| Abstract;Oji Paper has established over 135,000 ha of hardwood plantation overseas to secure its own resources in accordance with environmental conservation. Forestry Research Institute has established its branches in July 2002 in Australia where there are four plantation projects, to improve their productivity of hardwood plantation sites mainly by pursuing clonal forestation with plus trees. Firstly, candidates of the plus tree were selected by growth characteristics (height, diameter, stem form and so on) from several plantation sites where there are much difference in rain fall and edaphic condition. It is very important to improve not only growth but also wood quality from the view point of increasing pulp quantity produced from a unit area of plantation. Therefore, analysis of wood quality has been carried out to get plus trees with superior wood quality as well as growth. It was clearly shown that there were great differences of basic density among selected trees with better performance of growth. Trial plantation has been established at two sites in August 2004 using plus trees with better performance of growth and wood quality to study environmental variation. (author abst.) |
