ABSTRACT Information about the state and use of private native forests has been traditionally hard to gather, however, recent research in north-east New South Wales (NSW) and southern Queensland (QLD) is helping to bridge the knowledge gap. Research, recently completed by the NSW Department of Primary Industries and soon to be completed by the QLD Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, has used a combination of traditional and novel techniques to quantify the extent, status and value of private native forests and their role in domestic timber supply. The research supports the strategic planning priorities of NSW and QLD Governments.

从私人原生森林研究中汲取意义和方向——最近两项研究的总结

摘要 传统上很难收集有关私有原始森林的状态和使用的信息，但是，最近在新南威尔士州 (NSW) 东北部 (NSW) 和昆士兰州南部 (QLD) 的研究有助于弥合知识差距。最近由新南威尔士州初级产业部完成并很快将由昆士兰州农业和渔业部完成的研究使用传统和新技术相结合来量化私有原生森林的范围、地位和价值及其在经济发展中的作用。国内木材供应。该研究支持新南威尔士州和昆士兰州政府的战略规划优先事项。
