Abstract
Trees are among the few natural resources that can be renewed, and the need for trees and the wood that they provide is continuing to increase with increases in world population and the striving of peoples to maintain or increase their standards of living. The supply of wood is threatened by overcutting in many regions, and in some areas the near-complete destruction of natural forests threatens other values. More intensive and aggressive forest management can improve the supply of wood and other forest products and values on existing forest land, and on marginal or abandoned farm land that can be afforested. Vegetative propagation and the appropriate deployment of clones can contribute considerably to increases in the productivity and effectiveness of such managed forests, of agroforestry ecosystems, of Christmas-tree farms, and of trees for landscape, urban and amenity uses. Interestingly, tree-breeding programs can become much more flexible when serving clonal forestry than when restricted to the production and deployment of seedlings (Libby and Rauter 1984).
