Book Description
Productivity assessment and economic analysis of teak plantations of three age gradations (viz. 10, 15 and 20 years old) in different agro-climatic zones of Karnataka, viz. northern dry zone, northern transition zone, and hilly zone was carried out. Observations on growth parameters like total tree height, clear bole height, dbh, basal area, total volume and clear bole volume etc. were recorded in 10 m x 10 m sample plots and average data per hectare was calculated. Teak plantations raised on the farm lands of northern transition zone had significantly higher clear bole volume than that in northern dry zone or hilly zone at all the three age-gradations. 20-year old teak plantations of northern transition zone of Karnataka had, on an average, two times more clear bole volume (738.98 m3/ha) than that among northern dry zone (313.22 m3/ha) and hilly zone (322.86 m3/ha).

Book Description
Plantation forestry is the planting, managing, and harvesting of trees for the production of industrial wood. Originally published in 1983, the principal focus and contribution of the study lies in Roger Sedjo’s examination of the economic returns in twelve forest regions throughout the world. The results of the analysis strongly demonstrate the feasibility of major expansion of plantation forestry in a number of areas around the world and suggest the likelihood of major shifts in the principal supply areas. The results also have potentially important implications for countering the threats of deforestation. This title will be of interest for students of Environmental Studies.

Book Description
Background. To meet increasing demand for forest products and services, the global area of planted forests has increased dramatically over the past 25 years. Further increases in large-scale tree plantations are expected due to their high productivity, economic profitability and contribution to climate change mitigation targets. This raises questions about their long-term sustainability, as well as their impacts on forest ecosystem services and local livelihoods, particularly in countries characterized by rural poverty and insecure property rights. Previous studies have revealed mixed impacts, but there is a lack of research on the contexts and practices that can contribute to positive and/or negative socioeconomic impacts. This protocol provides guidelines for a systematic review that synthesizes the current literature on the direct and indirect impacts of large-scale plantations on local communities, and which will also identify trends, bias and gaps in the empirical evidence base. Methods. The primary research question of the systematic review asks "What are the direct and indirect socioeconomic impacts of large-scale tree plantations on local human populations?" We apply a Population-Exposure-Comparator-Outcome-Context (PECOC) framework to structure each stage of the systematic review, which comprises a comprehensive literature search, screening, quality assessment, data extraction and analysis.We define the exposure of interest to be the establishment or management of a large-scale tree plantation by external actors, population of interest as households and communities living in close proximity to plantation sites, comparators as other communities who have not experienced the same exposure as well as the same communities prior to plantation establishment, outcomes as the direct or indirect socioeconomic impacts felt by the population as a result of plantation establishment, and context as the social, political and environmental factors that may have led to differences in experienced impacts. We will search multiple bibliographic databases and organizational websites for relevant studies in both the published and grey literatures. These results will be screened by their titles and abstracts followed by their full texts based on predetermined eligibility criteria. To ensure that selected studies have controlled for potential biases, quality assessment will then take place alongside data extraction. Finally, the results of quantitative and qualitative analyses will be reported in a narrative synthesis.

Book Description
This book provides the facts and figures on subjects like ecology, silviculture, productivity, utilization, management of teak forest extensively. It deals with all aspects of teak relating to the field ecology, site suitability, Plant growth, nutrient dynamics, methods of irrigation, timber gradation, thinning practices, and identification of compatible area for teak growing, profitability in teak plantation project, teak plantation project management. The current knowledge on various aspects of teak management practices has been added to make the book immensely useful to all who are involved in teak projects, either in the field of scientific research or in the field of forestry practices or in the field of investment on plantation.
