This volume gives an outline of current forest management in Australia in the mid 1980s. It is unusual because it is written by foresters who manage forests rather than researchers. There is immense variation in the forests of Australia. The forest types treated cover all the main forest formations of Australia: cool temperate to tropical rainforests, we sclerophyll karri and mountain ash, dry sclerophyll forests of many kinds, plantations of native and introduced conifers, subtropical woodlands and inland forests of cypress pine and salmon gum. One chapter on the River Murray redgum forests is an interstate co-operative effort of New South Wales and Victoria. Fifty-one authors with expert and diverse skills, give insights into complexities of real forest management in Australia.
