Forest Industries Research Centre

The Forest Industries Research Centre (FIRC) is focused on issues as they relate to the forestry value chain, thus the economic and environmental sustainability of forest industries. The forestry value chain covers a wide range of research disciplines including genetics and genomics, silviculture and stand management, forest health and pest management, ecology and biodiversity management, timber and biomass harvest and haulage, fibre quality and value, timber processing and biorefinery, renewable energy and biofuels as well as timber construction materials.<br/> <br/> While these research areas are all important in their own right, from the perspective of the FIRC, they all interact with each other in real ways to have important impacts and we believe a multidiscipline approach is the best to understand and identify value in these interactions.<br/> <br/> To visit the Forest Industries Research Centre website click <a href="https://www.usc.edu.au/research-and-innovation/forests-for-the-future/forest-industries-research-centre">HERE</a>.<br/> <br/> To access all Centre Publications by Title click <a href="http://research.usc.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Browse/Title?collection=usc:25438">HERE</a>.<br/> <br/> To access all Publications for the Centre that will enable you to sort by topic or author click <a href="http://research.usc.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository?query=&collection=usc:25437&root=usc:25438">HERE</a>. <br/> <br/> Search Tips: You have a few ways of using the search bar below to find publications from the Forest Industries Research Centre group.
