Study on Techniques for Management of Tropical Fuelwoods

The management,harvesting and regeneration etc.of tropical fuelwoods are discussed based on our research data and some references.It concludes a set of technique for their management which contains thining of coppice shoots (left 2～3 shoots per stump),fertilizer supplement (300 g composite fertilizers per shoot),rotation age (generally about 4 years,1.5～2 years for super short rotation age,about 3 years for harvesting Acacia in mixed forest),logging system (such as clear cutting and selective cutting),logging season (no logging in rainy season,winter the best and summer the better),stump height (about 10cm for Eucalyptus,60cm for Acacia),and other technological problems such as forest age,stump diameter and tree species etc.which are closely related to their regeneration.
