As the rain forests disappear, development of planted forests in tropical countries is accelerating to satisfy the ever-growing global demands for wood products as well as to improve the local environment and livelihoods of poor people. In 24 illustrated and fully referenced chapters, this book presents both the historical context and current developments in planting trees in the tropics. Contemporary issues such as engaging with stakeholders and sustainable management practices in planted forests are also addressed. This expanded third edition will provide students with a comprehensive introduction to the principles and practices of tropical plantation forestry as part of sustainable land use. Professional foresters, development specialists, and all with an interest in tropical forest management will find this a valuable reference text.
