The definition of low wood quality production depends on the management objectives. In most cases the objective is to achieve a high level of future wood production, but this may vary according to other objectives, e.g for wildlife or aesthetics. However, in all cases, a minimum ecological stocking must be achieved so that forest types, as defined by the Regional Forest Agreement and monitored under the Permanent Native Forest Estate policy, are maintained. Remedial treatments are mandatory for areas, which have not met minimum ecological stocking. Further information is available in Technical Bulletin 6 (Forestry Tasmania, 2003). Table 2.6.
