A Long-Term Plan for Conversion to Monocyclic Working in the Central Forest Reserves of South Mengo District, Buganda Province, Uganda (O.D.C. 24)

Abstract

Factors are discussed which have to be taken into account in converting to monocyclic working in South Mengo forests with a rotation of about 70 years. A plan is described in which this would be achieved over a 40-year conversion felling cycle. Suggestions are made for control of exploitation during the conversion cycle and an account is given of proposed silvicultural treatments for the same period.
