Forest plantations are established for efficient, commercially viable wood production. Their regional establishment in IMAGE 3 is scenario driven (see also Input/Output Table at [[Forest management|Introduction part]]), based on FAO. The expectation is that increasingly more wood will be produced in plantations because sustainability criteria may limit harvest from natural forests ([[Brown, 2000]]; [[Carle and Holmgren, 2008]]; [[FAO, 2012b | Forest plantations are established for efficient, commercially viable wood production.

The development of forest plantations in IMAGE and [[LPJmL model|LPJmL]] is still under development, but expected to be available soon. Forest plantations are assumed to be established firstly on abandoned agricultural land. When sufficient abandoned land is not available, forest plantations are established on cleared forest areas. When a forest plantation has been established, the land cannot be used for other purposes or converted to natural vegetation until the tree rotation cycle has been completed. | ||
