Develop
the fundamental genetic and silvicultural knowledge and materials
needed to deploy intensively managed tree plantations for multiple
uses and to disseminate that knowledge and materials as appropriate
to ensure immediate application of advances. |
 |
 |
Current production populations of
cottonwoods and other species are insufficiently diverse to
ensure that intensive forestry systems are sustainable.
Current vegetation management methods required to
establish intensively managed plantation forests are inadequate,
poorly matched to selected crop tree genotypes, or both. |
|
Knowledge
of the environmental benefits, ecological sustainability and
economic benefits of intensive forestry systems are not well
developed regardless of the landscape within which such systems
are deployed. |
