Knockrath woodlands: A 20 year review.

Abstract

The changes in growing stock and species composition of Knockrath Woodlands have been monitored by repeated inventories over a period of 20 years as part of working plans prepared by forestry students from University College, Dublin. The summarised results of these inventories, as presented at a Seminar on Management of Woodlands in April 1976, are reproduced here to illustrate the changes which have taken place under a management plan which had as a main objective the application of the principle of sustained yield.
