PLANTATION RESOURCE INFORMATION
	Australia’s Plantations 2010 Inventory Update The National Plantation Inventory provides an annual update of plantation forest area in each state and territory to highlight trends in plantation development.
	Science for Decision Makers: Plantations and Water Use A brief statement on key scientific issues regarding the impact of forest plantations on catchment water yield.
	Australia's Plantation Log Supply 2005 - 2049 This is the third forecast of future log supply from Australia's timber plantations. It is based mainly on data on plantation area for 2005 published by the Bureau of Rural Sciences in the report Australia’s Plantations 2006.
	Australia's Plantations 2006 The National Plantation Inventory has been collecting data and reporting on Australia’s plantations since 1993. Comprehensive map-based reports are published about every five years and update reports have been provided in other years. Australia’s Plantations 2006 is the third comprehensive report.
	CEF-Tree Growth and Carbon Accounting The CEF project has greatly improved knowledge of the growth and sequestration of carbon of commercial species and environmental plantings in low-medium rainfall areas.
	CEF Integrating Trees Into Landscapes for Multiple Benefits The purpose of the three-year CEF research program was to provide landowners and resource managers with information and tools that enable them to make informed decisions about forestry establishment and revegetation.
	Ensis Scenario Planning & Investment Framework Tool_BRS The Scenario Planning and Investment Framework (SPIF) tool is a forestry planning and extension application for targeting where to establish new forests or to predict and assess the commercial and environmental outcomes from project proposals.
	Australia's Forest Industry Wall Poster A useful introduction to Australia's forest industry or a reference to have on your office wall, this map of Australia shows forest tenure, major processing facilities and key statistics about our forest industry.


	MANUALS AND GUIDELINES
	Tree Measurement Manual for Farm Foresters Provides instructions to carry out basic tree and stand measurement in farm forest plantations. It has plenty of diagrams and examples to help explain procedures and includes field recording sheets to measure the quality, growth and yield of small plantations.
	Pest and Disease Assessment in Young Eucalypt Plantations A field manual for plantation managers and forestry researchers using the 'Crown Damage Index' to monitor pest and disease damage and assess the effectiveness of control measures.
	AUSTRALIA'S FORESTS AND FOREST MANAGEMENT
	Australia's State of the Forests Report The most comprehensive report on Australia's native and plantation forests. It contains information on the biodiversity, productive capacity, ecosystem health, soil and water resources, contribution to global carbon, socio-economic benefits and legal, institutional and economic frameworks of Australia's forests.
