TL;DR: The management of competing vegetation has evolved with forest management over the past half century and is now an integral part of modern forestry practice in many parts of the world as discussed by the authors, which has proven especially important in the establishment of high-yield forest plantations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects, interactions and response mechanisms of intensive silvicultural practices on plantation productivity and sustainability were explored using five South African case studies (a, b, c, d, e).

TL;DR: An updated overview of the black wattle industries in South Africa and Brazil can be found in this paper, including planted areas and land ownership, silviculture and management, bark extract production, woodchip exports, as well as key research and development issues.

TL;DR: Investigation of forestry plantation residues found medium-grade residue was found to be more effective than either the coarse or fine grades, and positioning the weed seeds below the mulch resulted in greater suppression than when placed above it, suggesting an allelopathic effect.

TL;DR: In the 1980s, Eucalyptus macarthurii and E. nitens were planted in the colder, higher altitude areas of South Africa to meet the increased demand for pulpwood to find possible alternatives.
