“Short Rotation Woody Crops”

 

Dr. Donald Rockwood, Professor Emeritus, UF/IFAS School of Forest Resources and Conservation

 

Dr. Rockwood’s tree improvement research with slash pine, cypress, Eucalyptus species, cottonwood, and Corymbia torelliana led to their development and commercial use for mulchwood, bioenergy, phytoremediation, and/or windbreaks in Florida and the lower Southeast, and to the release of four E. grandis cultivars in 2009. He has published over 280 articles, and his research and teaching activities were supported by over $3 million of extramural funding.  His international activities involved 13 countries, with emphases on India and Australia.  He is a member of the Society of American Foresters (SAF) and the Florida Forestry Association, and the recipient of numerous awards.
