dc.description.abstract The annual production of deadwood available for harvesting by hand was determined from 28 permanent plots over three years for three protected areas along a rainfall gradient. Annual production varied considerably for individual plots, but the mean production per woody standing biomass was relatively constant from year to year at approximately 17 kg/ha/year per ton live biomass, or 1.7% per annum. Annual production of harvestable deadwood was related more to stand biomass than rainfall zone. The relative consistency of production rates has positive implications for sustainable use and harvesting strategies. en_US
