PY - 2018 DA - 2018/04/17 TI - The importance of harvest residue and fertiliser on productivity of Pinus patula across various sites in their first, second and third rotations, at Usutu Swaziland JO - New Zealand Journal of Forestry Science SP - 5 VL - 48 IS - 1 AB - Concern is growing about the future of forestry productivity due to intensive nutrient removal, as a result of different harvesting operations. This study aimed to determine the effects on forest productivity when using different slash-retention scenarios with the recommended amounts of mineral fertiliser in Usutu forest. Usutu is a plantation forest that grows mostly softwood where the predominant species is Pinus patula Schiede ex Schltdl. & Cham.
