A Reference Guide for Improved Management of Clumping Bamboo for Timber Bamboo
The primary aim of this manual is to provide the reader with basic information on how to improve the health of bamboo clumps and the interdependencies within prodominantly bamboo-based agroecosystems, in turn increasing the sustainable yield of quality bamboo culms. As managers we can analyse, understand, and enhance this system so that human inputs are minimized and thus management costs are too. We assume that the reader agrees whole heartedly that a managed bamboo forest system is far more productive than one which is unmanaged.
