A GHG inventory study was conducted for Industrial Tree Plantation (ITP) production chain in Caraga Region. GHG emissions from ITP activities that include harvesting, minor and major log transport, and veneer and lumber production were accounted for. The carbon stored in lumber and veneer was also computed. Specifically, the calculated GHG emissions (CO2e) from harvesting, …
This study generally aims to identify, capture and preserve the remaining wild population of Eucalyptus deglupta, Casuarina equisetifolia and Endospermum peltatum and asses the genetic structure of E. deglupta for genetic conservation and future tree breeding program. Specifically, the objectives of the study are: (1) to identify and capture the remaining wild population of E.deglupta, …
The results of the study showed that it is technically feasible to harvest for veneer production the 3, 5, and 7-year old Falcata trees which grew from known/certified seed sources. However, depending on the tree age and diameter, falcata tree may be processed as corestock veneer only as in the case of the 3-year old …
Low timber production of Falcata (Falcataria moluccana (Miq.) Barneby & J.W. Grimes) plantations in the Philippines can be attributed to the use of planting materials from poor quality seed sources. To achieve optimum plantation yield from genetically superior seed sources, this study conducted field tests of genetic materials from available plantations of Falcata in the …
This study assessed the genetic diversity and ascertained the genetic structure of all currently available propagated materials of the two commercially important plantation species, Falcata (Falcataria moluccana (Miq.) Barneby & J.W. Grimes.) and Yemane (Gmelina arborea Roxb.). The usefulness of molecular markers to assess genetic variation especially in recurrently planted populations has been well demonstrated and …
