A knowledge of forest site and forest productivity variables is
fundamental to sound forest practice everywhere. The ability to
identify sites and site problems correctly and manipulate
productivity variables for maintenance or improvement of
productivity is the basis of modern forest management. Although the
basic facts regarding forest site and productivity apply throughout
the world, the application of information and the response to
manipulation vary greatly and depend on local forest conditions.
The September 1981 World Congress of the International Union of
Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) in Kyoto, Japan was the
occasion for the special meeting on Forest Site and Productivity
sponsored by the IUFRO Site Group Sl.02. This meeting brought
together forest site and productivity researchers from across the
world to review current thought and the state of site research.
Information not ordinarily available in one place was presented at
this meeting. As organizer of the session, I decided to attempt to
publish the papers in one volume. Arrangements were made with a
publisher, Martinus Nijhoff, and also with the authors. The process
of publication has taken longer than desirable, but the volume does
appear at an opportune time coincident with the 1986 IUFRO World
Congress in Yugoslavia. Material contained in this publication will
set the stage for Site Group discussions at the 1986 meeting. This
volume assembles the thought of forest research workers from many
different countries and therefore many different kinds of forests.
