There is increasing pressure to boost plantation productivity in radiata pine. It is critical, however, where gains are achieved, that wood quality is maintained. The main options avail…
This project utilised the IML-RESI, a tool that works by using small-diameter drill technology, to quickly and cost effectively capture details of a tree’s wood variability and quality. Th…
This project aimed to provide forest managers with the tools to balance reduced transport costs through natural drying of roadside stocks of biofuel and of logs for chips and other wood produ…
The aim of this project was to identify and to better understand differences in the wood of southern pine as the mix of species and sites vary. Thus enabling better planning, processing settin…
This project assessed the suitability of young (9-16 year-old) hardwood logs for the production of boxed-heart posts from four species being Eucalyptus botryoides (southern mahogany), E…
This project utilised Marker-assisted selection (MAS) to identify and validate new genetic markers for wood density, along with using previously-discovered markers for growth and pulp…
This project determined the underlying factors affecting the interaction between genetics and climate and site factors for radiata pine at different plantation sites across Australia an…
