Management regimes
Description
Intensively managed
Plantation raised with pruning (8 times in 15 years, i.e., from 2002 to 2009), thinning (600 trees/ha in 2010 and 450 trees/ha in 2012), and weed control (3 times per year up to 4 years with a mean stocking density of 301)
Poorly managed
Plantation raised with no pruning, no thinning, and weeding was done once a year up to 2 years with a mean stocking density of 359
