Presented by the Department of Forestry & Wood Science, Faculty of AgriSciences, Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch, South Africa.

These proceedings represent scientific contributions to the PF 2014 symposium titled ―The Anchor of your Value Chain‖ presented in Stellenbosch, South Africa, from the 3th to the 5th of March 2014. The Conference is jointly hosted by Stellenbosch University‘s Department of Forest and Wood Science and the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO). The PF 2014 symposium, an international event held every four years, is a forum for forest scientists and practitioners from around the world to share their research, knowledge, experience, and emerging ideas with the wider forestry community. The stewardship of the PF 2014 lies with the international precision forestry community, and this conference is third of its kind to be presented by Stellenbosch University. This meeting follows previous successful symposia held in 2006 and 2010. The high quality of material presented and the large number of delegates attending PF 2014 attest to current and continued interest in promoting the all-important facet of precision forestry to the international forest industry.
