Abstract

This paper examines continuing developments in inter-rotation management of steep-country Araucaria cunninghamii (hoop pine) plantations in south-east Queensland, Australia. Current systems for clearfell residue and understorey vegetation management during second rotation site preparation are described, and their deficiencies briefly outlined. A number of options for retaining residue on hillslopes during site preparation are presented, and their potential for use in steep-country forestry, based on preliminary trials, is assessed.
