Abstract: Silviculture is the major procedures in forest research. Silviculture is traditionally focused on various aspects of tree planting, such as tree selection, site preparation, irrigation and fertilization and so on, and the role of silviculture at that time is to manage forests scientifically for continuous production of goods and services while meeting biological and economic requirements. During the past three decades, an increase in research on silviculture has improved Eucalyptus productivity and on wood properties. But, very little information about this procedure on the review of Eucalyptus grown in China has been published even though this species was introduced many years. This paper reviews the available information regarding research history and progress of silviculture under Chinese ecological conditions and to outline some suggestions to them.
Keywords: Eucalyptus, Silviculture, Research Progress, China
