Heredity deals the cards but environment plays the hands - A method of assessing forest site productivity
M. B. Shrivastava and B. Ulrich
ABSTRACT
This paper examines critically the problems of Forest
Sites Evaluation and the methods used to solve them so
far. The chief components of Eco-Systems determining the
growth potential of forest lands have been discussed.
The dependent variable of site quality exhibiting real
difference in site productivity has been suggested. An
easily applicable and accurate empirical method of
estimating the potential productivity of the forest
lands regardless of the kind of or lack of vegetation
has been suggested. The past attempts in solving the
problem have also been reviewed. The studies will help
the foresters in deciding the forest management
operations and putting priorities on afforestations.
