Economic use of native eucalypt forests must be achieved through silvicultural practices that ensure neither community patterns and ecosystem processes, nor the health and productivity of the forest, are jeopardized by harvesting. Modern silvicultural practice must be based on fundamental appreciation of the biology of forests, and embrace their biological, structural and aesthetic diversity. This text explores the ecological background to silviculture, the regeneration and development of the forests, and the range of silvicultural practice.
