“…More products can be produced based on higher bamboo yield. According to Tran (2010), the cutting cycle of some species of the Dendrocalamus family in Vietnam is one or two years depending on cultivation levels. If the one-year cutting cycle is applied, 30% of the 96 total bamboo culms can be harvested, and in the case of the two-year cutting cycle, a percentage of 40% is recommended.…”

Abstract. Hassan NHM, Abdullah N, Kelana DNA, Perumal M. 2022. Early field growth performance of ten selected bamboo taxa: The case study of Sabal bamboo pilot project in Sarawak, Malaysia. Biodiversitas 23: 2882-2892. Information on early growth performance and survival rate of bamboos are pivotal for the development of the Sarawak bamboo industry. Thus, a study on the early growth performance of ten bamboo taxa was conducted at the Sarawak Bamboo Pilot Project site in Sabal, Simunjan, Sarawak, Malaysia. Six taxa were originated from Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and the other four bamboo taxa were originated locally from Sarawak. Study sites were established at bamboo plantation areas at different age stands. Two replications of data for each taxon involving 50 readings (25 readings for one replication) were measured and quantified for growth parameters of the number of culms per clump, number of new shoots, culm diameter, and culm height. The findings indicated that Gigantochloa hasskarliana (Busi bamboo) had the highest number of culms per clump (43) while Guadua angustifolia (Duri bamboo) had the highest number of new bamboo shoots (2.93). Nonetheless, Dendrocalamus asper (Green) had the highest culm diameter (3.61 cm) while Bambusa balcooa (Bema bamboo) had the highest culm height (8.36 m). The results showed that different bamboo species have different early growth performances, thus further detailed investigation and long-term monitoring period are required to achieve the commercial plantation scale, especially in Sarawak.

“…However, one-or two-year cutting cycles can be applied as well if necessary. Harvesting is applied when newly established bamboo stands reach the age of six years (Tran 2010). Before the harvesting operations, pruning should be applied.…”

“…Rainfall plays a very important and dominating role in the distribution and growth of different species. Bamboo prefers regions of high rainfall ranging from about 1270 mm to about 6350 mm or even more (Ha, 2010;Ram et al, 2010;Song, et al, 2011).…”

“…The American Region which involves the continents of South America, Central America and North America, has a high biodiversity of bamboos with approximately 400-500 species, among them about 300 species in 20 genera are woody bamboos. Africa has barely about 40 species but it is worth mentioning that this continent, though rather poor in bamboo florae with only a few native species, has large areas of natural bamboo forests (Lobovikov et al, 2007;Ha, 2010;Yang and Hui, 2010).…”

“…It is estimated that worldwide there are over 1200 species under 87 genera of bamboo, with a natural distribution across a broad range of environments (humid tropical, subtropical and temperate region) on all continents except Europe and Antarctica (Ram et al, 2010;Hogarth and Belcher, 2013). In addition, bamboo is an adaptable plant, some species being deciduous, others are evergreen, and especially, some species seem to be able to adapt to much different habitats when necessary (Ha, 2010).…”

Bamboos constitute a very important and versatile resource worldwide. A lot of Asian, African and South American people rely on bamboo products for their housing and farming tools. Meanwhile, the shoots of these plants are regarded as vegetables in East and South-East Asian nations. China has the greatest bamboo forest area (extension) and the largest number of bamboo species (more than 590 species), many of them with significant economic importance, being Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis), the most important bamboo species in China, due to its usage not only as timber but also for food. China has paid unprecedented attention in recent decades to bamboo forest management. The vast economic profits derived from silviculture have contributed much to rural development and poverty alleviation. Bamboo industry has become the pillar of economy in mountainous areas. Besides being a tool for poverty alleviation in rural areas, bamboo plantations are also a significant carbon sink and a key option to mitigate land degradation. This paper highlights such aspects as bamboo silviculture (fertilization, pruning, thinning, irrigation, shoot and timber harvesting) its domestic and international applications (timber, plywood, food, paper, fuel, housing, etc.) in daily life, and its current role in Chinese industry and economy, without particular reference to any of its species.

The differences in the physical and mechanical properties and chemical composition of Bambusa rigida bamboo before and after accelerated aging tests were comparatively investigated. The results revealed that the aged specimens had lower physical and mechanical properties than the controls. The differences in chemical composition provided evidence that the reduction in physical and mechanical properties was related to the loss of low-molecular weight substances, such as extractives and inorganic matter, and the depolymerization of the carbohydrates cellulose and hemicellulose. Lignin caused the main resistance to the accelerated aging test because the aged specimens had relatively high Klason lignin content. Significant differences (p<0.05) in surface color between the control and aged specimens were observed, and variations in bamboo properties among culm heights were also evaluated in this study. The results showed that basic density and mechanical properties for both the control and aged specimens increased with increasing culm height, while the volume shrinkage showed an inverse trend.
