Plantation Forestry in Ghana : Theory and Applications

This book is organized into three main parts: plantation forestry in context; plantation silviculture and management and plantation forestry economics. Throughout the book, several case studies are presented, using growth and yield information on teak and neem plantations in the guinea savannah and semi-deciduous vegetation zones of Ghana. These two species are used because of the availability of detailed data on them through previous studies. While these case studies are meant to be illustrative, they are useful in demonstrating how the principles described in the theoretical parts of the book are applied.
