Forestry today is on the threshold of promising change as biotechnology is introduced into its operations. Sophisticated tissue cultures for cloned seedlings and genetically modified organisms portend many benefits as more of the world’s industrial wood is being produced on planted forests. In many cases biotechnology in forestry is simply an extension of agricultural innovations, such as herbi...

Operations research techniques such as mathematical programming, simulation, and the development of planning systems can contribute to decision-making in forestry management. Computers have dramatically changed the possibilities and practice of data collection, storage, analysis, and presentation but the difficulty of obtaining access to them has until recently limited their use. Development of...

Claim of sustainability are virtually impossible to prove but enough is known about tropical forest ecology and silviculture to protect ecosystem functions and maintain biodiversity while still deriving financial profirs from logging . Rapid improvements in long-term forest production will derive from better planning of harvesting operations and stand improvement treatments. Lack of good manage...

State-owned forestry enterprises are important elements of the forestry economy in China. The operational efficiency of such enterprises depends on technological progress and other input factors. Total factor productivity (TFP) is an important means to evaluate the efficiency of technical elements. The growth of production efficiency can be classified into efficiency variation and technical var...
