Acacia mearnsii - timber Yield Estimates per mesozone

*The dataset shows Acacia mearnsii - timber yield estimates allocated to mesozones. Yield estimates were derived from Schulze R.E. and Maharaj M. (2007) and then allocated to mesozones by combining with a base mesozone layer obtained from the CSIR Geospatial Analysis Platform (GAP). *The map of climatically optimum growth areas shows the main potential areas for A. mearnsii to be in a strip along the coast of the Eastern Cape, parts of the midlands and northwest of KwaZulu-Natal and a strip in Mpumalanga, with smaller patches of climatically optimum areas elsewhere. *Areas of highest yields of A. mearnsii timber correspond with those of bark, with significant tracts of the northeast of the Eastern Cape displaying considerable potential for future black wattle plantations.
