The role of fertilizers in the current campaigns to increase tree wealth on marginal and farm-lands

S.H. Bangash and F. W. Khan

ABSTRACT

At the time of independence of the country (1947), the mountainous areas were reasonably covered with a thick merchantable evergreen coniferous forest (1.9m ha); the foot-hills with deciduous scrub forests (1.7m ha); and the coastal forests (0.35m ha). Besides these natural forests, there were sizeable contribution of wood from man-made forests in the riverain belt and plains, canals, road-side plantations, and also from some scattered plantations of Farm lands. Thus, the country had no critical shortage of wood; of course, there has still been dependence on selective importing of assorted timber wood from abroad.
