Description

Based on“Global Forest Resources Assessment 2010”that FAO performed in 2010, the current situation of the world's forests was introduced. The decrease in world's forests area diminished, but approximately 13 million hectares with annual average is still decreasing in the 2000s. In consideration of increase by afforestation, approximately 5 million hectares with annual average is net reduction in the 2000s.<br>Concerning increase in the population of the world and the demand for wood increase in the future, there are two important issues for industrial plantations. The first is to raise the productivity of planting area, and it is necessary to continue improving the forest tree breeding and the silviculture technology. The second is the selection of good trees which grows up with the inferior land and the development of new markets.
