GROWTH MONITORING

In order to achieve our goals of sustainable timber supply, a stable forest base is needed to ensure a suitable site-species relationship. For this purpose, the company uses Eucalyptus grandis , E. dunnii and their hybrid species, and incorporates latest-generation machinery to simplify operations and increase efficiency in the forestry process. The main base species used are E. grandis, E. dunnii and their hybrids, as well as E. globulus, E. maideni i and E. benthamii for breeding with base species to enhance pulp production and the plant’s ability to adapt to different environments.

THE INDICATORS OBTAINED ARE: •Trees/ha. •Average diameter •Average height •Dominant height •Basal area •Volume / ha

Growth is monitored though permanent plots that are measured annually from their first year of planting. They are often evaluated at five and ten years, before harvesting.

•Average annual increase •Current annual increase •Average tree volume
