Abstract

Forestry Sciences fibre production hardwood
Optimal matching of species to sites is required for a sustainable hardwood plantation industry in the subtropics. This paper reports on the performance and adaptation of 60 taxa (species, provenances and hybrids) across two rainfall zones and a range of soil types in southern Queensland. Specifically, taxa performance is compared across five replicated taxa-site matching trials at age six years. Three trials are in a 1000 mm rainfall zone of the Wide Bay near Miriam Vale and two in a drier (c. 750 mm) rainfall zone near Kingaroy in the South Burnett.
