Abstract
The productivity of successive conifer monocultures throughout the world has been the subject of many studies, recently reviewed by Evans (1976). The progress with research into the causes of second-rotation decline in productivity of Pinus radiata in southeast Australia is described by Farrell et al. (1981). Studies by Evans (1975) have not indicated any loss in productivity in the second rotation of P. patula pulpwood plantations in Swaziland.
