Description To support silvicultural management of plantations and to accurately estimate the amount of heartwood in the standing trees, Form international has currently a short term research project that is targeted at:
- Understanding the major factors, including climate and silvicultural management, for heartwood formation at the plantations of Form Ghana
- Estimating the amount of heartwood in standing trees
Also available as thesis. A set of long term measurements is available, to be complemented with knowledge from literature. It is expected that the study will be conducted from the Netherlands.
