  7. CIPS Center for Intensive Plantation Silviculture Rationale A new approach to cooperative silvicultural research is required to: (1) remain competitive in the global economy (2) achieve financial targets demanded by owners (3) protect the health and sustainability of the forest resource It must be long-term, integrative, and broad in scope.

  8. CIPS Center for Intensive Plantation Silviculture CIPS Mission To optimize productivity, health and sustainability of intensively managed planted forests by investigating the interactions among genetics, silviculture, insects and disease, competition, nutrition, and soils, while ensuring that the practices developed protect public resources and find public acceptance.

  16. CIPS Center for Intensive Plantation Silviculture • Develop a CIPS strategic plan and initial research • Set priorities on research topics and strategies • Identify one or more specific projects, complete with timelines and budgets • Identify staffing and support needs • Develop long-term funding mechanism • Assemble a modeling committee • Committee focus should be model “invariant” • ORGANON subcommittee to: approve changes to ORGANON, maintain and archive all ORGANON databases, and oversee the maintenance of the ORGANON computer code.

  17. CIPS Center for Intensive Plantation Silviculture • Lead development of a strategic vision for comprehensive and integrated research in the region • Assemble a review committee made up of leaders and representatives of organizations currently involved in various aspects of plantation silviculture and research in the region • Develop a vision for an integrated research program that covers interactions among genetics, competition, nutrition, soils, and insects and disease • Provide an analysis of the effectiveness and cost efficiency of regional research with respect to the strategic vision and provide recommendations for improvement
