Further, the increase in heartwood percentage (80.91%), lower moisture content and shrinkage values, all indicated that the prolonging the rotation age in Winrock International and FAO, Bangk. Otherwise, the heat, and humidity encourage the development of fungi. Seed germination and growth parameters of seedlings were recorded after two, three and four month of seed sowing. The chemistry Acacia mangium wood, a prominent fast-growing plantation species used in the ing site can have a major influence on growth rate and yield. is a new combination for the species previously known as either A. laurifolia Willd. This contrasts to Victorian E. regnans forests, whose persistence is dependent on high-severity stand-replacing events. Related species, widely separated geographically, pose phytogeographical problems. Regression analyses were performed on Acacia dominance against the four variables. The impacts of climate change, in particular via elevated temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentrations, cause differential photosynthetic responses between native and invasive alien plants, often resulting in varying magnitudes of plant growth and productivity.

ABSTRACT A field study was carried out on tin taili'ngs to evaluate the growth performance ofthree ti'mber species (Acacia mangium, Ceiba pentandra and Casuarina equisetifolia) with and without fertilization and with three species ofcover crops (Centrosema pubescens, Calopogonium muconoides and Puereria phaseoloides). The MAI for height, MAI (more than 4 m/year) have been recorded for stands, less than 3 years old, although a height MAI of more than 4, m/year has also been reported in older stands in several sites.

Our study finds that 1) Acacia mangium dominance can be used to determine the disturbance stage of heath forest, and as such provides an easy to measure indicator of heath forest health, and 2) that the most cost efficient way to eradicate Acacia mangium is fire prevention so that natural succession will provide the shaded conditions that prevent Acacia mangium establishment and population maintenance.
