Abstract

Fast growing tree species can generate high wood production in a short time frame. However, maximum productivity is dependent on environmental and management conditions as well as intrinsic plant traits. Within this framework, our research was into tree species with the highest Mean Annual Increments (MAIs) in southern Italy, particularly in Sicily. Eucalyptus spp., Acacia saligna Labill. H. L. Wendl., Ailanthus altissima Mill. (Swingle) , Pinus halepensis Mill. (including Pinus brutia Ten.), Pinus  canariensis C.Sm. and Pinus radiata D. Don. were identified . In particularly suitable conditions, the MAI of eucalypt coppices ranged from 8 to 12 m 3 ha -1 , and from 13 to 19 m 3 ha -1 , in Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. and Eucalyptus globulus Labill. , respectively. The MAI of E. camaldulensis high forests was slightly over 6 m 3 ha -1 , while that of E. globulus high forests was very similar to its coppice value. Considering the preliminary data, Acacia saligna Labill. H. L. Wendl. can achieve good wood production. Pinus halepensis Mill. and Pinus  brutia (Ten.) Holmboe achieved MAIs of 5-7 m 3 ha -1 . Other species may be promising but either data is very limited or their invasive potential requires careful consideration. This historical review has shown that with optimal tree species-planting site-cultivation technique combinations, tree species can achieve wood yields typical of fast-growing species in Mediterranean Italy, too.

哪些是意大利南部生长最快的树种?从过去吸取教训,展望未来,特别关注西西里岛
快速生长的树种可以在短时间内产生高木材产量。然而,最大生产力取决于环境和管理条件以及植物的内在性状。在此框架内,我们的研究对象是意大利南部,特别是西西里岛平均年增量(MAIs)最高的树种。桉树属,金合欢。h·l·温德尔。、臭椿。(单),松halepensis Mill。(包括野松)、加那利松(Pinus canariensis C.Sm.)。D. Don。被确认。在特别适宜的条件下,桉树样地的MAI在8 ~ 12 m3 ha -1之间,camaldulensis Dehnh在13 ~ 19 m3 ha -1之间。和蓝桉。,分别。camaldulensis高山林的MAI略高于6 m 3 ha -1,而globulus高山林的MAI与其灌木林值非常相似。考虑到初步数据,金合欢。h·l·温德尔。可以实现良好的木材生产。松林和松(10)。Holmboe的MAIs为5-7 m 3 ha -1。其他物种可能很有希望,但要么是数据非常有限,要么是它们的入侵潜力需要仔细考虑。这一历史回顾表明,在最佳树种-种植地点-栽培技术组合下,树种也可以达到意大利地中海速生树种的典型木材产量。
