In Ireland the majority of forests are non-native evenaged conifer monoculture plantations managed primarily under the clearfell system. Although the practice of continuous cover forestry has been used productively for the past 120 years in continental Europe it has yet to make an impact in Irish forestry. Yet indications are that pressure to introduce alternatives to clearfell systems in Ireland will increase.
