Prof. S.A.O. Chamshama’s main area of specialization is plantation forestry<\/a> (silviculture). I have however been involved in training and research in a wide range of areas including: natural forest<\/a> management, agroforestry, tree improvement (mainly species and provenances), tree physiology, forest resource assessment, participatory forest management (PFM) and climate change. I have published 137<\/strong>\u00a0papers in journals and proceedings in the areas indicated above. Most of these are cited by various scholars worldwide. Published papers<\/a> have been widely circulated worldwide through Google Research Gate and Academia.edu. I have been involved in\u00a052<\/strong>\u00a0consultancy assignments as a team leader or member and out of these, 18 were international assignments. Consultancy assignments have mainly been on training (short courses), evaluation of projects\/programmes, external monitoring of projects\/programmes, feasibility studies and development of project proposals<\/a> and other documents<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
