英文摘要	Onsite information pertaining to forest growth potential is a significant prerequisite for selecting suitable forest plantation locations and safeguards sustainable timber production and income generation. In the scope of forest landscape restoration, the selection of the most suitable sites for reforestation remains a major issue. The current study introduces an operational, objective, and straightforward methodology for the identification and prioritization of sites that are suitable for forest plantations. The methodology is based on an approach that combines land use suitability assessment with site-specific growth and yield predictions. The land use suitability assessment is based on a methodological framework presented by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). In a study area in Vietnam four different suitability classes are defined for the species Acacia mangium (A. mangium). Field assessments in existing A. mangium plantations were utilized to develop yield models. Among the Korf, Gompertz, and Chapman-Richards growth equations Korf performed the best for all suitability classes. Prioritization of sites is realized by the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). Our study offers a pragmatic approach for selecting the most suitable sites for large-scale forest restoration activities. Integrating growth and yield predictions supports reforestation practices and promotes sustainable timber production.
