Mestrado em Engenharia Florestal e dos Recursos Naturais - Instituto Superior de AgronomiaThis report addresses the record of the author’s experience and professional activity, developing a set of topics with scientific relevance and technical depth corresponding to the requirements of the master's degree, and in so doing giving evidences of the author’s skills in areas such as eucalyptus management, biodiversity management, growth models, among others. The report stems from the Forest Management Plan (FMP) for EGLON – TIMBERS company, which manages an area of 2,598 hectares entirely located in the south of Portugal (Beja and Faro districts), 83% of which is occupied by eucalyptus, the vast majority of clonal origin in the first rotation for wood pulp production. In addition to the information required by FMP technical standards, this report includes a quantitative approach for decision support by using growth models (SOP and GLOBULUS 3.0) to predict future production as well as a biodiversity program aligned with the FSC® standards for forest management in Portugal, with special focus on specific environmental impact requirements and High Value Conservation Forests principle
