Abstract

Since 1971 there has been significant progress in greatly increasing yields of wood and energy (biomass) from intensively cultured plantations compared with natural stands. This publication reports the results of studies and summarizes the "maximum-yield" research in progress at the North Central Forest Experiment Station.
