Yeild regulation by area-volume check method: A case study at Sao Hill in Tanzania
Aaron S. M. Mgeni
ABSTRACT
Sao Hill is the largest forest project in Tanzania with
30,000 hectares planted by 1983. Its final target is
65,000 hectares. It supports a state owned sawmill and a
pulp and paper mill. Managing this forest on a
non-declining yield basis is the main objective. Since
the forest structure is abnormal, yield regulation is
necessary. A Feasibility study was conducted using the
area-volume check method which is currently identified
as a feasible model. It is suggested that management of
this forest on the basis of non-declining yield is
possible. Where computing facilities are limited this
method of regulating yield may be more useful than using
simple but rigid formulae.
