high forest to coppice with standards with different densities of standards. The analysis was made of the production of the coppice, the production of the reserves and the total production of each treatment. The lack of significant difference between the total production of treatments allows a great freedom of action to the silviculturist and the choice of the management system should depend on the valorization possibilities of the thinning products.
