The von Bertalanffy's growth model and 59, 0.1ha plots (0.55-9.55yearsold) were used to develop site index (SI) curves at 6years base age. Then, using the state-space approach, stand growth and yield models were developed for basal area, volume and biomass. The results show that A.mangium is a very promising species for timber production, atmospheric carbon removal and soil restoration because it grows very fast even in mining degraded soils. On average sites it reaches 15m in height in 3years. However, early and reiterated thinning coupled with initial mortality by cattle invasion of the very young understocked plantations are producing relatively low yields.
