  1. Recovery of <em>Ocotea bullata</em> (Lauraceae) after Fire Damage

    Recovery of Ocotea bullata (Lauraceae) after Fire Damage

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Forestry Journal • Authors: W.A. Lübbe --- Saasveld Forestry Research Centre,
    Fire damage to Ocotea bullata (Lauraceae) may result in crown death but survival and eventual recovery is possible by means of shoot formation. Survival is due to the above-average thickness of the bark of O. bullata and possibly the isolating...

  2. Management of the Coppice Regeneration of <em>Ocotea bullata</em> (Lauraceae)

    Management of the Coppice Regeneration of Ocotea bullata (Lauraceae)

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Forestry Journal • Authors: W.A. Lübbe --- Saasveld Forestry Research Centre,
    The effects of protecting the coppice shoots of Ocotea bullata (Lauraceae) stumps against bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus) browsing were studied. Apart from reducing damage to coppice shoots, protection led to a decrease in the number of shoots per coppice cluster, a...

  3. Decline and Mortality of <em>Ocotea bullata</em> Trees in the Southern Cape Forests

    Decline and Mortality of Ocotea bullata Trees in the Southern Cape Forests

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Forestry Journal • Authors: W.A. Lübbe --- Saasveld Forestry Research Centre, C.J. Geldenhuys --- Saasveld Forestry Research Centre,
    Dying trees of Ocotea bullata (Lauraceae) occurred in small groups in certain areas in the medium-moist forests of the southern Cape. Crown health declined significantly (P > 0,01) in the dying groups, but this was not the general trend for...

  4. Harvesting and extraction impacts on <em>Eucalyptus grandis</em> × <em>E. urophylla</em> coppicing potential and rotation-end volume in Zululand, South Africa

    Harvesting and extraction impacts on Eucalyptus grandis × E. urophylla coppicing potential and rotation-end volume in Zululand, South Africa

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science • Authors: Kylle Schwegman --- Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, South Africa Keith M Little --- Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, South Africa Andrew McEwan --- Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, South Africa Simon A Ackerman --- Institute for Commercial Forestry Research, South Africa
    From the early 2000s there has been a general shift in South Africa in harvesting and extraction systems from the use of semi- to fully-mechanised systems. Any increase in mechanisation, as is occurring in Zululand, will need to take into...

  5. Effects of thinning on growth performance of teak (<em>Tectona grandis</em>) plantations in Tain II Forest Reserve, Ghana

    Effects of thinning on growth performance of teak (Tectona grandis) plantations in Tain II Forest Reserve, Ghana

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Southern Forests: a Journal of Forest Science • Authors: Bertrand Festus Nero --- Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana Maxwell Asuenabisa --- Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana
    Although recent interest in commercial teak plantation establishment has soared, knowledge of intensive silvicultural management of residual stands is limited in most parts of West Africa. This study evaluated the effects of thinning regimes on the growth responses and pruning...
